Chính trị Thụy Sĩ thế đấy
trưng cầu dân ý ở thụy sĩ không phải lựa chọn giữa 2 thái cực hoàn toàn trái ngược nhau, mà chỉ là chọn giữa đề xuất thay đổi mới và giữ nguyên trạng (mà thôi)...

And now it’s becoming clear why almost all popular initiatives (sáng kiến) are rejected (bị từ chối). If the initiative had a obvious chance (cơ hội hiển nhiên) of being approved, the parliament (quốc hội) would introduce the necessary legislation on its own. From this point of view the small number of successful initiatives is not a sign of a system malfunction (sự cố), but rather a proof that the system is functioning the way it is expected to.
...Another safety measure is that Swiss referenda (trưng cầu dân ý) are, in their essence, not polarizing (phân cực). In referendum you are never asked to decide between two extremes, between, say, pro-life and pro-choice, but rather between the initiative proposal and the status quo. Voting against is always a safe and neutral option. It doesn’t necessarily mean that you are not sympathetic to the spirit of the initiative. You may just think it’s going too far, or maybe you like some aspects of it but don’t like some other.
