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.

That's an interesting case to analyze, following the money for those campaigns might be dangerous. Just a few days ago the US sent notes to several countries regarding external influences on elections.

Additionally, many european countries are literally getting old. The birth rate has been dropping for a while.

31% of the population of Switzerland are non-Swiss residents without voting rights.

I wonder how much of that is in the service industry.

Service industry and, surprisingly, upper echelons of corporate management.

Switzerland imports a lot of people for executive and c-suite positions.
