Swiss stance on immigrants

No that is not the "Swiss Stance" that is like saying because Bush is president that all American agreed with him, when most Americans did not even vote for him the first time, he did not win a majority...he barely won a majority the second time.

Actually in Switzerland the SVD gets far less support than the Republicans did under Bush.

Also that advertisement was very controversial in Switzerland. The SVD only has 20% of the vote, mostly concentrated in the Northeast of the country. It's in a coalition.

So to say that is the "Swiss" attitude is quite ignorant.

When does 20% represent 100%...or even 50%???

I found it quite weird that there was a mass prayer/blessing today when they connected the two tunnels for the pan-Euro train line, are most Swiss people religious?

Most? No. Are they more religious than most Europeans and less so than Americans? Yes.

Religion plays a bigger role there than in most Euro countries for certain, especially in the Catholic cantons in the German speaking areas...
