Switzerland About To Vote On Minaret Ban

[Furunculus]

Try checking out voter turnout before you make such claims.

If they were truly satisfied and the system was efficient, then surely 53% wouldn't be considered a "very high turnout"...? Voter turnout in Norway is stable at around 75%, btw....

Sorry, but I won't look up to a system that half a nation doesn't even care about.

and yet they are such a happy and contented bunch:

and the Swiss seem to have a very low perception of corruption:

and again; it doesn't matter what you think about the deficiencies of the Swiss political system, because you ain't Swiss, and they as it happens seem to feel they live a blessed life compared to other nations.
