The US Fed, the Bank of Canada, etc., all practice Quntitative and Qualitative Lying. We all need the Swiss system. Just look at the appreciation of the Swiss Frank.
It is the result, as many other indicators, of superior fiscal and economic management. The US produces most of the theories that win Nobel Prizes in economics, the Swiss win the collective prizes generated by superior country management. Why the Swiss do it better?, it is because they have the Swiss Political System.
What is the difference? The Swiss by genius or by luck decided that the same people who raise families, manage the family income, pay their mortgages and car loans, are responsible workers, managers and business owners, are responsible neighbours and citizens, drive responsibly, etc., and who do not have to run for election ir reelection and are not high level politically appointes bureaucrats.
Ordinary peoplec are uniquely capable of making responsible decisions concerning critical issues, policies and laws in their towns, cities, cantons (similar more ir less to states or provinces but with much more autonomy on all issues). The results, for more than a century now, prove they are right.
What the Swiss people decided is to have the right to stop piliticians or push politicians regarding, laws, policies, issues. The Swiss people have the right and power and they exercise it 4 times each year voting from their homes to decide anything they consider important or controversial enough to be decided democratically by the voters directly.
They decide local, canton-state and national-federal issues but only by exception; most of the time they do not intervene, they let elected politicians alone with most executive and legislative work.
Of course, Swiss politicians know they can not behave like US, Canadian, French, Swedish, German or even Danish politicians.
The reason is obvious; the Swiss people can throw out anything piliticians do and can force politicians to do what the people want, not what the politicians or lobbies want.
In Switzerland the politicians know and that their job is to obey what the people democratically decide in one of the people initiated referendums.
They also know that they must always be in tune with the majority of the people. Now, Swiss politicianscare not dumb, they soon realized that to minimize the chances of a referendum trowing out a law or policy it would be better if the four major parties of left, right and center run rhe executive together. That is what they have been doing for decades.
In Switzerland the four parties in the executive, representing about 80% of voters govern together AS EQUALS.
Swiss elections do not have the drama of other democracies. The reason is simple; the politicians have aclot less power.
One huge benefit is also that Swiss lobbies like big banks, big pharma, big industry, big food, big weapons know that no matter how much money they “donated” to parties or politicians, politicians can not deliver, only the people can deliver.
There are other benefits. If the US had the Swiss system the current controversy about Jewish support for Israel and accusations that the Jewish lobbies control the US would not happen.
If the US had the Swiss system it is the people who would have democratically decided the level of support for Israel.
It is likely the US would have not supported what Israel is doing in Gaza but the huge benefit if there would not be massive discredit of US politicians and, much more dangerous for Israel and American Jews, the current backlash about both which threatens to bring a tragedy for Israel and Jews, at least against the militant Sionists including Jewish billionaires who have put their hard earned and deserved money in the hands of lobbies and politicians who, in the law of unintended consequences could wreck the billionaires, many other Jews and Isrsel itself.
There is a lot more good stuff about the Swiss system, like higher standard of living, privately funded and managed universal healrh care and best in World, much better control of immigration, far more unity in spite of many more political parties, four founding peoples, four official languages and on and on. Go out, buy yourself a bar of Swiss chocolate and munch on it while you use your smartphone to get a taste for Swiss democracy; it tastes even better than Swiss chocolate.
