Governments instead of solving the problem try to put the blame in some faraway place. Like Jean Paul Sartre said: "The devil are the others". Another tatic is to divertionary tactic. An illustration of that: "...By Swiss standards, however, things are far from well. Unemployment, at almost 4 per cent, is nearing a record. Growth has turned into recession, capping years of underperformance, even compared with the sclerotic standards of its neighbour, Germany. Strangely, such concerns have hardly featured in campaigning for the general elections on Sunday. Instead, immediate debate has focused on themes such as law and order, foreigners and the enduring issue of Swiss exceptionalism – the pronounced feeling of being different to other European countries that has sustained the small, multinational and doggedly neutral state for centuries..." As you can see the Swiss government remove the focus on the tough issues at hand and divert the attnetion of the populace. It never fails!!!
