I don’t like the suppression of protests in Switzerland. They are allowed if they don’t disturb the city life too much, but if they do they get disbanded by police with illegal brutality and then prosecuted and judged harshly by judges who clearly want to achieve an atmosphere of fear.
So that’s both executive and judicative that take laws in their own hands to silence protests.
And then our political finance laws are just a joke, where it’s easy to donate anonymously to parties or lobby groups to overwhelm political counterparts.
Sure, we’re a direct democracy, but capital and the establishment has found ways to stay in control. Still better than most other countries, but I still find things to complain.
