There will be elections soon in Switzerland. One party, the SVP, makes a very aggressive election campaign against foreigners (and Greens, and liberal judges,...). The UN has already branded parts of the campaign (e.g., a poster showing three white sheep kicking out a black sheep) as racist.

This online-game (Zottel saves Switzerland) can give you an idea of their campaign. Click below on "Zum Spiel", choose the upper right game 2, choose the highest number, and click on "Spiel starten". Your task is to "kick back" as many black sheep as possible while letting the white sheep pass, of course.

Each country has right-fringe parties who think and act similarly. But what makes me angry and sad at the same time about that awful campaign is that the SVP is the largest party in Switzerland and is considered a conservative center party.

Usually, I like to think that from conservative to neo-fascist or racist is still quite a distance but here I fail to see any difference. No wonder the German neo-fascists have already adapted some of the SVP posters for their purposes.
