Swiss form Anti-PowerPoint political party


Switzerland is the world's only "direct democracy" and has become famous for the ease with which a political party can be formed. A recent New York Times article 9-22-11) gave examples of the "auto party" (which advocated higher speed limits) and the "animal party" "to give animals a voice in politics. Now there is the Anti-PowerPoint party which aims to free Swiss citizens from having to sit through boring PowerPoint presentations.

  1. I understand where these people are coming from but I don't think anyone here would take them seriously. A lot of power points are very boring especially those done for some presentations or meetings. Those where people just read exactly what is written there I think are the most boring, especially when they do not even add images for people to look at and at least get entertained with something. The one that got me more curious is the animal party. How are the animals going to vote or choose what they want when it comes to politics? Just depending on what side they move to or something? Or the person that gives him the best food? This just makes no sense.
