Americans would likely use the term "small town" over "village" in most of the country.

Also the physical layout of a small town would likely be different and much more car dependent.

I could usually get away with saying "Bacon is a vegetable" when ordering a vegetarian burrito with pinto beans; the pinto beans were made with bacon.

Based on stated consumption levels, you are probably not an alcoholic. However, your thought process indicates that you may be at risk.

That's more a tradition within the Swiss government in how it conducts itself compared to other countries like Germany. Plenty of coalitions in other governments will allow for votes on issues where the majority government doesn't have a stance.

Also, Swiss use of direct democracy is different than other European democracies, some of which don't have direct plebiscites.

It isn't like a cartel. It is a continuation of the freedom of association.

In legislatures, the legislative body generally needs a majority to get anything done. To help with that process, parties will come together in an agreement on what will be done. The agreement can be as minor as supplying votes for certain policies to splitting up which government agencies are run by the different parties.
