Biggest Swiss party takes aim at immigration, EU

Election candidates for the Swiss People's Party, Switzerland's biggest, signed a "contract with the people" on Sunday promising to deport foreign criminals and halt "mass immigration".
The "contract" also promises to fend off any moves for Switzerland to join the European Union.
About 200 party candidates for October parliamentary polls signed the document, printed on parchment, before a thousand party loyalists at a ceremony in Zurich.
A similar document signed ahead of federal elections in 2007 had slightly different priorities -- the top three then included tax cuts, now replaced by the promise to turn back immigration.
"We have the feeling that what concerns most people at the moment is immigration," party candidate Christoph Moergeli said at the ceremony.
