Switzerland is the most democratic country in the world
Because:
- People have the right to a referendum and initiative at various levels of government: federal, cantonal and municipal.
- Citizens vote on changes to the constitution.
- Federal administration is in the hands of SEVEN individuals, and not ONE person (a president, king, or prime minister) with her or his whims.
"The autonomous man is of necessity an anarchist." Robert Paul Wolff, "On Violence,"
