Renaming "suggested revisions" as "controversy"[edit]

I had introduced a new section under Federal Popular Initiative, called "criticism", explaining how initiatives are more and more seen as a problem by many people. DBachmann renamed it "suggested revisions". I don't think that it's a good idea.

First, the section doesn't mention any suggested revision, just the controversy increasingly surrounding initiatives.

Second, it gives the impression of a purely technical debate. Yet, it became a very hot topic in Switzerland. To give you just one example, L'Hebdo, the main Swiss French newsmagazine, made a cover this week about controversial initiatives. It titled it: "The Suicide of Switzerland" (L'Hebdo No 46, 13.11.14).

Criticism was maybe not the right title but I suggest to rename this section "controversy".
