Politico: Swiss election results: Far right dominates after anti-immigration campaign
Final results show sizeble gains for the far-right Swiss People’s Party, and important losses for the Greens.
The far-right and euroskeptic Swiss People’s Party (SVP) came out as a clear leader in Switzerland’s national elections, according to final results released late Sunday.
The SVP, which has centered its campaign on anti-immigrant rhetoric in an election dominated by domestic issues, has won 28.6 percent of the vote in the Parliament’s lower chamber, the National Council — up from 25.6 percent four years ago — winning 62 seats, nine more than in 2019.
While the centrist The Center party maintained its score at 14.6 percent (29 seats), the liberal FDP party suffered a small loss, losing one seat.

ReplyDeleteWhere Did the Terms ‘Left Wing’ and ‘Right Wing’ Come From?
"It has to do with seating arrangements."
Left Wing and right wing are such empty catch all labels.
When the words extreme, wing, far or right are used it is to win the arguments before the arguments are present by labeling, bringing emotion into it and eliciting a knee jerk reaction.
3 or 4 years ago WNU was complaining about google and others censoring and rightly so. He noted that the MSM mostly lied by omission. Now he is using freighted words with careless abandon. I have to think this is purposeful.
Party Platforms change over time. To describe party, you have to describe their policy recommendations and implementations of the last 4 to 20 years. I have seen political Parties be pro, anti, and pro immigration in the space of a few decades.
"Our colleagues spent their last seconds alive helping - sorting parcels with medicine and humanitarian aid for the civilian suffering from the war. The Russians destroyed a civilian building and should be convicted of war crimes. Please, spread the word "
ReplyDeleteHumanitarian aid got bombed ay Kharkiv Post office.
"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds"
But Russia bombing the shit out of a post office is another matter.

ReplyDeleteUkrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has given his military a tall order, demanding that they take at least 500 meters of territory every day after suffering tens of thousands of casualties in their floundering counteroffensive against Russian forces.
ReplyDelete500 meters per day?
You will retake the dinbsss and Crimea in about 5 years, if you are luck.
Too bad there will be no young Ukrainians left to see it. They will all be dead.
Stupid.
