Strange how climate becomes less of an issue when faced with being ethnically replaced.

If the left cared so much about climate then why not make a concession on mass immigration? Maybe climate change for a population of 9 millions is ridiculous and is used as a way to get mass immigration so that the left can keep power forever without challenge? But what do I know.

It need not even be an exchange. If they sincerely cared about 'climate', they'd outlaw all immigration, since nothing does more 'damage to the climate' than importing people from the third world and having them enjoy first world living standards.

Climate's just a pseudo-religious belief for them that their leaders use to manipulate people into doing what they want.

Switzerland looked set to shift to the right in national elections on Sunday, as concerns about immigration trumped fears about climate change and melting glaciers...

They're obsessed with "the right," but cheer on shifts to the left. Also, I wonder why concerns about immigration would be more impactful than concerns about melting glaciers. Weird!

The party campaigned on a platform of preventing the country's population - currently at 8.7 million people - exceeding 10 million.

How extreme, we won't let in more immigrants than 15% of the current population.

Rising health costs also looked set to benefit the left-wing Social Democrats (SP). Switzerland's second-biggest party was poised to increase its share by 0.7 percentage points of the vote to 17.4%, increasing its representation by one to 40 seats.

More proof that people are retarded. Although I think this is also media bias/spin. They're not gaining much, and who can say what specific issues led to that.

In contrast, the Greens were expected to see their share of the votes fall by 4 percentage points to 9%, and lose six seats.

"The result means it will be more difficult for progressive issues or issues like the environment and sustainability," said Cloe Jans from pollsters GFS Bern. "Politicians will feel less pressure from outside to push this agenda in the next four years after this result."

Mask off? Politicians should only feel pressure from the people, not "outside."

"The progressive zeitgeist of the four years ago has disappeared. After four years of crises, with coronavirus and Ukraine, people are more conservative than they were in 2019," said Michael Hermann, a political analyst at pollsters Sotomo.

Big if true although, again, there's plenty of editorializing going on here.

I just looked it up - Switzerland has close to a dozen parties in their version of congress.

Eco voters are hard lefties. If they're abandoning the green party, they're probably flocking to what ever party is most similar to it, possibly slightly to the right. That appears to be this "Social Democrats (SP)" party.

If that's how it went across the entire population, you'd expect the most left-wing party to lose, everything in-between to stay more or less the same (they're losing members to the right, but gain from the left for a ~ net-zero tally) and the most right-wing party to gain.

Switzerland is in 3rd place in the OECD in terms of the share of immigrants in its population, with the foreign-born accounting for 26% of the total population.

Yeah, too late. They're fucked.

Depends on the demographic breakdown of those 26%, they've got a lot of European immigrants in there to. And they are a lot more focused on assimilation instead of integration
