The night of secret arrangements

It happens tonight, here in Bern - and we also call it 'Nacht der langen Messer'. It is about tomorrow's election of the Swiss Federal Council, i.e. the 7 persons forming our government. 6 of them should be re-elected clearly, but one seat is now free and claimed by a party providing 3 candidates. The federal assembly is free to vote any person and the night before election is said to be hectic, with lots of open and confident communication. We'll see tomorrow if there is a surprise or not.

Unfortunately I just had a few minutes to go out of the station when changing trains, take a shot and go back.
