A cheerful bustle gripped the Swiss Social Democrats. Candidates for deputies of the Federal Council, that is, candidates for the right to be nominated by their parliamentary group as members of the Federal Council, can be seen these days at interviews.
It should be as informal as possible: the name of the corresponding candidate is drawn from the bag, who then must answer the moderator’s questions: How does the summoned person feel about the army, about neutrality, about the climate – what’s just that? What. It’s all somehow cute.
The represented parliamentarians, government advisers, presidents of parliamentary groups are proven democratic people, but are now forced to participate in a political beauty pageant from Geneva to Schaffhausen.
“Casting show” of the oldest party in Switzerland.
Yes, the SPS, the political arm of the labor movement, has changed Switzerland for generations – and therefore for the better. It was the home of townspeople who cared about something. She took her democratic culture seriously. And therefore they took it seriously – as a party of historical proportions.
Could this party ever come up with the idea of introducing individuals of the rank of the Federal Council on a trip to Switzerland? After his name is pulled from the bag, Willie Ritchard obediently answers questions about the state of the nation and the world? Hans-Peter Tschudi answering a fellow quiz-taker’s questions? Does Willy Spühler strive for successful order fulfillment? Does Otto Stich willingly jump over an extended stick?
And only Pierre Graber, comrade monsieur, government authority from Vaud, obediently marches along the candidate podium into the circus arena to lure his comrades into a trap?
The very idea is grotesque.
Where did the Swiss Social Democratic Party end up? Alain Berset’s successor to the Federal Council turned into a parade down the catwalk. Who is the most beautiful, fastest and quickest?
Elections to the Federal Council as Jackami.
Even resignation is still a reason to make a significant appearance: I’m not running – so I’m a federal councilor of sorts. Cedric Wermuth, Mattea Meyer, Tamara Funicello, Fabian Molina and Mustafa Atici announced their non-candidacy for marketing reasons.
Who hasn’t done it yet, who wants to do it again?
Purpose of the Federal Council: student fun. Nomination of candidates: childish. Party of Great Designers: Abducted by Lecture Youth. Bottom line:
Infantilism.
