Re: The End of Switzerland?

It reads more like a high school essay than a very researched journalistic piece.

I do agree with his assessment of the Swiss political scene. Calmy-Rey's and Merz's gaffes last week made me cringe.
I agree. It's a very unobjective assessment full of his own political agendas and not everybody would agree with his views. But he does raise a good point about Switzerland's political leaders, especially their performance on the international stage. They do lack polish and they can come over provincial. On the other hand, Macshane might want to reflect on his own political system before he criticises that of others. At a time when there is a furious outpouring of public anger against the House of Commons for the way they've abused their expenses, the public's trust in politicians in Macshane's own country is at an all time low.
