In their book "How Democracies Die", Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt believe that this is due, among other things, to the "brutalization of political style". They fall far short. This proves that even those who claim to have read Hannah Arendt's "Totalitarianism" do not understand what the great philosopher is warning us about. Arendt describes how the art of cluttering the mind with categories only serves to "create opinions". Opinions rather than reality are always associated with ideology. Opinions should not be confused with judgment, which is always based on reason and not on style.
The 2019 Swiss elections were a real rcs data malaysia expression of the immense judgment of the citizens of this country. The Greens were elected to the small chamber - just as in 2007, but even stronger - the SP was significantly weakened on the union wing and the strongest party, the SVP, received a clear nudge in the nose. The CVP and FDP are still present, albeit with losses. None of this was foreseen in the media and polls in the run-up to the elections. The editor-in-chief of AZ Media, Patrik Müller, ran the headline one day after the 2019 elections: "Poll flop for the Greens, SP and SVP". Of course, poll floppers are still doing big business in the Swiss media. The poll flop continued until the Council of States elections: Instead of the Green Party's success trend propagated and predicted by experts and the media after election Sunday, the results on November 17 were completely different: except for Ticino, and here only by a very narrow margin, so that a recount would definitely be called for, "politics as usual".
