I see in the news today that the extremely right wing party in Switzerland is on the rise in popularity in coming election, as they are expected to get 30% in parliament election today. This is a sad news if true in history and for democracy in Switzerland. As fascism has nothing to do with democracy and is just a front for totalitarian government and xenophobic views of the world. It has been tested and only brings misery and disaster to the country in question. This is a history that all of Europe knows all to well today. Since it was the blood of the public that paid for this type of intolerance and politics.
I however fear that if the far-right party of SVP gets more power then it already has it is going to be a disaster for Switzerland. I would not be surprised if the last war in Europe is going to come from Switzerland. Even if they claim to be neutral. But that neutrality is being removed by the far right political party of SVP. The policies that SVP supports always ends with troops crossing the borders. The public in Switzerland should be wise to reject and throw out the SVP party forever. As I say. It is only going to end badly for Switzerland if they don’t. It might take few more years, but it is already moving rather fast in the worst direction possible.
Can Switzerland really go to war with it next neighbours. Yes, I would think so. In fact, I far that might happen sooner rather then later. But that would be the last war in Europe and would mean the end of Switzerland in its current form.
More on the disaster that looms in Switzerland.

The most preposterious and unjustified writing I have read in a long time.
You know. If this political party wins and has there way you are going to be thrown out of Switzerland. As it is there policy from what I can gather to close down Switzerland completely. After they have cleaned Switzerland of foreigners.
Bonjour, tout d’abord, un grand bravo pour vos blog, je suis régulièrement les informations que vous nous donnez au sujet des volcans en Island (principalement).
En ce qui concerne votre article sur le „fachisme“ en Suisse, je pense qu’il faut faire attention aux mots utilisés, car ce qui se passe en Suisse n’est rien d’autre qu’un ras-le -bol général sur le comportement inapproprié des personnes qui y sont accueillies. Donc ceux qui pensent que le „fachisme“ augmente le sont en fait eux-même contre ce peuple.
Voilà, en résumé, rien de grave à l’horizon…
Bonne journée
Hi John,
First of all I am a regular reader of your vulcano Blog. It is a absolutely great scientific blog, congratulation.
When it comes to politics you have to be careful about your wordings and the media you are reading and citing. Please inform yourself about the country and its political system profundly first, instead of expressing inappropriate statements. It is like in science: Verify your sourcing!
Although I am not a friend of SVP at all, you should know that only the extreme positions of some hardliners makes it to the international press. It is true that SVP proposed to limit immigration to Switzerland, but this proposal will never have a chance to be accepted. In the parlament, SVP possesses only about 25% of all seats. They lost 3-4% in the last election.
The issue about immigration in Switzerland is due to the influx of people in past 10 year. The population grew from 7 to 8 million during that time, creating several „space“ relating problems. BTW Switzerland has about 22% of foreigners… Which european country is comparable to this number?
Finally the Swiss are among the most peaceful people in the world… So your war statement is ridiculous.
