Swiss referendum rejects cutting ties with the eu
Jump to: Newest in thread
I’ve always thought the Swiss were rather a sensible country. Albeit immersed in murky money like us.
However 38% voting against free movement with the EU would be a concern in my opinion. Given it was essentially a “taking back control of our borders” campaign. Where have we heard that before?
38% was indeed a surprise and has the potential to be built on. |

Of course they have ties with but not members as we should be,They have thrived by NOT joining |

Switzerland is not a member of the EU but just a trading partner.
I think this highlights an important fact, if the EEC was still about and the UK were just trading partners I doubt very much the UK would have had a referendum in the first place. |

Get that, but all the world has moved on since the EEC 40/50 odd years ago, unfortunately for you guys, you have not moved on, you are only looking at some romantic past,and the truth is there is no future in the past |

They agreed to free movement because banking was dwindling and they needed to trade with the EU.
They saw it as an opportunity to have a better economy not a negative.

They had a similar referendum in 2014, in which the isolationist option got 50.33%.
This time round, Freedom of Movement wins by 62%, which would make it an overwhelming+10% victory.
Brexit and the abysmal handling of it has massively promoted the rationale for the European Union in continental Europe. |
