Ireland is the second most centralised country in the OECD: its counties and regions are (politically) very weak by international standards. Across government - whether it's health, housing, water or immigration - powerful arms of national government set the agenda with little room for independent local decision-making.

Democratic Densification with Street Plans

In our previous video, we explored some of the factors behind Ireland’s housing shortage. In this video, we looked at a concept called Street Plans, which allows residents to democratically opt in to development and benefit from the surplus created. To see how a Street Plan might work, we chose one neighbourhood in Dublin and designed a model to demonstrate what it would look like. If you like ...
The battle between NIMBYism and YIMBYism

The battle between NIMBYism and YIMBYism
As a Swiss I'll tell you what one of the most underrated features of our political system is: The fact that our national executive is elected by the parliamemt and NOT by the people. This may sound counter intuitive for a country that prides itself on its "direct democracy" but the important upside is that this way we dont have "presidential elections" that are just marketing campaigns full of lies like in the USA (no offense)
except there isn't a supply shortage... there are more houses per person in Scotland than there have ever been. since the lifting of rent controls in Scotland homes have gotten smaller faster, not larger. your ideology does not match reality, real world evidence shows rent controls can be successful when implemented correctly.
we are not in EU and are rich. explained
10:00 bern is not the capitol but rather the federal city
Moved to Bern from Cork 9 months ago. Love your videos - really great to get an understanding of why generally things are so much better run here. Public transport here is just amazing and it makes me sad knowing how far behind Ireland is.
Welcome! I am glad you seem to like it so far. You will see, it is far from a paradise, e.g. it can be quite difficult to find friends. Just put in the effort, and it usually turns out well. All the best!
Switzerland is to Germany what Ireland is to the UK
ask the Swiss what is their immigrants quota? because they have none
~30% foreign residents and ~50% with some kind of migration background, including the naturalized. Plus 4.5% foreign cross-border commuters. More than any other european country, except the micro nations of Luxembourg, Monaco, Lichtenstein, Andorra and Vatican City. In other words, about the percentage of Australia/New Zealand, or twice the one of the US...
Finally some one who can explain, how the swiss system works. However I have to disagree with the possibility to get our System to Ireland and working. It took us Centuries to build ours and the People used to it, it was an act of will.
Thanks for the insight. Yes the applicability to Ireland is questionable, but interesting to explore nonetheless
A couple of decades ago, when a part of the swiss population wanted to form their own state or canton Jura within Switzerland, it wasn't enough to ask politely. They blew up electric transmission lines until they got their way. Nevertheless, this is considered today as a successfull and peacefull democratic process, all agree about.
It is the first time that I see such a detailed and honest comparative analysis of two countries, and being Swiss I can tell that your comments are correct for Switzerland. Really valuable video.
The extreme federalism of Switzerland has negative sides. An excessive bureaucracy, a greater potential for the establishment of little friends networks (everybody knows everybody and one hand washes the other) complex coordination betwewen the three structural levels, wastefulness. In many ways moving from one canton in Switzerland to another is akin to moving from one country to another. For example, the Swiss AHV (Social Security) is a federal program but is administered on the cantonal level. Each canton has its own Social Security agency that deals with the part of the system located in that canton. This means there are 26 Social Security agencies in addition to the federal one. An other undesirable trait of the system is that the premiums for the compulsory health insurance vary excessively from one canton to the other. They might double if you just move a few km away to another canton. Also in terms of the tax structure the extreme federalism has led to excesses in that muncicipalities and cantons have entered into a tax competition where they attempt to underbid each other. While Switzerland's strong federalism can and should - in its basics outline - be adopted much more widely, care must be taken to avoind the excesses the system may cause.
Thanks for the perspective
I enjoyed the video! However, the political left in Switzerland is attempting to undermine many of these positive aspects you mentioned. For instance, there is a shift of power from the municipalities to the cantons, and then to the federal state (and from there might even get shifted to the EU.) Additionally, full-time politicians (mostly situated on the left) are introducing a tremendous amount of new proposals for every legislation at a national level, making it challenging for part-time politicians to fulfill their duties...
Switzerland lacks parish pump politicans
It is well run, like a machine, and like a machine it has no soul. It is a soulless dump where the people only concern themselves with themselves and seek money money money. I hate this country so much and cannot wait to emigrate.
*confederation
I would love this system in the UK as a whole!
That map at 0:15 is hilarious.
7:39 I have been to this shop before 😏
It’s an ethnically homogeneous society.
Very good video, our swiss system is surely working well for us but I doubt that it would be for the Irish. The Island is ideal for centralization...i think it makes more sense to better a central system than to decentralize. Irish unification would be another story since Dublin is within reach of Belfast.
i am from Graubünden, ask me anything
People really get a lot of things wrong about rich Switzerland. It's not all cheese and direct democracy and happiness. 25% of the votes go to xenophob, former farmer party that is just afraid of everything and very very conservative. The state does not have a proper industrial policy nor does it care about modernization&digitalization. Mind that postal mail is still the standard way of.communicating and bureaucracy is very rusty. The differences between the countryside and the "bigger cities" are huge.
Where you state cantons are similar to counties, I feel the word state is more accurate, as in states within a nation. Regional groups of towns and cities are grouped into separate regions, more akin to counties within the states.
As a Swiss national I have to say there is not a single wrong information in the video. Very well researched.
more centralization = worse outcomes
Why did we get so targetted in Ireland?? lol
Switzerland is well run because it is mot run !
Nice video. One remark: things move / change slowly in switzerland - that can be seen both positively or negatively.
Thanks
Laundering the worlds money to screw over the countries where the indivigulas or cooperation should be paying their fair share in taxes helps
that's what Ireland is doing with corporations
Yes. Decentralise! Towns, communities and counties should make way more decisions for themselves
Switzerland is a shithole in disguise. Thes syphon money out of you. If you're poor or even middle class you're forced to move to a neighbouring country.
What software is used to create this infographics and video?
Its because diversity isnt their “strength”
~25% foreign residents, ~50% with a migration background including the naturalized. 4 Languages, traditionally ~50/50 Catholic and Protestants, 5.9% muslims, which is above the European average of 4.9%. 0.7% of Hindus and Buddhists. Sounds reasonably divers to me.
@@user-rg7fe5eh4t yeah you know its diverse when instead of white they are broken down into what kind white (Italian french etc) 🤣 gtfo with that nonsense, people who deny common sense are dangerous and should be not allowed to vote

the reason the average swiss wealth is so high is just the inflated prices. anyone that owns a home is a "millionaire". that doesn't mean you are living like a rich person.
such a great video, i love switzerland so much.. and you 100% focus'ed on the right reason Switzerland became so great..
Great video as always
Money
Isn't the answer to this question nazi gold, money laundering and compartmentalized morality? It's easy to be well run when you're rich and unburdened by ethics.
the gold was worth 400 million dollars, foreign assets are only 2.5 % of the Swiss economy. jealous people really always come up with the same speech :)
The old, outdated, never been really true myth of the tax heaven and the money-laundering banks. How can 'no taxes' be beneficial for a country of 8 million? Switzerland overtook in terms of GDP p.c. the then leading GB already around 1885 due to its strong industry and remained amongst the top till today. 30% still second sector, Liechtenstein 40%. The banking customer's secrecy, established 1933 to protect from expropriation by the Nazis was abolished a few years ago without effect. ruclips.net/video/4Cb_ak_3gSY/видео.htmlsi=e9Y8YJIiNo0lVBow
Switzerland is going well because the majority is german and also because all the world stores its money there.
- Only 3.6% of residents are German. The overwhelming mayority (~70%) is Swiss. Yes with different languages, among others Swissgerman, which is only slightly closer to High German than Dutch is. Do you think that ~700 years of independent history have less of an impact, than the 'German' blood? And btw, about 50% of residents have a migration background. - Foreign assets make about 2.5% of the Swiss economy. Must be quite a poor world, if this is all the welth there is. Yes Switzerland has some things, it still should improve in it's banking system! But come on, by now the USA of all places, has a way stricter banking secrecy than Switzerland. And different to Switzerland, they do not cooperate with international organs, when it comes to data exchange to find tax evation. There are many other territories and countries, which are way bigger than Switzerland when it comes to money laundring & tax evasion. Among others Ireland. But not a single one of you cliche riders in the comments brings this up. Neither the Irish nor the Swiss should be blamed as a whole. But with one of them, it is almost seen as a moral duty to do so. You do nothing to improve the world, you only need a reason to hate & run with it.
@@user-rg7fe5eh4t just like I said, Switzerland is rich primarely because it has a very productive german majority and also because the rest of the world stores its money there.

I love localism. Thanks for another great video explaining how thats possible in Ireland. But if we wanted something like this, where would we start? Apart from sharing this video.
Can't be the best run country if you get rich by stealing from Holocaust victioms and denying till today to repay there relatives. Switzerland is primärily one thing a place to lounder money into the EU and from illeageal shit inside the EU into seemingly legal reveneu.
First, it didnt steal anything. Second it was worth peanuts and mainly taken by banks. Third it did repay the victims. Educate yourself 😂
i honestly believe nimbyism is largely caused by the people living in the impacted area simply not seeing a direct benefit to them personally, sounds selfish but it is how people work and honestly kinda fair (with fears of gentrification and being priced out of your area are very easy to understand) HOWEVER i think if we show these same people proper incentives like lets say, if you own a home in the area in the same way the people of norway OWN the natural resources, the people of the area OWN that land, so money made from new mid to high-rise developments could be put into a local wealth fund (similer to norways wealth fund they invest oil money with) "friendlyjordies" an australian youtuber had a good line when the "yes" vote sadly didnt go through which was "end of the day people are just worried about the money in their back pocket" that one line has very much changed how i view the way new infrastructer and housing developments are handled. if people aren't directly involved they are more likely going to be against it and i would argue that's a good thing
copenhagen's model of utilising the fact their land is SO expensive and then utilising that to pay for a new metro is honestly a stroke of genius, could you imagine the infrastructure dublin could build if they utilised the land in the same way, combine the street vote idea and tell those same people "if you go even denser we can use the money to preinstall a whole light metro line increasing the land value further" it could change dublin forever (and every other irish city, further protecting the countries beautiful country side)
We tried to be a tax haven but just not on the same level as Switzerland lol
At the moment you're even worse 😂
@@ccii-ch6gf you still have all that nazi money?
@@Oliver9402not related, i guess my answer hurt you😂
@ccii-ch6gf no lol it's just funny Switzerland got so much money from dodgy places
no brown people. No need to thank me
The Swiss system should be a model for the whole of Europe!
One country fought against nazis and other kept their gold safe
Sure, the 'great' powers fought, and those in between did everything they had to, for survival - cowardly, but that is Realpolitik. Wait, there is a 3rd category: those who actually were nazis/fascist/similar. Germany, Italy, Austria, Japan and the not occupied southern half of always praised France. And yes, Spain kept out of it, but ideologically not that far off, if you ask the Basques. So all neighbors of Switzerland, except Lichtenstein + some. And well, England, which basically saw its colonial subjects as gun fodder. Or Finland, which collaborated with the nazis, against the UdSSR, until they lost. Or Sweden, which despite being neutral alowed the nazis transports through its territory and were the only ones, which's GDP actually increased during the war. Or the USA which blaimed racism, unless it was against its own black population, or other POC in its tertitory or oversea 'possessions'. Nothing but white wests and angles chanting. Do you write a comment under content of this countries too? "Olympics, what a joke because of Vichy! Shinkansen, do not care, they were basically nazis. Violence in Malmö, it's karma, those nazi enablers."? But sure, keep looking at things through the lense of a cliche, and spreding hate.
