  1. "Best" in massive air quotes Switzerland gets away with not suffering from many issues of modern democracy because of two reasons the first is its population, and second is because of its difficulty in attaining citizenship Switzerland is able to practice a style of direct democracy because of the low population it has, very similar to Iceland in that regard Much of Switzerland is very rural and undeveloped given its geography, so it amounts to a low population density Switzerland is also notoriously hard to access, it doesn't accept refugees, it doesn't allow jus soli, and it doesn't allow for automatic citizenship just because you have long term residency either The citizens of Switzerland have to vote to include you and your application for Swiss citizenship for consideration

  2. ​ @stefanoberli5920 I don't recommend a different system for Switzerland because it works for Switzerland exclusively But you can't have a Swiss style of direct democracy in the US for example due to sheer numbers 300 million estimated population makes it impossible
