National councillours did not press button for the vote hard enough. In the future Baden probably won’t have a direct train to Bern because of that.

Because paywall:
>Gleich zwei Aargauer Mitglieder des Parlaments drückten vergangene Woche
den falschen Knopf beziehungsweise den richtigen Knopf nicht fest
genug. Das hat Folgen für die Region Baden: Abgestimmt wurde über die
Motion der Badener Nationalrätin Marianne Binder (Mitte), die sich gegen
die Pläne des Bundes wehrte, wonach künftig kein Direktzug mehr von
Baden nach Bern fahren soll. Die Motion wurde knappst möglich mit 86 zu
85 Stimmen abgelehnt.
I live in Baden and commute to Bern twice a day, so I’m personally affected by this.
But I’m less annoyed by the result than the fact that it came by because members of our national council didn’t press a button hard enough/pushed the wrong one…or probably just didn’t pay enough attention.
Finally I can put my grain of salt in the wound:
“We have the best public transport in the world, why every small villages need to have their own train?”
I am assuming you will still be able to get there. You will just have to change trains.
Do we know the politicians that made the mistake? Would be also interesting to see the break down who was for and against it…
