Der Auslandschweizerrat, eigentlich für alle Auslandschweizer, aber nur wählbar für Mitglieder in Auslandsschweizer-Vereinen. Das wurde bereits mehrfach von Auslandschweizern moniert, weil das Wahlrecht limitiert wird.

Es sieht nicht so aus, als ob Bestrebungen vorhanden sind, dies zu ändern. Sind die Vereinsmitglieder die besseren Auslandschweizer? Der Auslandschweizerrat vertritt mich nicht, da ich von der Wahl ausgeschlossen bin. Dieses Wahlprozedere hilft der Glaubwürdigkeit des Rates nicht. Es bewirkt eher das Gegenteil.
