Swiss End-EU free movement

Why is every news outlet moving to the Buzzfeed method of "people can't cope with more than four lines of text at a time unless there's a big picture reward as a break".

Or can't people cope with more than four lines of text at a time?

I think you've answered your own question there, old chap.
 
Very interesting to see what happens with this, and very real implications for the UK.

My guess is that there'll be another referendum and the ultra-liberal European elite will make sure they get the result they want.
 
Will be very interesting to see if this stands, it wouldn't be the first time the EU have forced a re-vote for no real reason.
 
Switzerland isn't in the EU, so I don't really see how it will have implications for the UK or if the EU will force a re-vote?

This must mean the EU cannot force them.

The point is that the EU and Switzerland have a bi-lateral agreement which includes the free movement of people. Switzerland benefits enormously from this agreement and now has unilaterally rejected part of it. The EU might not be able to "force" the Swiss into accepting free movement, sovereign law trumps EU law after all, but it doesn't mean that this decision will be consequence free. It'll be interesting to see what, if anything, the EU decides to do this. I say if they tolerate this, then we should be next.

They literally can't do anything, Sweden is not in the EU, not in the Economic Zone and now not in Schengen.

lol, someone failed here, and they would be in economic zones, just not the EEA... As for the EU not being able to do anything, I'm not sure as there was a lot of treaties signed between the EU and Switzerland (obviously), so I'm sure the EU have some safeguards in place to look after the wants or needs of the European Union in these sort of situations.

Doesn't the old owner of ocuk now live in Switzerland? wonder if he'll have to come back?
 
I imagine the Swiss would quite like to be very selective about who they let into their country (namely people with money to put into their banks) but don't want to give up the ability to trade with other EU members without those exports being taxed.

Which I think everyone would secretly want, but that's not how it works.
