If it truly is equality we are striving for I await to see what happens on International Mens day. I'm going to guess, £30 voucher perhaps? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything what he is doing undermines democracy. I agree with you on that. I think however he merely took a decision when he was 18 and decided it was the easiest way to justify not bothering a f**k about some of the batshit crazy suggestions that come through from their system. 1 hour ago, beefybake said: Switzerland only granted women the vote in around 1970, as I recall. A wee racist, misogynistic country ...... As late as the early 90’s in a couple of the cantons, if I remember correctly... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonS Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 8 hours ago, Ross. said: Probably, the c**t. Surprisingly not. His view is that direct democracy here is the closest thing to actual democracy that exists, and that it’s his civic duty to support any initiative that gets to the National vote stage in order to protect it. Undereducated eejits often think rule by referenda is the best form of democracy, but that's not democracy, that's majoritarianism. You shouldn't be forced to go along with the majority unless it's essential. If women all got together and voted to eradicate men, that would not make it ok. 2 hours ago, beefybake said: Switzerland only granted women the vote in around 1970, as I recall.

The most striking thing that I recall from my time in Switzerland was that there was some kind of law that you couldn't cut your grass on a Sunday if it made a noise. It was on a level with the chain up the swings uber- Presbyterians in the Western Isles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works well for them but I think is often somewhat misunderstood outside of Switzerland. While it may feel like it, not everything is actually decided by a referendum. You can however, come up with an idea you feel should be looked at, and if you can garner enough support(100k independently verified supporters) have it put to a referendum. After that, in theory, it’s in the statutes, but in reality it means another decade of the political classes looking at it and fitting it into what is already there, in most cases somewhat watered down and far less meaningful than the referendum question suggested. 9 hours ago, Cosmic Joe said: The most striking thing that I recall from my time in Switzerland was that there was some kind of law that you couldn't cut your grass on a Sunday if it made a noise.

I’ve heard many variations of it(Can’t flush your toilet at night being the most common) but it’s not actually true. There will be catches in most residential leases covering nuisance noise, but unless you take the piss(and cutting the grass at 3am on a Sunday morning would probably be considered that, though it’s nothing like what you suggest is the law), they won’t ever really matter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it may feel like it, not everything is actually decided by a referendum. I know, I was meaning more generally. Referendums on things like the burka are particularly bad. I don't really give a shit how many people are against it, you don't ban basic freedoms like what you can wear without an incredibly good reason, and in this case there's almost no reason. It's too easy to convert "I don't like it" into law and the rights of minorities shouldn't be dependent on whether the majority are willing to let them have it.

I'd like a convention of some sort about the times you can cut your grass, the noise is constant through any nice Sunday. Even if there could be a couple of hours of peace it would make a difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SANTAN Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I don't agree with limiting personal freedoms - People should be banned from cutting grass on a Sunday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
