So today I open my mailbox to find a brochure from the good old SVP (the Swiss political party of black sheep infamy). I decided to flip through and see what new and improved bigoted scare tactics they were using in the run up to the election. I didn’t have to flip very far.
This young man was featured on page two, alongside a story about how very, very many foreigners are criminals. Did he scare you?
A few pages later was this woman, along with statistics (obviously designed to alarm the reader) about how the Muslim population in Switzerland has been growing exponentially in recent years. Under a list of ‘facts’ about the Left (the SVP’s political opponents), I found these fun facts: not only does the Left want a multicultural society, but if we leave it to them, soon they’ll start handing passports out to everyone!
I’m sure there were plenty of other juicy tidbits contained in this 8-page SVP ad, but I had to stop reading. It was making me sick to my stomach.
Well, you shouldn’t be sorry you got that junk. After all they wasted some money sending their crap to YOU (bad bad foreigner) and if you return it (A-Post, sender pays, of course) they waist some more money paying for that too…
So make ’em pay for that sh*t!

On behalf of Switzerland, I apologize. These SVP freaks are a burden to all of us.h
waste waist
tst tst…
It seem like foreigners are the only one who read the svp-ads. Every foreigner I ask read at least part of it, but only one swiss guy. curious. But thats probably because I haven’t asked a member of the SVP…
Pascal – unfortunately this one didn’t come with a postage-paid envelope. 🙂
Matthias – thanks. 🙂 It’s nice to be reminded that despite the visibility of this campaign, most Swiss aren’t in support of it.
Anon – interesting observation. Maybe the Swiss are just more used to such ads, so they find them easier to ignore? It’s true that in the US I probably wouldn’t bother to read leaflets sent out by the republicans, either…
I saw a new ad of theirs in the paper today… a group of Muslims kneeling and praying, and a caption saying, “Use your head!”
How ignorant.
I just threw mine away. Unfortunately, there is no sender address on these things, otherwise, I would have sent it back.
