Itchy Pin Prick Bumps

Too much room for the SVP

The SVP is now making quite wide on the political playing field. After the elections, but has been a topic rarely discussed: the SP and the liberals of the SVP deliberately left a lot of space. The SVP skims unrivaled when it comes to identity or state ownership.

In these areas turn the wind considerably. And not in the ever right-wing circles, but in all other Mileus. Since the millennium, we see a growing search for cultural and social IdentitiƤtsbauteilen - a new penchant for pretty relaxed and carefree Swissness. State policy that is in the older modernist circles, who saw in the 90 years the EU as an anchor wide socio-political aspirations, a certain disillusionment.

This disillusionment is not a Swiss phenomenon, and more likely to be reinforced by the latest developments. The forthcoming introduction of majority voting in the European Union emphasizes the official character and does not have a candidate for many Swiss are more attractive.

FDP and SP take a strong course of adaptation to the EU. They assume that the model of sovereign statehood is small survives - even if the daily discourse care of "our country". The market opening under the heading "Cassis de Dijon" is the latest example.

so the game runs great for the SVP. It benefits as other market opening and cheap labor. But it benefits only from the social and cultural repercussions.
