As a German living near the Lake Constance I still pray each day to God that he persuades the Swiss to invade my country to free me from my rotten government in Berlin.

Seriously - we expected Blocher and his SVP (Schweizer-Volks-Partei or Swiss-Peoples-Party) to win much more. De facto this slight gain in votes is a setback for him since he obviously reached his zenith without having a major impact on Swiss politics. Christoph Blocher is around 70 years in the meantime and he has not much time left to complete his “conservative revolution”.
The country will stay under the reign of the exactly same administration as before. (Bundesrat - 7 members) of two SVP (Peoples Party), two FDP (Freisinnige), one CP (Christian Democrat) and two SP (Social Democrats... ...Socialists). There will be absolutely no practical changes in Swiss politics.
