The Swiss People’s Party (SVP), which centered its campaign on anti-immigrant rhetoric, is projected to win 29 percent of the vote, up from 25.6 percent four years ago and higher than pre-election polls. It has been the country’s largest party since 2003.

    As we’ve seen repeatedly in the past decade, the Swiss has a major issue with racism on all fronts. It’s been pretty extreme.

      And germanny with AFD, Austria with FPÖ, USA with MAGA and Republicans…

      Swiss had a shift to the left for a while and now with Ukraine and Israel it’s right again.

      Btw. are you rage baiting? You could be a twitter bot.

        No? You can look at my comment history if you want. I just noticed that the Swiss have had multiple incidents of pretty blatant racism in the past few years, along with extreme xenophobia that wasn’t even just immigrant focused.
