Untitled The Swiss Example of Government the executive policies party constitution view the guestbook sign the guestbook articles home contact us the convention Switzerland has long been regarded and respected as a stable and prosperous country. They have one of the highest standards of living on earth.
Unemployment is always low and their social services are very generous to the unemployable.
They have a tiny civil service and some of the lowest taxes on earth. Clearly that is not the case. Switzerland is one of the best examples to be found of true direct-democracy at work. All major decisions effecting the country are put to referendum. The federal government of Switzerland has very little power and only deals with issues that effect the entire nation such as foreign affairs and finance.
