What is your opinion on Switzerland, the only country (as far as I know) where people can actually vote about important stuff (as opposed to merely chosing their masters who then make all the choices)?
Ballot initiatives are also a thing in California, and while they introduce an interesting and often beneficial aspect to our way of doing things, most laws are still made by the legislature, which makes the way the legislature is appointed very important. I’d have to do more research before I can comment on Switzerland.

Not sure if you saw these LW articles about Switzerland: 1, 2, 3.
