    Get ready for the “250 Chf is enough!” initiative. They cannot accept a result if it’s against their sponsors interests.

    The fact that people want to pay for literal propaganda shows you how brainwashed the average swiss person is.

    Für was staht SVP scho wider?
    Schweizer Volksverkäufer Partei?
    Schweizer Volksverräter Partei?
    Schweizer Vollidioten Partei?
    Schweizer Vorbestraften Partei?

  4. Yeah, had they withdrawn the initiative, they could have claimed that they were “generous” to withdraw it in favour of Rösti’s 300 .- and that otherwise we’d now be on 200 .-.

    Now that they clearly lost the 200 .-, people start asking if Rösti’s 300 .- were actually needed to defend against Rösti’s parties 200 .- or if the 200 .- would have been turned down in the vote regardless.

  5. Well, tough luck. You just shot yourself in the foot in more than one way:

    1. It’s probably not a good sign for motivation within your party when the people reject your proposal this hard. Going into the next national votes, morale among your supporters will probably be lower than usual.

    2. You just massively strengthen SRG, by making everyone aware how important it is as a public service. Congratulations: The people are now aware and are openly supporting the SRG and will probably protect it in the future.

    3. You probably didn’t make yourself very popular with this stunt. I think outside of your party, nobody really wanted this and now your image has been damaged.

    4. You just showed how weak and unpopular you are and you managed to massively mobilize the left to turn out and vote against you. Thanks, SVP, you are doing a great job in teaching the left to stand up and to never skip voting day. The cities turned out in crazy high numbers and will probably go into the next voting day with this momentum. So, it’s going to get rough for you.

  6. With the amount of stupid ideas SVP comes up with, I thought they are immune to embarrassment anyway.

    Lovely, I wish them lots of infighting and fun. Go SVP, do what you do best: hatred.

    Anyone with a brain knows that the initiative wasn’t really about serafe for the people rather about the companies not paying anything, as usual
