    We have a lot of different political and government bodies. Like the “checks and balances” the US had. So when you read “Switzerland wants to…” it could be:

    • A survey of people living in Switzerland
    • A initiative (an official political vote done by the swiss citicens)
    • One big or multiple parties signing an agreement
    • A group of cantons or communal legislative or executive politicians
    • A group of semi-official people (like the conference of all the cantons data protection officers (“Kantonale Datenschützer”, keine Ahnung wie all das Zeug auf Englisch heisst, Hilfe)
    • Our parliament or a comitee in it
    • Our other parliament or a comitee in it
    • The federal court
    • The federal chancelor
    • The federal government
    • And sometimes internetusers even mix some company into the bag, for example Proton.

    I probably forgot a few and misspelt a lot but you get the idea. And all of them are different elected or appointed persons, with their own opinions.
