Geneva (AFP) - Swiss voters swung to the right in parliamentary elections on Sunday dominated by concerns over Europe's migrant crisis, with the country's largest party, the populist Swiss People's Party, on track to win a record number of seats.

The Swiss People's Party (SVP) was seen raking in 29.5 percent of the vote, compared to the 26.6 percent won in 2011 and beating its previous record score of 28.9 in 2007, the national broadcaster RTS projected.
That should allow the party, known for its virulent campaigns against immigration, the European Union and Islam, to seize 65 of the 200 seats in the lower house, up from the current 54. ...
     Because, as well all know, any campaign for preserving such awful things as one's nation, culture and family must be "virulent"--like a disease.
