The Economist Intelligence Unit does not expect the government's composition to change at the next election, in October 2015. However, the right-wing Swiss People's Party (SVP) remains a source of potential instability.
The SVP's capacity to unsettle Switzerland's consensus-driven political culture was highlighted in February 2014 when the party supported a contentious limit on EU immigration, which was narrowly passed in a referendum.
