Parliamentary bench

5 years of the National Council: departures, comebacks, farewells

Not all 183 members of parliament made it through the entire parliamentary term. Who was the first to leave? How many came back? Who was sworn in twice? And where do the parties park their personnel reserves on the bench? 

The National Council actually consists of 183 members. In the last five years, however, 214 people have been elected to the National Council. There is also staff turnover among MPs. Krone+ has analyzed which parties had to fall back on the bench most often, which politicians had the shortest careers as MPs and who was even sworn in twice during this parliamentary term - and who left twice.
