For me the EU is known as the Union Européene, do I have to go around and demand that each English forum expands EU to European Union? We're not talking about smaller, national agencies, but large organizations with easily searchable names. | |

| Dec 12, 2018 at 9:41 | comment | added | Thern | @indigochild I see what you mean. However, to do this one should first define what compatibility means in this case. As the question was asked originally, it sounded like any limitations of the possible results of ballots would mean an incompatibility with the Swiss direct democracy (the idea being that the people should be able to vote for virtually anything). In this case, you don't need academic rigor to show that indeed a membership in the EU will limit these outcomes. | |

| Dec 11, 2018 at 14:03 | comment | added | DonFusili | I agree with indigochild, this does not provide an answer to the question as asked. That's more because the question as asked is a bad one, though. | |
| Dec 11, 2018 at 4:46 | comment | added | indigochild | OP asks for a rigorous or academic exploration of the compatibility between EU membership and the Swiss democratic system. Can you back this up with a link to such a piece of work? | |
