Some comments on the coins article:
I should be noted I think, that though the article seems to for a large part make this a story about the previous governments inactivity, which is strange because in a historical context it wasnt really that inactive, especially compared to the two governments that preceded it, the governments passing the coin design bill (even with a Senäts leaning towards the opposition) was still a bigger step towards coins than any of the RUMP governments that preceded it could achieve. And with this survey the current government has also done neccesary groundwork that will most likely be used by whatever government actually produces these coins.
Also, a bit lame to use that BS Miestra quote from last term without further context.
Then, with regards to the cartoons. I understand the point of allowing them, but of course they are mostly not really funny (which might be because they arent really meant for the sake of comedy but for political reasons) or close to the truth. The last one was particularly annoying. As for the anonimity, I agree that its good to allow anonymous contributions a forum, but we all know this whole 'otherwise they might feel threatened' story is not really what is happening here. It's much more likely that its like Miestra suggests some RUMP leaning partisan who wants to have his/her cake and eat it too by spreading filth without having to take responsibility. A less likely scenario is that its a false flag, some kind of left leaning politician trying to discredit bericht by sending in crap. In either case, yeah it should be allowed if we dont want to be some kind of totalitarian state, but it doesnt really deserve our respect. Other people, like Miestra for example, might say stuff that I vehemently disagree with or even may be upset about, but at least they take responsibility for their words and I respect such people a 100 times more than these two cartoonists.
