Can someone please recommend a site and provide a link for good election coverage tonight?
I’ll be watching from the pool in AZ tonight.
Thanks in advance.
The Swiss voted today:
A slide to the right.
By Reuters
9:55AM BST 19 Oct 2015
The anti-immigration Swiss People’s Party (SVP) won the biggest share of the vote in Sunday’s national parliamentary election, keeping pressure on Bern to introduce quotas on people moving from the European Union.
Success for the SVP, coupled with gains made by the pro-business Liberal Party (FDP), led political commentators to talk of a “Rechtsrutsch” – a “slide to the right” – in Swiss politics.
Immigration was the central topic for voters amid a rush of asylum seekers from the Middle East and North Africa to Europe.
“The vote was clear,” SVP leader Toni Brunner told Swiss television. “The people are worried about mass migration to Europe.”
Sunday’s result cemented the SVP’s position as the dominant force in Swiss politics.

`Just got robocalled by the liberal candidate for the wrong damn riding.
Make sure you let the Council of Candians know. They will want to file a court case. Oh . . . wait . . . maybe that`s just when Conservatives make errors.
The Rebel will have live coverage tonight.
