Switzerland

To stop after passing laws in Parliament Wave (veto), it first needs 50,000
signatures,
at 5 Mill. Voters within 18 months. This is called the Switzerland referendum. There are also prescribed (mandatory) referendums.
To bring a private law application, one first needs 100,000 signatures of support. After that, no participation is required for voting.
This initiative is also called Volksgesetzgebung (People's legislation) and is only provided for constitutional amendments.
A counter-proposal is mostly a
dilution
of the initiative, drafted by the Parliament.
When direct counter-proposal (or more than one), then the people can not accept one or two
two
amendments.
When multiple tie breaker question via "decided" is, which is the implementation of those proposals.
With the
adoption
of the people but then again the possibility to tilt the law in a referendum

Although 98% of all Swiss laws are passed by Parliament in
accordance
to the cultural identity of the country's four languages defined largely through direct democracy.
It is up to 4 times a year nationally
ballots
since
1848.
In almost all major shops citizens
have their say
at the ballot box, thus acting as a part of the state and also a large part of the policy makers themselves choose (judges, prosecutors and key government officials are elected directly by the voters at regular intervals). The voting culture is not limited to the big politics, but goes down to the smallest levels - Cantons, civil parishes, syndicates, also cantonal borders. Smaller communities without Parliament can be described as genuine direct democracies. Most cantons have more direct democratic elements than the State.
In an
emergency decree,
as well as other regulations, an example of the 68 billion for the recapitalization of UBS on the financial crisis, neither Parliament nor the people can protest.
In constitutional amendments and urgent posited without constitutional basis, and on certain international issues requires not only a majority of the votes cast, a majority of the cantons
majority of the cantons.
Disclosure
of part-time jobs and political contributions to searches in vain so far in Switzerland.
But plans have now
04/11
treaties
before the people are brought.
This prepares the
Upper
worries.
Other
abuses,
such as judges dependence, deselect the federal councils, lack of
transparency
to show improvement.
Legislative initiative without a constitution intervention is overdue.
Centralization needs often go out of state institutional
authority.
A summary of the political system of Switzerland can be found at the Swiss State
Government
or, as the below
image
shows Markus Jud.
With anonymous, online
registrations
organized by the Swiss Federal Council but now has a problem.
The participation of citizens working even though the National Council on party lists and the Council of States on the majority voting (the individual candidates are mostly supported by the parties) can be selected.
But you can also delete,
cumulate
or
vote-splitting.
A resolution usually occurs only in effect when the referendum deadline has expired. The high number of votes promotes a proper handling of the matter and does not protest vote.
The
foreign policy
is dominated by the Federal Council.
An example of local polls can be found in the
Glarus
community.
The vote will take place on the first Sunday in May. The voters will meet in the ring on the fence Course (also called Landsgemeindeplatz) right in the main town of Glarus. The fellow-countryman opened and directed by the rural community.
From world all models of democracy direct democracy is practiced without representative share only in the two communities Glarus and Appenzell Innerrhoden. Representatives will be used only for administrative purposes and the external representation of the Swiss Council of States.
Meanwhile, people want to vote by mail in Lucerne, rather than to expose in a public place.
This
obviously
causes a tenfold increase in participation.
Also, the right feel and
hospitality
can drive up participation.
Particularly successful are the
initiatives
of civil society organizations, ahead of the opposition and the government.

The Association
Verein für direkte Demokratie und Selbstversorgung
cares since
2004
to the development of direct democracy in German-speaking Switzerland.
2012
so many people's initiatives and referendums were
filed,
with the Federal Chancellery, which ultimately did not materialize as never before.
Also,
community meetings
are at risk. Reason is politicians who want to seize power ansich, unclear laws and creeping bureaucracy.
