POLISHED
Thomas Götz, the queen and the left-hand traffic of Stokholm
The last RestTZucker of the year is about crying men and a mayor who wants revenge on his constituents.
What can be said about a year in which a satirist became Thurgau of the Year? That the less we have to laugh, the more we need satire. There was a lot of crying this year. About Queen Elizabeth II – it’s understandable. But how are you supposed to react when two adult tennis players are howling like dogs? Cry or be ashamed of others.
We will have to do it again after the elections in autumn 2023. While the entire Thurgau SVP list is already campaigning, a liberal former national councilor makes his rounds alone. The candidates in the center are frantically trying to achieve harmony, and on the left/green there is the threat of a showdown between an old white man and a young mother. GLP’s Ueli Fisch is recovering from his last election defeat and mentally preparing for his next one.
That’s what they get out of it, the Frauenfelder. To deny their liberal Stapi a career in federal Bern. Grad z’leid now does green-left transport policy as president of the Association of Cities. For example, he wants to forbid his constituents to go quickly to the Coop for shopping. You can only do it slowly. Next, checkpoints will be set up at the entrances to the city, where farmers will have to pay tolls if they want to drive in their Subaru and pickup trucks. Just like in the Middle Ages. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the citizens’ revenge for the Federal Council elections on 7 December 2022.
