A referendum in Switzerland passed blocking the purchase of new fighter aircraft for their airforce.   

Careful what you wish for with these “direct democracy” votes.  Conservatives would set their hair on fire if the beatniks managed to get something like that passed here.  How many referenda would come out of Alberta and Saskatchewan promoting oil? 

Referenda are an idiotic idea.

Imagine the referenda demanding increased spending and lower taxes. Imagine the referenda demanding acting on climate change and cheap, plentiful gasoline. it's not workable.
