If the country were as large as the UK, it wouldn’t be run the same way. Not even close. The Swiss are very aware of this.


And if my grandma had wheels, she would be a bicycle.

Obviously each country has their own characteristics and solutions to any of their problems must be adapted. That does not mean, however, that there is nothing to learn from Switzerland just because the UK is larger. There are plenty of reproducible things that can be learn from Switzerland or any other country.


Sure you can learn things, but it doesn’t mean that those processes will necessarily translate at scale. Just like putting wheels on a human being doesn’t make them a bicycle.
