Insurance EDITORIAL CONTENTS 3 A weatherproof system wiss politics are rarely mentioned in the foreign media. The goings-on in the Federal Parliament are usually far too mundane to raise any interest abroad. SThis isn’t helped by the fact that the mechanism of our system of direct demo- cracy is diffi cult for outsiders to grasp. Indeed many foreign journalists fail to compre- hend how our seven-member government can consist of representatives from four dif- ferent political parties, that we hold referenda and that true power lies with the Swiss people themselves. As a result, Switzerland is generally only written about on the business and culture pages or, ever since Roger Federer started making waves, under sport. Even our federal elections have largely been ignored abroad up to now. After all, we neither elect a char- “XENOPHOBIA: Switzerland Criticised Abroad.

Polit- The cartoonist Chappatte in “NZZ” ical life in Switzerland is simply so stable that it’s boring for outsiders. This time round things were rather different for once. Never before have the media 5 in Frankfurt, London, New York and elsewhere reported so extensively about Swiss Mailbag politics. And what would a review of the world’s press have us believe? The international media described a racist, egotistical and divided country. For instance, the Washington 5 Books: Music from French-speaking Post ran a piece under the headline “Swiss Fury at Foreigners Boiling Over”. Spiegel Switzerland Online in Germany knew we were a “Democracy on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown”. 6 And the Independent newspaper in England fretted on its front page that Switzerland A Christmas journey on the tram had become “Europe’s Heart of Darkness”. 7 It is traditional in the run-up to an election for current or former members of the Images: Eduard Spelterini: Photographer Federal Council who have studied the international press to publicly voice concerns about and pioneering balloonist Switzerland’s image abroad and even worry that negative reporting could turn investors 8 away from Switzerland.
