In the party spectrum between SVP and the Greens, the situation in the afternoon was still quite unclear: The shifts at Social Democrats, Liberals and the "Middle" party, which was created in 2021 from a merger of the Christian CVP with another party, varyed in projections depending on the canton

SVP: A model for the AfD

The SVP (Swiss People's Party), as always, made negative election campaign with fear and loss of loss: it rushes against foreigners, warns of approaching the EU and some representatives in a war for the preservation of Swiss culture. Since 1999 she has had most seats in the larger parliamentary chamber, the National Council. The AfD sees the SVP as a model.

at the seven -member government, the Federal Council, the elections should not change anything. It has been composed of the four long -term voting parties for decades. The seats are divided between the four main parties in a ratio of 2-2-2-1. According to the forecasts, that would be the middle again, FDP. The liberals, the SVP and the Social Democrats.

Occupation in Switzerland usually low

The polling stations in Switzerland were only open for a few hours because the vast majority of voters had already handed over their ballot papers in the four weeks before the election day. Voter turnout in Switzerland is traditionally low in parliamentary elections and is around 45 percent. As the Swiss "Sonntagszeitung" reported, the parties in the final sprint had left nothing to be unexpected before the election to lure as many followers as possible to the urns. In view of the dominance of the topic of migration in the election campaign, an upswing for the right -wing populists was expected in advance.
