Seriously thinking about taking our major investments into Switzerland off the table. While we are not a major employer we do contribute significantly to our community and do employ people here, paying their salaries plus 1st and 2nd pillars. Further to the employees we hired we also support many other Swiss businesses who supply us with their products and services. With this type of xenophobic rhetoric spewing louder and louder we are not certain we made the right investment choices.

Interested to hear from other people who are also here supporting the Swiss economy.

we're not here to support the Swiss economy, we're here because of tax efficiencies.

It is now confirmed by some serious investigations, done by Isopublic. While 38% say that there are too many Germans here, 58% say that it is quite alright. A majority of people agree that Switzerland NEEDS the German immigrants. And while the Germans "enjoy" a reputation of being arrogrant, most people in real contact with German residents did NOT experience arrogrance.

Natalie Rickli to me anyway is the Swiss version of Mrs Palin.

Don't agree. She is definitely not a milf

So, you want Mrs Palin to become President of the USA ? Do you ever listen to majorities or just some freaky extreme minorities ? A definite majority here says that the German presence here is alright and only a minority shares the position of Mrs Pa....Rickli

Combine the two. Frauk Prickli.

I read the interview here. http://www.blick.ch/news/schweiz/die...id1862944.html .

It is Palin/Le Pen level. Goldilocks economics. There are 695,000 Swiss living abroad (many in neighboring countries http://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfs/portal/f...m_ausland.html and 70,000 in Germany) , I assume that is a problem for her too. Or rather an opportunity, kick 700,000 foreigners out, bring in 700,000 Swiss citizens and live happily ever after.

She does not like to be served or healthcared by foreigners (Germans especially) so I guess she will replace them all with homegrowns in good old 1940's autarcy fashion. They can pick potatoes or build roads or run banks like, actually better, any other foreigner (select the appropriate countries) I guess.

SVP sinking to new lows. Good fun to read though. THe tongue in cheek questions from the journalist included.

Surprised the SVP let her out on her own.
OK for me; the more people recognise some of the extremists in the SVP so the the more votes they will lose.

It is interesting to see that Ulrich Giezendanner, together with Mr Peter Spuhler one of the best chaps the SVP has, contradicted Mrs Pal....ckli immediately, stating that his experiences with Germans here are excellent and that he cannot agree to her notions

Bloody foreigners, coming over here, healing our yobs

She's more like an Ann Coulter, 'Pretty' Right Wing.
