So basically, it is not a terrible idea like you said, but something that will work(and in my opinion, extremely well) in a highly developed society? And considering how well they are thriving, obviously it is not detrimental at all? None of your concerns have happened in Switzerland, quite the opposite. I don’t know what you mean by minorities, but in Zürich a third of the population aren’t even Swiss citizens. In Switzerland, everything is extremely decentralized. Additionally, Switzerland is not a homogeneous culture - the differences between Vaud, Zürich, Ticino etc. are massive. All I know is Switzerland is a wonderful place, and I believe it is because they never really had a king, but ruled their country together.

> something that will work(and in my opinion, extremely well) in a highly developed society I don't see the point in changing what I said. I said I think most systems can look good if there's enough money sloshing around. My point is - e.g. in the US, who also never had a king, most people live in cities. If there were direct democracy then those people could vote for very pro-city policies, and neglect rural. Given there's representational democracy, that's much more difficult, and national rules need to be more balanced.
