WARSAW (BBC News) - People in Poland are voting in general elections called two years early, after the collapse of the ruling coalition in a row over a corruption investigation. Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski's conservative Law and Justice Party is being challenged by the Civic Platform, led by centre right rival Donald Tusk.  Both parties have their roots in the anti-communist Solidarity movement. Some Poles still believe a coalition between them would give Poland its best chance of stable government. Some are calling these elections the most important since the fall of Communism in 1989. Swiss Votes Being Tallied BERN, Switzerland (SwissInfo) - The rightwing Swiss People's Party and the Greens look set to make the biggest gains in Sunday's parliamentary elections, according to a first nationwide exit poll. The centre-left Social Democrats will most likely be the big losers for the first time in nearly 30 years, according to a survey commissioned by SwissInfo's parent company, the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation. Switzerland's system of proportional representation means the party cannot hope for an overall majority.  But the campaign has caused deep unease among the large immigrant community. One single issue dominated the election campaign: foreigners. Twenty percent of Switzerland's population is foreign and the now notorious poster from the right-wing Swiss People's Party, in which three white sheep kick a black sheep out of Switzerland, was widely regarded as racist.
