We should never be afraid to rethink democratic institutions! An once-in-a-lifetime honour to be interviewed by Switzerland’s legendary people’s magazine L‘ILLUSTRÉ. I had the chance to talk about my research, my work @unil.bsky.social, the rural-urban divide through my own lens as a firstgen etc.!

Ironic institutional design here, but far better than the voters approving mandated spending that elected representatives then have to fund.
Show PostIn Swiss direct democracy, voters can say YES to a new constitutional provision, only to say NO later to the law implementing it. For example, in 2024, voters approved a 13th monthly pension payment for retirees. Now the proposal to fund it by increasing VAT is likely to be rejected in a referendum

It's hard not to see a pattern: The first polls on upcoming Swiss direct democratic proposals in November reveal striking gender differences: women are much more in favour of banning loud fireworks (75% vs. 60%) and much less in favour of facilitating the export of military weapons (31% vs. 55%).
