Editor, The Times:
We just received the Mar. 7 issue of the Clearwater Times and found your excellent article “Swiss voters limit fat cat pay and bonuses,” March 7 issue) about the referendum we had in Switzerland.
Congratulations! The political system in Switzerland is based on a direct democracy, which means the government in all three levels (communal, provincial and federal) has to ask the citizens for all important businesses.
That makes the system a bit complicated and lazy, but it’s the only way, every citizen has a chance to decide over public affairs.
Again, our congratulations for this carefully investigated article.
Fritz and Ursula Schaer
