My neighbours vote on Sunday: Parliamentary Elections 2007 in Switzerland. Here alarming capaign posters by the Swiss People’s Party (SVP):

Schweizerische Volkspartei (SVP) [1] – Swiss People’s Party (official website)
Volksinitiative für die Ausschaffung krimineller Ausländer [2] –
– Initiative to expel foreign criminals (official website)

The tumultuous debate on immigration is nothing new.
