In Switzerland, the Swiss People's Party (SVP) is nearing a record high in voter support, with nearly 30% of the electorate favoring them, according to a recent poll by Sotomo.

This marks a 2% increase from previous figures, positioning the SVP as a dominant force in Swiss politics.

Despite this surge, the party's leader, Marcel Dettling, remains a somewhat enigmatic figure to 27% of SVP voters.

Meanwhile, the Green Liberal Party (GLP) and the Social Democratic Party (SP) have seen slight declines in support.

The poll also highlights a broader European trend towards conservatism, although Swiss voters have shown a tendency to support left-leaning policies in referendums.

Key issues for voters include healthcare costs, migration, and political transparency, with many expressing dissatisfaction over high executive bonuses and perceived political corruption.
