The world news are bad.

European governments are unable to control the financial crisis. American politicians are fighting to death for power. Africans are unable to overcome the famine in Somalia and Kenya.

Everyone is fighting to retain privileges accumulated over the past decades instead of trying to solve problems together.

Here in Europe, everyone expects a major economic crisis, but the leaders of the European Union are unable to agree on a quick fix , each preferring to defend a selfish policy, forgetting the common good.

Even my country, after struggling years after years with success for a balanced budget, while being one of the few countries in the world with a booming economy, is struggling against speculators seeking to save all of their assets by taking refuge in the Swiss money. With a such strong currency, our exporters can no longer fight successfuly against their competitors in the Euro zone and the crisis is spreading to my country.

Yet all these difficulties could be resolved within a few years. That would require that each country gives up some of its sovereignty in favor of a new agreement, restating its finances by raising taxes and reducing the expenses of its administration.

The citizens of Europe or even of USA should learn from the Swiss.

Our constitution allows us to propose our own laws to the parliament and to force MPs to refer to the people. The citizens have than to vote on such proposals and make the decision by their votes.

Unfortunately, we are the only ones in the world with such a system.

Another difference between Switzerland and other countries: much of our MPs are not professionals. They are citizens like everyone else, practicing a profession and being politicians only "part time".

Does anybody of you want to live in our country ? Unfortunately, it's not that easy. We have also here a party that fights against foreign immigration, especially against foreigners without identity papers or without private means.

Nobody is perfect !
