REUTERS/Arnd WiegmannZURICH - Switzerland looked set to shift to the right in its national elections on Sunday, as concerns about immigration and political correctness trumped fears about climate change and melting glaciers.
The party campaigned on a platform of preventing the country's population - currently at 8.7 million people - exceeding 10 million. Rising health costs also looked set to benefit the left-wing Social Democrats . Switzerland's second biggest party was poised to increase its share by 0.4 percentage points of the vote to 17.2%.
The result is unlikely to change the make-up of Switzerland's government, the Federal Council, where seven cabinet positions are divided among the top four parties, according to their share of the vote.
