Hey, fall all their 'hate' they sure seem content to leave everyone else the hell alone. They seem quite alright from where I'm sitting.
3 Billion? That number seems awfully low...
You tried surrounding them on all their borders down already, didn't work so well as I recall... :3
If I had to summerise my political convictions in a few words it would be mhmmm.
Pragmatic supporter of a federal republic.
I have the unshaken belief that a decentralised goverment with a more local administrative body is far more effective than a central goverment.
Prgamatism? Yes. I dont blieve that any single political idiolgy can provide a perfect state, it would contradict the very principle of democracy.
I dont think that the left can provide the structures nececery for a flurishing economy, nore that the conservatives can actively produce more social change nore that liberterians can provide social nececeties and inferstructure.
My vote depends on who can be more convincing with studies, facts and logistcaly realistic numbers.
The greatest sounding concept is worthless if it doesnt work.
It is not about them leaving everyone alone. Their bankingsystem is (and that is proven and therefor undenyable fact) providing the structures which helps criminal elemts in all of europe escape prosecution, they have always been a thorn in the eyes of every lawinforcement of every European nation.
3 Billion not alot? Maybe it sound like not alot, if I can tell you something about german politics then it is that every single cent is counted and it`s spending evaluated countless times.
But I think 3 billion is alot and I guess so does everyone else.
World War 2 may have a impact on German-Israeli, German-Polish, German - French ... and pritty much our releations with everyone.
But not the swiss, and the comparison is a bit weird, if you ment it serious.
