Switzerland has a direct democracy and they are doing perfectly fine.
They're in many ways not the best example.
I would wager you have never been to Switzerland, or if you have, you never left the tourist traps to interact with the 'real Swiss'.
I only lived there one year, but I can tell you right now, they are not 'doing perfectly fine.'
Their pretty tourism industry hides some of the ugliest racism, faux-nationalism in the form of cantonal squabbling, sexism, anti-lgbt+, and a general dislike of anyone who does not conform exactly to their specific ways of living. Fuck Switzerland.
