Imo Switzerlands political system is simply superior to all others. The only real democracy.

I wonder how many of them actually are legit tough. Here in Sweden we ignored some of the results since the people voted “wrong”.

The only referendum in belgium almost caused it to go into civil war, safe to say we won’t be doing any of that referendum stuff anymore.

The number for Hungary is incorrect. There have been 8 referendums so far in the history of the modern state. Before that, only one more, the 1921 Sopron plebiscite. So **9** alltogether.
What all these maps get wrong are *”national consultations”* these are a campaign tool employed by the governing party, 14 or 15 of them by this point *(old ass map op)*, which are surveys disguised as referendums, featuring propagandistic leading questions, void of any obligations, and using money stolen from public funds to use in party propaganda. **These are NOT referenda.**
**The country has had 9 referenda up to 2026, 8 of which have been held in the contemporary state.**

I would like to know more, if anyone can share.
What are the specific lists for the tiny numbers? (I hope something wild in at least one.)
Why so many in Slovakia and only one in Czech Republic?
Why so many in Azerbaijan and Slovenia, seemingly in contrast to their neighbors/similar countries?

So what? France hasn’t had one since 05, and that last referendum’s results were swept under the rug

Okay so Czechia is a bit misleading – there was only one general referendum in 2003 that decided whether or not we would join the EU. This was done through an ad hoc constitutional law since our legal system doesn’t actually contain a general rule for general referendums. The constitution does guarantee the right to hold general referendums to some extent: Art. 2 §2 states: “Article 2
(2) A constitutional law may stipulate when the people exercise state power directly.”
Our legal system, however, does allow for regional referendums (similar to Kanton level referendums in Switzerland) and also local (district) referendums which take place pretty often.
