Everybody mind.
That's why extremist and nationalist politics against europe have more and more votes.
But not sure it will be the good solution either.
We don't want a putin-like leader in europe.
Discussion
We dont have anyone remotely like that.
The french have an old 60's style Socialist, the Germans have a lesbian in a mixed race marriage and the UK has a guy that gives off slippery used car saleman vibes...
Not exactly the Mien kampf pool to dip from...🤣🤣
Then what do you have as perfect leader ?
swiss-style direct democracy along with federal structures is the solution if you ask me... then you don't need a "leader"... an efficient administrator would be enough... but of course this won't happen easily as it requires elites to give most power to the people
I do not believe the ideal form of governance has been invented and/or implemented yet.
You have some countries that get close, but still no cigar. I believe if humanity is to truly thrive we need to take inspiration from around the world. See what works and what does more harm than good Then apply new methodologies, philosophies, and moral idealologies that provide for maximum freedom and self reliance in harmony with minimal negative impact on nature to strike an ecological balance without too many sacrafices like the loony climate change activitists want. Finding the happy medium ground. With minimal interference from any form of governing bodies. If they are even determined to be necessary at that point.
This has been in the back of my head for many years asking myself one question. Could i ever invent something that truly works for everyone?
Your reply was twice unexpected, because :
- i thought you would reply me something like my leader is the best of the world... with some blabla around.
- i think the same and i am curious about the Swiss democracy structure that i take as an example of a possible progress for any other democracies. I don't think it is the perfect one, but it seems to be the one who give the most voice to people and respect their opinion and needs. You ever can open a referendum about some subject if you are enough people for that. It is just how it should be in other democracy.
And about centralized power in a hand of 1 man this is my opinion :

Thank you very much to show me they still exist good surprise and people here.
It is needed in this so rude "one voice" world.

yeah, i am also frequently wondering why some people - even freedom-oriented ones - have a rather positive opinion on authocratic governance forms such as dictatorships or monarchies.
besides the referendum system, the swiss model has an additional feature i like: the primate of politics. there are very few topics in which judges can overrule the people's decisions.
of course, the swiss model cannot be simply transferred to other countries. each nation has its own particularities. nonetheless, in my opinion, a democracy which does not allow its citizens to constantly control and in case necessary overrule its politicians by direct democracy, is not a complete democracy.
one thing that people tend to overlook: the suiss people did not get their political system for free, or at once. it was an incremental process during which a lot of people died in several waves of revolutionary uprisings. the ruling class conceded their power only under pressure and slice by slice to the people.
anyways.... nice to see that there are like-minded people around 😀😀😀
