Now it's really unclear. There are "referendums" referred by Parliament, and there are "referendums" to repeal Parliamentary laws demanded by petition. Which are the successful ones?
Also, from what I remember, referred measures are more likely than initiatives to be passed in the U.S., just as in Switzerland, which is what I think you meant.
