Continuation….there is the vote federally, by canton, by municipal plus the referendums never ending on soap for example ….the voter turnout is approximately 22% which is nothing and the on one occasion, municipal..we ended up with a communist mayor, voter turnout was zilch .

So as you can see there is no golden guideline. Interesting to live in another country’s direct democracy versus a variation on the theme.

Still makes sense for foreigners not to participate.
