		As such, many observers believe that Blocher’s decision to revert to his old habits and choose the emotionally charged World War II commemorative services as a stage for his politics was a desperate move to boost opposition to the agreements.
		Even if Blocher’s controversial speech fails to turn the tide for his party in boosting opposition to the Schengen and Dublin agreements, it is not likely to be the last time that the maverick politician goes against traditional Swiss political etiquette or customary codes of conduct.
		However, some observers argue that Blocher’s search for historical arguments to oppose European integration signal that he and his party may be running out of contemporary ammunition to convince voters that bilateral agreements with the EU are something to be feared.

		Vor einer Woche drohte SVP-Präsident Ueli Maurer der Schweiz mit einer eigenen SVP-Zeitung, falls Christoph Blocher nicht wieder in den Bundesrat gewählt würde.
		Und wenn Bundesrat Christoph Blocher sein Amt missbraucht und gegen die Gewaltentrennung verstösst, dann ist das ein Komplott und ein Geheimplan und überhaupt sind alle Nicht-SVP-Wähler dreckige Ratten und Spielverderber, die dem strammen Eidgenossen sein verfassungsmässiges Recht auf Rassismus, krimineller Fahrweise oder Steuerhinterziehung verbieten wollen.
		Wenn die rassistische Ausschaffungsinitiative und die faschistoiden Schäfli-Plakate nicht ziehen, dann wird halt ein Komplott samt Geheimplan zur Abwahl von SVP-Pate Christoph Blocher inszeniert und wenn auch das nur den Argumentationsnotstand der SVP offenbart, dann muss halt mal wieder das alte Lied von “Steuern runter” gesungen werden.
