Are the Swiss prepared to lay siege to your own land? Are you prepared to live on chocolate, bread, cheese and milk? The EU will not come to an end simply because Switzerland blocks transport, but Switzerland might.

| | Re: Masseneinwanderung Stoppen [initiative to limit immigration] | Quote: | |  | | | The traffic over the past ten years has become absurd, all due to the large number of frontaliers.
My daughter found it a better idea to move to tha US, rather than look for a job in TI, as they are all being taken by frontaliers who are willing to work for far less.
Need I continue?

It amazes me how you see things form a totally Swiss perspective, even from across the big pond. I think most of the Germans, see it as you so crudely put it, and they can take their wares elsewhere.
What the Swiss don't think about is the damage that this has done. Do they believe that those in the EU will ever have confidence in investing in Switzerland again with the hindsight that they can get kicked out at a moment's notice and told FU you're out.

And you would deny other people that right?
