more so than a monarchy

The Reason that the Swiss People have kept their govenment as functional as it is due to the Strong sence of National Unity that the population has

Indeed

National unity is most important in cases like these

I don't see why a swizerland would have more unity than say a Denmark or a Netherlands

Because it is a small manageable country

so are these two

That has also managed to stay neutral in most wars

How does that help national unity?

Prosperity enforces unity also

Dutch and danish also have prosperity..

Were the dutch and danish tested in wars?

got dragged into WWII

Aye, did they resist?

Other than that they stayed out of them

The Dutch yes, Danish not sure

*Had to have the Americans save them*

The danish didnt

Thats your proof of a lack of organic unity

So how does that make them less viable for democracy???

Because proof of true unity is tested only in wars

so the swiss aren't tested?

Prosperity grants unity for as long as prosperity is maintained

Yet they have the most democracy

Read the above

I did, it doesn't make sense

The swiss have always been prosperous

So have the dutch

I was talking of the danish

So the dutch can have more democracy than the danish?

Yes

lmao

They're practically the same country culturally

Different conditions and history

Nationalist Democracy

What would happen if they got regular referendums?

Why would it be so horrible?

Democracy can be nationalist

If done well

explain what would happen if denmark got more regular referendums

Why would that be bad
