Re: Democracy taken too far?

I have always thought the Swiss system of uber-democracy is a good thing, but every now and then I am thinking that there *surely* are times when this is infringing on the rights or freedom of others.

This morning this came up, which will surely affect companies like Pilatus to a massive degree. I do not want to start a debate on arms exports specifically, rather want to hear opinions about the concept of "democracy run amok".
It is a symbolic gesture. Nothing will really change. So, if the people of the land want to take one, so be it.
