<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Yeah its great to have some media
attention, we are on page 2 of Switzerland biggest newspaper.<br>
<br>
But the big thank you has to got to Alex directly, it is pretty
obvious that the election was primary about his person and not
about his party. Nonetheless it shows that we have good people in
our rows and we will strife to get even more successful. It's a
big day to win a majority vote!<br>
<br>
But we have to be realistic, at the same day we had elections in
the Cities of St.Gallen and Gossau which are more relevant and in
both we didn't even get 1% of the votes, and no seat, even though
we calculated with at least one seat.<br>
<br>
Congrats to Alex Arnold!<br>
<br>
The result is also a clear verdict: Topics instead of Heads is not
working well - we have to go local and make the hard work to make
the pirates known. It will mean, less topics and more popular
faces. <br>
