It's what happens when decisions are based on populism. Views are easily expressed but have no depth.
Decisions based on populism can have a number of negative consequences. One problem with populism is that it often involves appealing to the emotions and prejudices of the public, rather than relying on facts and evidence to make decisions. This can result in policies and decisions that are not well thought out and may not be in the best interests of the public. Additionally, populist leaders may be more interested in gaining and maintaining power than in governing effectively, which can lead to corruption and abuses of power. Finally, populism often involves pitting one group of people against another, which can create divisions and conflicts within a society.

Switzerland has one of the wealthiest and most educated populations in the world, which reduces the risk of extremist populism
No, what eliminates that risk is that the population rules already. If there's a controversial issue (like whether to allow the building of minarets) they have a vote. They voted against minarets, so no minarets. That's it, end of.
If they want a referendum, they get it. HYUFD would do well to consider that.
Then again, the Swiss can't join the EU.
Despite the fact that the political leaders etc are 100% in favour.
This is because, to make EU law "untouchable", when it is adopted into national law, in the Swiss case it would require placing the adopted laws beyond the power of referenda. Which would, itself require a referendum on changing the Swiss constitution.

I want to lose my bet on France….
Come on England!
Alternating yells, cries and wails of "Down with England!" "Warm Beer Sucks!! "Up Your Fair Lady!!!"
And singing "La Marseillaise" led by Macklamore accompanied by Kris Novoselic and Kenny G!!!!
Edit - not really.
EDIT - Actually, I'm rooting for England in this match . . . solely out of PB solidarity . . .
