Switzerland Is by far the most politically stabled nation

First, I will assume that the Resolution should read: "Switzerland is by far the most politically stable nation." Political stability has nothing to do with protecting freedoms, allowing for change, etc. Political stability only means that the government is not at risk of collapsing, is able to maintain rule of law, can effectively maintain peaceful populace conditions, etc. In order to win this debate, I must show that Switzerland is NOT the most politically stable nation. I will do this by comparing Switzerland to other countries that are MORE politically stable than Switzerland. If I can prove that any country is more stable than Switzerland, I win. A. Vatican City is a country that is more stable than Switzerland. 1)Vatican City is recognized as a sovereign state under international law 2)Vatican City has an election process capable of effectively handling emergencies such as untimely death of leaders. The attempted assassination of John Paul II was handled effectively by Vatican City. 3)The pope is the last absolute monarch in Europe. The pope has power over every political aspect in Vatican City. This absolute control leads to political stability, as there are no battles over power or fighting over who has authority to do what. Any power disputes are settled by the ultimate political authority of the pope. 4)The legitimacy of the authority of the pope is never in question in Vatican City. Every citizen of Vatican City is a devout Catholic, most are clergy. Catholics believe that the pope is the highest spiritual authority after God and that the Holy Spirit guides the electoral process into picking a legitimate pope. Essentially the pope is seen as divinely appointed, thus the pope has absolute political control and absolute political legitimacy (in the eyes of the citizens of the country). 5)There have been no significant political upheavals since the Vatican City became an official country with the signing of the Lateran Treaty in 1929 6)The political life of Vatican City is virtually non-existent. Issues like immigration, tax cuts, gay rights, etc. DO NOT EXIST in Vatican City. There aren't hot button topics. Even if there were, the ultimate authority of the pope would mean that the issue would be resolved without controversy. How the Vatican City compares to Switzerland: 1)The very fact that "harsh criticism" exists within the Swiss government indicates at least some degree of stability. The fact that someone was "ousted from parliament" also indicates that there is political discontent within the Swiss government. The Vatican City does not have any of this political discontent. Without political discontent, there is no political instability 2)There are a variety of political ideologies within the Swiss populace. This means that citizens within the Swiss government will always disagree with certain politicians or policies. There will always be citizens who want change or want to dramatically alter the course of government. Vatican City is 100% homogenous with regard to political ideology. Every citizen of the Vatican City is not only Catholic but an extremely devote Catholic and thus has political ideology in line with Catholicism. The fact that everyone in Vatican City has the same ideology means that political instability is virtually impossible. A final note: I do not consider myself to be Catholic and the theological legitimacy of the papacy or the Church or Christianity in general have no effect on my argument.
