Satire

The Federal Council takes note of these elections.

In Switzerland, the members of the Federal Council are never on a ballot: they are elected by Parliament. The people, meanwhile, vote on the issues themselves, several times a year. Landslides are rare; we find this restful.

Version française

Le Conseil fédéral prend acte de ces élections.

En Suisse, les membres du Conseil fédéral ne figurent jamais sur un bulletin : ils sont élus par le Parlement. Le peuple, lui, vote directement sur les sujets, plusieurs fois par an. Les raz-de-marée y sont rares ; nous trouvons cela reposant.

Lost in translation
  • The seven members of the Swiss Federal Council are elected by the Federal Assembly; Swiss citizens vote on federal popular votes up to four times a year.
