Greens surge in Switzerland as climate fears mount

Green parties have made strong gains in Switzerland's parliamentary election, according to initial projections.But projections show a combined vote for the two green parties of around 20%, which would make them major players in Swiss politics.

Not all votes have been counted yet but the national broadcaster projected the Green Party's share surged 5.6 points to 12.7% of the vote, while the smaller, more centrist Green Liberal Party garnered 7.6%. "It is not a green wave, it is a tsunami, a hurricane," deputy party leader Celina Vara told Swiss radio.

This could be a test case for other countries to see if a green agenda is economically valid!
