Swiss socialists want vote on fighter jet deal

The Local - Swiss socialists want vote on fighter jet deal

Why not have a referendum on every big plan? Well the costs alone sort of preclude that one. my pet hate is that not everybody votes and I think that they should be forced to vote by Law. There are postal votes for the sick and infirm.
Continually in the Uk we get people elected to Parliament who have nothing like a majority behind them as most people just don't vote. So in a fictional electoral region you get.........

Total possible votes 120,000
Total votes cast 40,000 so 80,000 don't like any candidate !!!!

Winner gets 33% 13,300
next gets 12,700
others get 14,000

Winners majority is tiny. He/she gets about 10% of all possible votes and 90% are against the Winner!!!
Yet they still get their seat in Parliament.
