The Swiss People’s Party (SVP), which centered its campaign on anti-immigrant rhetoric, is projected to win 29 percent of the vote, up from 25.6 percent four years ago and higher than pre-election polls. It has been the country’s largest party since 2003.

      Most of which are German or Italian, then, somewhat curiously, Portugal before France. Austria+Germany together are the largest group by language spoken. (And yes Austro-Bavarian does qualify as German (when compared to Swiss German)).

        The Portuguese are the low-cost, seasonal (construction) workers in West-Switzerland. That’s how they are before the French.
