> But Switzerland has a history of democratic and political participation that most countries do not have. Can't have a tradition without starting. > o begin with, it's very decentralized with every canton having their own constitution and their own way of doing things Growing up in Switzerland is quite funny where you have people from like 30min away, who literally have a totally different school system. Its kind of like the American system but in some ways cantons can do even more then states can in the US. The Swiss system being basically adopted from the US one but on a smaller scale. So you have cantons of 200k people that have the same power-level as California. > sortition That something I have not really considered much, I should study that some more. > Anyway given that you're in Switzerland you should see what they've proposed for the canton of Vaud with regards to these matters. Ill have to look into that. I know there is a secessionist movement where villages are moving from Bern (Bern was the war monger expansionist part of the Old Confederacy) to Vaud but that might be unrelated.
