... walls to climb
The Swiss are fifty-fifty when it comes to liking the will of the European nation
and whether it would be wise to participate .
The spirit of tolerance of the Brussel's administration gives the union a lot of credibility .
But only once there is a clearly defined central authority ,
that has the rights and obligations to reduce its members' individual freedoms
in return for the union's stability ,
once it has the incentive to reduce its federal support
to allow the forces of the market or local governments to spur independent innovation ,
once the executive decision making process
can be balanced by moderates in an efficient and fair way ,
and last but not least ,
once the EU citizens have the right to veto legislation ,
only then i am sure , the Swiss will sign the 'contrat social' of the European nations as well .
Until then , an independent Switzerland integrated in the WTO and the UN
seems the rational choice .
The Helvetic constitution will or shall hopefully provide the minimum stability
that a solidly united and modern alpine city-population wants for a decent life
and the hope for more in this third chiliad .
