    proudly independent

    As a Swiss let me just clarify this: only old stupid nationalist idiots delude themselves to believe this. In reality we are completely dependent on our neighbours and the EU. We are a tiny country with a surprisingly large economy, which is exactly as strong as the trade we can do with EU countries and the highly skilled EU workers we can attract.

      Thank you. I love Switzerland, but they (you) benefit massively from the EU, as does all member states. Pretending otherwise it’s just dumb.

      We stand together or we get eaten by the US or China. Simple as.
