The world is polarized, divided and collapsing because there are no political system in any nation-states (in any but one) that are joining the best of the left and the best of the right, in other words, creating actual solutions that work for EVERYONE from the bottom-up, precisely defined by the PEOPLE with orderly referendums, solutions that promote meritocracy and that actually work for everyone in way or the other, that can be paid, are economical, low debt, long-term, etc...
Trump won't do what you want him to do, Kamala even less. Milei will reach a point where he will be wrong. Bukele probably already is getting there.
Because they simply don't have the mechanisms. There are no mechanisms for them to represent both the short and long term. How can the people tell Trump what you think is important in short and long term? With protests? Screaming more? Screaming less? There are no mechanisms to serve the people, especially in the long term. How can they precisely know what the people want? What's measuring and defining that? There's nothing measuring that with precision, process and order.
We need better leaders (and culture) too sure but most of all we need BETTER systems.
And that system until now IS the Swiss model. The Swiss model has been working perfectly since 1848. Switzerland is the richest country in the world per capita. Neutral, peaceful, not even part of Nato.
The Swiss model:
- People vote on about 16 referendums 3 times per year. All kinds of referendums. Stuff like taxes (they often reject tax raises, taxes are very low in Switzerland), if they should build a new statue at a municipal level, public transit, what can be taught in school, everything, etc, etc.
- People's Veto Power: In Switzerland the people can reject ANY law at the federal, cantonal and municipal level. On a federal level they need 50k signatures for that law to go to referendum. Which is nothing compared to the population.
The US doesn't have the People Veto Power at the federal level. Switzerland does. If the US had this veto power, there would be no wars for example, because wars would be vetoed by the people.
- Federalism: In Switzerland the cantons have independent constitutions with independent courts, education, and police.
- Open Lists (Panachage): Voters can choose candidates from any party in elections.
- People's Initiatives: Citizens propose laws with 100,000 signatures, leading to a referendum at any level. Meaning anybody can create new laws.
- Constitutional Referendums: All constitutional changes require a public referendum. The US has not nothing like this.
- Public Recalls: Elected officials can be removed through recall elections.

This is the most voluntaryist and libertarian system created.
- Corporate Tax Rates: Switzerland offers highly competitive corporate tax rates as low as 11.9%, making it an attractive location for businesses seeking tax efficiency.
- Low Income Tax: Personal income tax can be as low as 10% in cantons like Zug, benefiting individuals with average salaries.
- Personal Income Tax: Swiss personal income tax rates range between 22% to 45%, varying by canton.
- Value-Added Tax (VAT): Switzerland has one of the lowest VAT rates in Europe at 7.7%, benefiting consumers and businesses.
