This is the best summary I could come up with:


ZURICH, Oct 22 (Reuters) - Switzerland looked set to shift to the right in national elections on Sunday, as concerns about immigration trumped fears about climate change and melting glaciers, though the vote is unlikely to change the make-up of the Swiss government.

Rising health costs also looked set to benefit the left-wing Social Democrats (SP).

In contrast, the Greens were expected to see their share of the votes fall by 4 percentage points to 9%, and lose six seats.

The outcome 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.

After four years of crises, with coronavirus and Ukraine, people are more conservative than they were in 2019," said Michael Hermann, a political analyst at pollsters Sotomo.

Still, he did not think the election would have a major impact on Swiss politics, with big issues like pensions still settled via referendums.
