| | We have a new girlie in the Bundesrat
The girlies are taking over the Bern asylum.
Simonetta Sommaruga has been voted in as Moritz Leuenberger's replacement. The Social Democrats defended their Bundesrat seat. http://www.tagesanzeiger.ch/schweiz/...story/29255214
Merz is up next.

Simonetta Sommaruga (SP Bern) 98 votes, 4th vote 159 votes
Jean François Rime (Freiburg SVP) 77 votes, 4th vote 81 votes
Jacqueline Fehr (Zurich SP) 70 votes
there is now a female majority in the Bundesrat.
Personally I am very happy with the result.

It is progress when women appear in leadership roles with the same proportion that they appear in the population.
Gender still makes a difference. Get real... look at the US congress.

But if the SVP had not done everything in Blocher's power to ruin the government's work while he was in it in order to copy paste the Zürcher Party agenda into the Swiss law book with no consideration to the fact that CH is not a one party system by any means, the others party would not be so "mean" to them now.
The day the SVP accepts that the parliament rules and not a single party, they will have their chance again to be considered like any other party in such elections as the Bundesrat Conseil fédéral Cussagl federal.
