In our film, How to Make our Politicians More Accountable - Swiss style, there were a few errors which we are pleased to correct here.


There are 26 cantons in Switzerland, and seven ministers, each with portfolios such as foreign policy, defence, health, finance, infrastructure and immigration. Presidency changes every year between the seven ministers. At national level, there are two chambers where one of them is composed of 200 members with proportional representation depending on the population of each canton. The other chamber has 52 seats, two for each canton. All propositions must be approved by both chambers. Each canton has its own government for and not limited to schooling, finance, police, justice, health and infrastructure.


We also apologise for the misspelling of Henry Ferguson's name.
