Swiss Socialist Federation
The Swiss Socialist Federation (french: Fédération socialiste suisse, abbreviated FSS) was a political party in Switzerland. Founding The FSS emerged from a split in the Swiss Socialist Party in 1939. On September 16, 1939 the Swiss Socialist Party expelled Léon Nicole and the party branches loyal to him, citing Nicole's defense of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. The majority of the Socialist Party members in Geneva sided with Nicole. In Vaud the Socialist Party was also divided, as the majority led by Jeanneret-Minkine sided with Nicole. In October 1939 Nicole began building a new inter-cantonal organization, mobilizing the organizations supporting him.Jeanneret, Pierre.

Political Party
A political party is an organization that coordinates candidates to compete in a particular country's elections.

Some countries have Single-party state, only one political party while others have Multi-party system, several.
