And the UDC want to use THAT as a campaigning poster? The mind really boggles. No wonder young people are disgusted or totally switched off with politics, if that is the level of total c**p aimed for?

How many young people are shocked by MTV?
It's more the older style of conservative folks who are going to be shocked by this one IMHO.

| Quote: | | | | | The Val d'Herens cow Laura is the new mascot of CVP/PDC party. | | | | | .... also the stars around her head signify their (CVP) pro-EU stance, with the SVP bull appropriately branded with the date of the founding of the Swiss Federation, as if to say:
"We've stood this long alone, and we can continue to flourish and prosper alone".
[my interpretation]

The Wallis/Valais people just love their fighting cows - so they might not take kindly to this- hopefully.

The SVP or UDC never fail to amuse. It is only a matter of time until they are treated the same as child molesters.
