are proposed by the parliament to change, there has to be a vote<br />
about it.<br />
- Fakultatives Referendum:<br />
If any other law changes, which doesn't underly any of the<br />
restrictions above, there is only one chance to get a vote about<br />
it: From the day on, a law has been accepted by parliament, any<br />
movement of people in switzerland has three months time to<br />
collect 50'000 approved signs of swiss citizens, to enforce a<br />
vote about it, otherwise it gets valid three months after<br />

B. Newspapers: I know, the "NZZ-Neue Zuercher Zeitung" is<br />
available in the USA. It's disadvantage is, it's written in<br />
german. It has all the major political discussions and the<br />
protocols of parliamentary sessions printed. It is influenced by<br />
the "Parti Radical Democratique/Freisinnig Demokratische Partei",<br />
which is a liberal party. It is the one party, which founded our<br />
Federative System, as it now is.<br />
C. Some interesting Facts about Switzerland:<br />
The Organisation of Switzerland into several "Kantone" had<br />
originally been made by Napoleon the Ist. With some smaller<br />
exceptions The political map is still the same as when Napoleon<br />
was here.<br />
* Our Constitution as it actually is, had massively been<br />
influenced by the Constitution of the USA.<br />
The major difference is: We don't have a powerful president,<br />
we have seven ministers, which rule together.<br />
Another major difference in our political life is:<br />
* We aren't used to have a single party ruling !<br />
We have four parties with this division of power:<br />
SVP (1 Minister), FDP (2), CVP (2), SP (2).<br />
SVP: Schweizerische Volks-Partei / Swiss people's party<br />
Traditional Party, on the right wing.<br />
FDP: Freisinnig Demokratische Partei / Free Democratic Party<br />
Liberal Party, centered.<br />
CVP: Christliche Volks-Partei / Christian people's party<br />
Liberal to Social Party, centered.<br />
SP: Sozialdemokratische Partei / Socialdemocratic Party<br />
Worker's Party, left.<br />
* This Formula is called the "Zauberformel" (magic formula).<br />
Therefore our government is not only representing about 51% of<br />
all voting people, but even around 90% of our people.
