The Uncertainty of Decisionmaking in a Direct Democracy
This paper describes how democracy means government by the people, direct or representative. Most western countries are in fact ruled by the people – some more directly, some less. Perhaps the most direct democracy in existence has been developed in Switzerland. This paper gives some indications with regard to the decision-making in the field of traffic and transport in Switzerland.
