#096 - Samuel Kullmann - Why Switzerland Works and Britain Doesn't


Listen Later

Swiss politician Samuel Kullmann joins The Peter McCormack Show for a deep dive into Switzerland's unique model of governance and why it offers a powerful alternative to Britain's broken system. Kullmann breaks down the power of direct democracy, the importance of decentralised government, and how a nation run by part-time politicians with real-world skin in the game avoids the corruption and incompetence plaguing Westminster.

Drawing a sharp contrast, he compares the stable, prosperous, citizen-led approach of Switzerland with the top-down, bureaucratic failure that is driving the UK's decline and wealth exodus. This is a lesson in how real democracy works, a blueprint for political accountability, and a vision of a future where power truly belongs to the people.
