Iain Macwhirter: Don’t diss the Swiss idea, this could be our road back to Europe

WHAT’S so great about living in Switzerland? Well, the flag is a big plus. Yes, I know – most jokes about this small, mountainous, landlocked country are dire. Something to do with that famously dismissive remark about Switzerland’s greatest achievement in history being the cuckoo-clock – people just don’t have very strong feelings about the country. Mind you, it has the highest income in the world, hasn’t been in a war since 1815, and could be seen as a possible model for a non-nuclear, independent Scotland. . http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/16182001.Iain_Macwhirter__Don___t_diss_the_Swiss_idea__this_could_be_our_road_back_to_Europe/?ref=rss
