Re: Europe

I think...and hope...that many people get out and vote this week, and hopefully against the SVP. Watching their campaign has been like watching the Republicans...very aggressive, and hardly anyone is pushing back (except Calmy-Rey). My usually Green voting wife is voting SP this time (plus she's too knowledgeable about inside Green politics, and is fed up with what she sees going on there). And I personally hope Blocher is voted out of the Bundesrat...let them go into opposition...he is really a Berlusconi-type.

No, unfortunately he is not a Berlusconi-typ - he is much smarter. I also went for SP this time, though I am not especially happy with them. Funny I do not know many people who like SVP - so this will be a exciting weekend and hopefully one with a satisfying outcome for most.

Isn't he Berlusconi-type in being a media baron and populist politico at the same time?
