Norway has similar deals

"Adopts 0% of EU rules" if by that this mean EU Laws then this is wrong as being in EFTA means that do adopt most major EU laws.
JesseRaen
One cornerstone of the Vote Leave campaign was free movement within the EU, which Switzerland accepts in return for access to the market.
Retromorphic
It hasn't really got much of a choice it's landlocked.
Glumerlink
Switzerland has gotten special rules for it since forever, even the germans were cool letting the swiss have jews
Phlons
don't forget Switzerland was paid to keep its armies at home.
MIniMenInChests
How do you adopt 0% of EU rules and still sell things to the EU? I call fuckery!
iFavoriteNSWFstuffButtAlsoOtherStuff
ofc they do adopt some EU stuff like free movement in exchange to market access. OP is just bullshitting.
QuantumEntangler
Switzerland is the furthest thing from the uk it's like Megan Fox compared to jose canseco

Only country IN THE WORLD with a direct democracy! The people run the country not some weird political sub class of inbred failures.

Stayed neutral during ww2, where all our rich politicians like to do their business and hide some money.
iFavoriteNSWFstuffButtAlsoOtherStuff

SimonDeCat

KyloSolo
What's stopping you?
SimonDeCat
Student loans and drinking.
KyloSolo
So in other words... you?

You forgot: "Holds all the secrets to every other nation's secret hidden wealth". Yeah, that one's kind of important.

I'm fairly sure GCHQ can dig up dirt on some foreign politician somewhere...
TheQuack
well, the UK has nuclear weapons. I'd call that a draw.
WolfHarbinger
Well, if Scotland leaves the UK, all you guys will have are submarines
badaccount
Russia, USA, France, UK... list goes on. It's really not that special. No one will use them anyway. Money > weapons
TheQuack
it is special. it's a very short list.
badaccount
Yes. Only 9 countries. You're all very special snowflakes, who could literally end the life as we know it. Go ahead.
TheQuack
I'm in Canada. We're not on the list (although we did host American nuclear weapons in the 60's).
theaterofdreams
Also interesting to note Switzerland is among the bottom in immigration from non-European countries
mynameisntfuckinwarren
Actually, Switzerland took in 113471 Syrian refugees in 2015 alone. That's more than Greece, Spain, and Norway combined.
theaterofdreams
"Refugees" not permanent residents. Refugees are not immigrants
mynameisntfuckinwarren
You've been proven wrong so you're trying to parse semantics. Clever girl.
theaterofdreams
If you don't understand the difference between immigrant and refugee, please kindly fuck off till you do
TheQuack
You're mistaken. In Canada refugees are a class of immigrants who will eventually become permanent residents.
theaterofdreams
Cool. And if we were talking about Canada that might matter
TheQuack
Canada is just one example. It's the same in the USA and many other places.
