The canton of Bern in Switzerland held elections on Sunday and results indicate a definite SWING to the social democrats and greens, who won with a LANDSLIDE / AVALANCHE result and gained 3 of the 7 seats.
CONFUSION
The right wing Swiss People's Party were HARDEST HIT. They'd held out for a 4th seat but lost one!
DEAD HEAT
Centre right radical party hopefuls saw their weekend celebrations DASHED when they lost one seat to a greenie. ""For the government election, it was a case of voters wanting to punish the Right for trying to claim six out of seven seats," said Hanspeter Kriesi, head of the Center for Comparative and international Studies in Zurich & EXPERT.
Too arrogant

"The Right was seen as too arrogant. Even so, it was a surprise since Bern is traditionally conservative.".... "The Greens helped the Left " ..... ribbid gurggle ..... PHOTOFINISH Yes indeed for the People's party are very anti-European.

last in the series of how foreigners (including non EEC types) voted. Learn what these types look like. Set your dogs upon them. NATION DIVIDED. As Swissinfo put it, the Bernese just don't want right wing government any more. We might think back to the elections of the past in the Helvetian republic when the Swiss seemed to vote simultanously for more EEC and less FOREIGNERS in their referenda on the DUBLIN TREATY and SHENGEN AGREEMENT and stuff like that.
