Oh so you have a "remit" option then - cool

So how do the electorate hold the executive to account if they say the will do x instead of y but actually do nothing or something else entirely?

Can you have a reference back on a subsequent referendum to a motion that was remitted in a previous referendum - that's technically the democratic way to do it.

By the time they get to the national level in their party, politicians generally have a track record, and don't tend to surprise.

See the link zubspace gave above about collegiality (Concordance); what I've referred to as the "executive committee" is exactly the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Council_(Switzerland)

As to your specific questions, I'll do some research for the details and get back to you...
