Our swiss democracy certainly is better (and might be, depending on criteria, even older than the US one), but it's certainly not perfect.

We've got a lot of the same problems as the USA; tough generally in lesser extent, since we've got some more safeguards built in. (Like: A ruling council of 7 people which serves also as cabinet, instead of a president who can choose his own cronies as cabinet).
