Winner Take All or Splitting the Difference: Lessons from Switzerland | Capital Commentary

Winner Take All or Splitting the Difference: Lessons from Switzerland | Capital Commentary by David T. Koyzis.  MGB: In looking at basic reform, I would suggest regional government, with each region having roughly the same electoral voting strength, a regional Vice President and two Senators from reach region.  Much of domestic government, as well as domestic civil and military spending, would occur at this level, with the national executive (elected by the Vice Presidents and Senators) dealing with diplomatic and military issues, monetary and larger fiscal policy (mainly advising the regions on taxing and spending levels), protecting civil rights at all levels of government and industry and the advancement of science - from building a better electric car to space to medical research.  The POTUS would be selected every two years while RVPs and Senators would have six year terms, with all having a twelve year limit.
