One thing I do not understand; howcome Switzerland, where they make all controversial and critical decisions, including changing the constitution by binding referendums initiated by any group of seven people or union or political association or party, or lobby, etc., or required by law ans whose results must be implemented after the democratic popular vote, and where the decisions by the people can not be overturned or modify by the executive, the legislature or even the Supreme Court, is way better governed country, more stable, more prosperous, etc., than ANY country in which the politicians or judges make all controversial or key decisions?
Why the number of Nobel prize winners in economics, great business schools, etc., a country has does not make such country the most prosperous, more fiscally responsable, with the highest take home pay, more economic and political stability, etc.?
Howcome Switzerland, with water only as abundant natural beats the crap out of the US and even countries like Norway who are swimming in oil, and even every Scandinavian country, never mind Canada, all orher counteies in Europe larger or smaller, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Australia etc., and all authoritarian regimes?
Howcome the Swiss do that in spite of four official national lamguages and 12 etno-religious-linguist groups is far more united and politically stable and prosperous than any country with far less diversity?
I know the answer now; the Swiss have known it for more than 150 years.
The secret is that in Switzerland the voters of all those grups make all key or controversial decisions in their city, their state and at the federal national level. The Swiss keep the elected politicians on a tight leash and, a result, all lobbies are politically castrated.
Americans, Argentinians, Australians, British, Brazilians, Canadians, Danish, French, Germans, Indians, Israelis, Italians, Japanese, Mexicans, Norwegians, South Koreans, Spanish, Taiwanese and all other democracies need to put the voters first, politicians second and lobbies castrated.
The authoritarian regimes of China, Russia and all Moslem and Arab states need to get rid of their inhuman regimes that put their people clearly behind domestic animals; Dogs are allowed to bark, Donkeys to bray, Horses to neigh
Camels to grunt,
Cows to moo
Sheep and Goats to bleat, Cats to meow, Parrots even to speak yet the people of all those countries can not speak up.
