"you’re not free or in a democracy. " Depends. People could vote against emergency laws now, but since most people are ok with that mechanism, it is democratic. And I say that as someone who is not ok with those laws. But I can accept that the majority thinks otherwise. And in general, switzerland with their tradition of direct democracy and consensus is certainly more democratic than most other states.
