The Swiss voted on Sunday for a new parliament, with initial projections showing the populist right strengthening its already dominant position amid concerns over migration and asylum rules. Polling stations closed at noon (1000 GMT) after only a few hours, as most Swiss vote in advance by post or online. Early projections from some of Switzerland’s 26 cantons hinted that the country’s largest party, the populist right-wing anti-immigration Swiss People’s Party (SVP), had made gains and could possibly tip the scale in parliament towards a slight centre-right majority.
