A quadrilingual country like Switzerland can offer us a lesson in terms of remaining unified, but in a manner in which each linguistic group can feel secure and safe. We should emulate the Swiss example.

It’s always easier with 3 or more languages. The groups can make different alliances depending on the circumstances; it’s not one against another like a sports game or domestic dispute.
Other countries that have just 2 official languages are even more divided than us.
