Switzerland\u2019s leading political party is predicted to garner 28.1% of the vote in Sunday\u2019s election \u2013 an increase of 2.5 percentage points over its previous standing, according to polling by the Sotomo research institute.<\/p>\n<p>Christian Imark, a member of the Swiss National Council from SVP, said he believed the party could boost its share of the vote because it had focused on immigration, energy security and energy costs. The parliamentarian said he could feel a difference on the campaign trail compared with the previous election in 2019. \u201cYou feel it\u2019s much better for us,\u201d he said in a phone interview, noting that \u201cpeople are coming\u201d to campaign events \u201cand they want to talk with us more than four years ago\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The rising cost of living garnered significant attention in the campaign, in particular when it came to health insurance. Fabian Molina, a member of the Swiss National Council from the Social Democratic party, said: \u201cFor middle-class families, the rise of health insurance prices is the major problem in their daily budget.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Polling shows the Social Democratic party will make gains, coming in at 18.3%. The Centre party (Mitte) is at 14.3%, and the Liberals at 14.1%. The Greens are expected to face the biggest losses, polling at 9.7% \u2013 a decline of 3.5 percentage points. Green parties did well in Switzerland\u2019s previous election, when climate issues were high on voters\u2019 radars. \u201cFour years ago, climate change was certainly the number one,\u201d said Pascal Sciarini, dean of the Geneva School of Social Sciences. \u201cThis time, there is a competition between issues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Greens acknowledge the challenge. \u201cThe cost of living is increasing, so it became the main topic for the population, unfortunately,\u201d said Nicolas Walder, a member of the National Council and vice-president of the Swiss Greens. But Green politicians also underscore that they still think Swiss voters are passionate about the climate. Margot Chauderna, another vice-president of the Swiss Green party and co-president of the Young Greens in Switzerland, said \u201cthe climate is still a central concern\u201d for voters. \u201cWe are the voice of the climate in parliament,\u201d she added, noting that, in a key campaign moment for the Greens, more than 60,000 recently demonstrated in Berne \u201cto say, \u2018Hey, we still care about the environment, we are still in an emergency.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Line Rennwald, a senior researcher at the Swiss Centre of Expertise in the Social Sciences, said she expected this election to be a return to more traditional vote shares. \u201cThis year\u2019s election is more a return to normality,\u201d she said, adding that the impact on Switzerland\u2019s leadership will be limited. \u201cIt\u2019s almost certain that the composition of the government will not be affected by this election.\u201d But, she noted, \u201cthe share of the different parties in parliament matters. Probably the rightwing parties will increase the number of their seats,\u201d Rennwald said, leading to changes \u201con some specific issues\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2023\/oct\/22\/rightwing-svp-expected-to-make-gains-in-swiss-federal-elections\">The Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/rightwing-svp-expected-to-make-gains-in-swiss-federal-elections\/\">Rightwing SVP expected to make gains in Swiss federal elections<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,2110,4093,11935,11936,2371],"class_list":["post-117860","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-elections","tag-federal","tag-rightwing","tag-svp","tag-swiss"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117860","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117860"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117860\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117860"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117860"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117860"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
