This article covers how Switzerland is the leading country in referendums, which is submission of an issue of public importance to the direct vote of the electorate. This will make it so its cantons all have democratic governments and its people are free. Voters could choose whoever they want without any fear of repercussion. Usually people in a canton would vote all together for one choice. This would make Switzerland one of the most freest and liberty filled nations in the world.
I am very envious of the Swiss people now. They have the option to opt out of anything, so if something they don't like comes along, then they can get rid of that.That is truly fantastic. I wish that I could at least have visited Switzerland and its beautiful scenery. Having political freedom is one of the best gifts you as a citizen could ever ask for.
This article is about geopolitics. I'd say this article shows how much political freedom its citizens get.Something other countries don't have unfortunately. Everyone in Switzerland I presume would want to have power in the say of the matter, so voting referendums are a huge plus to that. Also, Switzerland should be a model for all countries who are struggling with democratic ideals right now because Switzerland is the prime example of the free nation.
