		The party became involved in controversy after ironically declaring itself to be the party of the "Besserverdienenden" ("better-earning people"), after the SPD had advocated a special tax for the "Besserverdienenden".

		Within Switzerland some feel that non-integration with the EEA is hurting the economy, but integration would, among other things, take power away from the regional canton governments, and end a tradition that has seen Switzerland through some of the most destructive centuries of European history relatively unscathed.

		In a free democracy, individual freedom would be protected, not threatened, by a defined, limited and subservient government whose primary role would be to provide national and civil defence and to prevent some individuals and groups in society from imposing their preferences and choices upon others against their will.

		Switzerland followed a much different history from that of its European neighbors, mostly because no ruler since the 14th century was able to claim more than a theoretical lordship over the small, yet well organized group of cantons that comprised Switzerland.
		This location left the Confederacy of Switzerland well placed to interfere in the continual power struggles of the period, and the reputation of their army – probably the most powerful in Europe at the end of the 15th century brought fear to their enemies.
		Given Switzerland’s continuing prosperity, economic arguments are rarely heard, although there is a broad acceptance – especially in the financial community – that the Euro will become a standard feature of commercial life in the near future.

	Switzerland Government Information
		Switzerland is a federal state composed of 26 cantons (20 are "full" cantons and six "half" cantons for purposes of representation in the federal legislature) that retain attributes of sovereignty, such as fiscal autonomy and the right to manage internal cantonal affairs.
		Under an arrangement between the four major parties called the "magic formula" which was introduced in 1959 but ended in December 2003, two Federal Councilors (ministers) were elected each from the Christian Democrats, the Social Democrats, and the Free Democrats and one from the Swiss People's Party.
		This shift in voting shares ended the 44-year old "magic formula," the power-broking agreement of the four coalition parties, and gave a second seat in the 7-person Swiss cabinet to the Swiss People's Party at the expense of the Christian Democrats, now the weakest party with 14.4% of the votes.
