If the Swiss PEOPLE do not want to be seen globally as a people who provide arms to others, it is a worthwhile risk to take the chance that a company who wishes to provide arms to other countries may opt to leave.
It seems the minaret vote has stolen all the attention from the fact that the Swiss people also voted yesterday, by a rather large margin, to continue exporting weapons.

In light of the results of these two votes, the quote from PegA seems rather charming and almost from a bygone era. Is this the Switzerland we all thought we knew?
