Well, in Switzerland they follow the trend in Europe and vote for right wing morons who are in cahoots with them. I’m not joking, the current minister of the transportation department worked previously as a lobbyist for the oil industry and as a lobbyist for the Swiss Vehicle Dealers.
Luckily thanks to the direct democracy, his plan to massively expand the highways was thrown out in a popular vote. But he still forced the railways to increase fares above inflation and cut the subsidies for regional public transport
That’s why they call him Ölbert instead of Albert (Öl means oil)
