Switzerland has a direct democracy and they are doing perfectly fine.
They’re in many ways not the best example.
I would wager you have never been to Switzerland, or if you have, you never left the tourist traps to interact with the ‘real Swiss’.
I only lived there one year, but I can tell you right now, they are not ‘doing perfectly fine.’
Their pretty tourism industry hides some of the ugliest racism, faux-nationalism in the form of cantonal squabbling, sexism, anti-lgbt+, and a general dislike of anyone who does not conform exactly to their specific ways of living. Fuck Switzerland.
That greedy, amoral, terrible world citizen of a country is your example? Yikes. They’re “doing perfectly fine” because they rely upon others to provide their security for them while contributing nothing and happily work with the most evil regimes in the world so long as there’s money in it.
