Isn't it a wonderful thing that the appointment of a new Bundesrat is more of a joyous occasion than that of public uproar and mistrust?

Tom | | | | | Damm, 18 years! It is like if the Ticinesi were really second class citizens in CH, no? "Porterò l'italianità in Governo" I will bring Italianity into Government
Please no! Don't mess up with Switzerland!  |

With 8/117, that's nearly 7%, more than their share of the population.
Hell, Motta was on it for 28 years, and president 5 times, the most of anybody in the 20th century (two guys were president 6 times, but in the 19th century).

Tom | | | | | Do you think he will need Romantsch to become friends with some other country or are you planning to let Grischun loose? |
