Widmer-Schlumpf resignation call undemocratic?

for following the current day's events, I avail myself of my exile from Northern Germany, as a rule the online edition of the NZZ . Occasionally still come 20min and (probably from homesickness), the good old Teletext into play. In the present everything is in the shadow of a debate with the vice causa Widmer-Schlumpf the united Swiss media throng appears once again to agree suspicious. The reason for it:

The evil SVP proves to be a bad loser in the Federal elections and wants the poor, righteous (and now also concerned by death threats) Federal Councillor from government and party exclusive. This is the SVP does naturally without any apparent reason, and (how could it be otherwise?) In inhuman way ...

What I think the debate by pushing: even so-called experts always claim that the Rücktrittsforderderung is undemocratic in severe ways. This is not so! It would be undemocratic if the cancellation request on 13 had appeared December 2007. (At that time, but only the group exclusion was decided, but what is completely understandable, but when a Federal Councillor of the worst enemies politisichen - SP and the Greens -. Had been elected unanimously, ported at the same time but not even a minority of his own party and / or elected), the democratic decision of the election-Widmer-Schlumpf, however, was the SVP at the time (albeit grudgingly and perhaps a little too loud protest) is accepted. Of a withdrawal request at that time but was never seriously discussed. Because it's just acting a democratic vote. Turned

the situation has only slightly more than 3 months later, with crucial details about the background of choice in the popular science-fiction film came to the public. Now it was clear that the election of Widmer Schlumpf a secret plan, forged by the exponent of the CVP and the SP went ahead, and that in this plan (to what extent was once an open question) and Widmer-Schlumpf had been opened previously, while she conveyed to the outside but the picture, "out of the blue" been chosen to be. Also makes clear the movie that Widmer-Schlumpf has lied to their party line head as she left it in the belief that they would never accept an election. The "secret plan" could only work that is so - so come at all about - because the opponents were able to start from the assumption by Widmer-Schlumpf. This was virtually the essential constant in the formula on which the political admittedly clever Blocher move by the de-selection started. This constant was delivered personally by duress Widmer-Schlumpf (and most probably via the secret plan involved in Hämmerle Andrea).


In the jurisprudence one knows the rebus sic stantibus . For serious, unforeseen change in circumstances may contract under this instrument to be amended. The circumstances have changed after the broadcast of the film on a massive scale. It was clear that Widmer-Schlumpf had acted with the interests of about 99% of voters intentionally SVP contrary. Why should it be undemocratic, they are now known to the obviously immoral, injurious behavior conscious party to withdraw from the Federal Council, to which they belong to activist as SVP has claimed to ask? Ask, mind you, not force. It can not be a democracy, auffzuordern a magistrates publicly for something? (How often Blocher was asked during his term of office by his many political opponents to resign?) Widmer-Schlumpf needs are quite apart of course not to follow the prompt.

Nor am I able to recognize what it should be undemocratic if the party - legally correct and in agreement with the large majority of their Members - the party of exclusion Widmer-Schlumpf trying to reach (if necessary via exclusion and foundation of the Grisons section) ...

way: in the media has often claimed the very large majority of the population, the actions of the SVP in Switzerland is not goutieren causa Widmer-Schlumpf. Of over 80% approval to Widmer-Schlumpf sometimes been mentioned. How then explain your re-election successes this weekend? When will learn left journalists that they should prefer to describe things as they are, as the way they want them to be ...?

Konrad Hummler rules! Just smurf

Konrad Hummler, Managing Partner of Wegelin & Co private bank is one of the few exponents of the Swiss economy, which is commendably - although not having held political office and party membership without my knowledge - expressed again and again on political issues. And this famous not only via the comments facility Wegelin (surpassing my view all similar communication organs of wit, conciseness, originality and wide).

Even though I can not even get him to agree to all statements that he has changed in respect of original and interesting ideas in this interview again surpassed itself. Here a brief summary of the main theses:

  • the Bloch-selection CVP and FDP would never have left the "free" supply. Rather, one might advance political concessions, such as a turn-must demand from the AVS.

  • not high tax rates, but the fear of collapsing the European social model drive capital into the financial center of Switzerland.

  • Because in Germany over 60% of the population lives by the state, there are no majorities find for the much-needed state mining more. The seemingly conservative government hands are tied. (Note:. Can with equal justification to explain the political left twisting in the Administrative District of Bern)

  • The aggressive German foreign policy toward neighboring tax havens to prevent the migration of capital and labor is a modern form of "building the wall" dar.

  • Bank secrecy is a social institution, because it is also the "little people" allowed the formation of savings assets.

  • Because German citizens live in a country that is heading for a fiscal disaster, they act as a kind of self-defense, if they evade foreign taxes.

  • SP-people like Hildegard Fässler, which require the tax dispute a "courtesy" of Switzerland are part of the policy, which promotes an appropriate fiscal policy disaster in Switzerland.

  • States and mafia organizations have surprisingly much in common with the Mafia, its members sometimes better provided for. (Note: He is probably still a little bit too far to go ...)

the way, I admit it. As a private banker Hummler is purely objective not exactly the most credible and least biased person, if he claims the defense of bank secrecy was for Switzerland is an existential question ...
