Switzerland is the only system in which the rich, the powerful, and the people are truly prepared for the realities of the media age in the 21st century. Not having direct democracy is not an option anymore.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.
Do you really think no other country ever modified an internal border?
(And it wasn’t completely peaceful: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_de_lib%C3%A9ration_jurassien)
“the rich and powerful yielded”? What are you talking about? One village changed from one canton to another. Hardly earth-shattering stuff.Â
I mean, most places have gotten their independence usually.
How is it affecting the school? All the curriculum suddenly switching to French?
Dude what, its an internal border chage. If anything there aint a country that cares so much about internal borders like switzerland. There isnt a reson for violance or for any „rich and powerful“ to yield(cause there arent any and they wouldnt really care).
Editorialising the news story much?
It’s only Jan 1 but I think this will be one of the dumbest things I’ll read in 2026.
