[Wilhelm Tell]

Switzerland has a system that has worked for 700 years. 700 years! How does that compare with the socialists' five year plans? The EU ought to learn from Switzerland, and make Europe into a decentralized group of populations that provide for their common defense but otherwise most decisions are made locally and democratically. Instead, the powers that be want the EU to be a humanitarian version of the Soviet Union, with everything centralized and decided by bureaucrats and unelected leaders.

Switzerland has a culture of independence that even gave Julius Caesar difficulties.
