   European Union should cut all benefits for countries that are not members of European Union .

   and give more benefits to the countries that are members of European Union .

   Inflation is low, almost no unemployment, almost no homeless.. maybe not being part of the EU isn't that bad for us. Our political system just doesn't fit in to the EU.

   Seeing Switzerland being a close member to the EU but in their own way makes me happy. They don't need to join since they already have good relations with the union.

   switzerland was able to secure a lot of benefits that would usually require joining the EU, a big reason for it is their pure wealth, it would simply be a bad deal for EU to refuse to such a strong economy.
   honestly, good for them

    Next do a video about Mario Draghi. What has he done so far to energize Italy's economy? Explain in detail how he used Golden Rule to prevent Chinese takeover of Milan based semiconductor company. Also, what can Italians and EU expect from a Draghi premiership. Tq.

    Theres only 3 countries in the world not swimming in debt that can never be paid via corrupt rip off politics / robbing taxpayers….they are the swiss , norway , luxemberg. Ironic that. Says alot . Best thing to do is NOT be in the EU. Its completely corrupt. Martha andresson eu accountant told us 20 yrs ago but eu sacked her / silenced her.
    End the eu by david noakes 2010 tells u all you need to know. Eu is against magna carta / illegal but were so like the usa now dumbed down by consumption / covid / royal sycophancy / materialism etc uks lost the plot.

    The biggest reasons for Switzerland not wanting to join EU are to do with banking transparency laws and racism.
    Swizerland financial system is built to be a laundry service and joining EU would destroy that. How do you think that a country that doesn't really exports any product besides some chocolates survives?
    People from Swizerland are also deeply racist. They absolutely hate everyone else. Remember the refugee crises? Remember the referendum where they had to choose between accepting refugees or paying hafty fines? Well they chose to pay the fines. Swiss people are so racist, that even Germans complain about racism. Crazy, right?

    Interesting what happened in the 8 months since this video was posted (even though it has been more of the same), we say yes to Europe, no to the EU. Heck, they (the EU) even manage to make our left and right to find their common ground. So long framework. So long "foreign judges"! 😉

    You could also add that you can withdraw euro banknotes in any ATM in Switzerland and pay anywhere using euros.
    Switzerland would have no problem adapting to the European political system since the Helvetic Confederation is already an extremely complicated and bureaucratic organization. 🤣

    I hate telling other countries what to think, and what to do, because it would be like 90% of countries telling us Americans to convert fully to metric. Oh yeah, they already do that.

    We will never join the EU. As soon as a deal would be finalised that would push EU-Rules over swiss rules, we will make a referendum that makes it impossible to make this deal. Most of our law-rules are Kanton-bases, the smalles Kanton counts about 16'000 people, we don't want to adobt (stupid) EU-rules. And because we have the best political system in the world, there are no corrupt politicians that can force this bullshit on us.

    I believe it is only a question of time before an ultimately successful attempt to join the EU will be launched in CH. Success will foremost depend on the old guard passing from the scene in this country and on how successful the EU will be. Furthermore, it will depend on the concessions the EU would be willing or able to grant to CH if it joined the EU. Neutrality would be a minor obstacle as it would not have to be affected by such move. There are more weighty sticking points and these would of course have to be resolved.

    6:53 I believe that at least in the medium term this will be exactly the future of the UK after Brexit. There really is no alternative to this, other than a permanent situation of no-deal which is not sustainable. A deal UK – EU as it is being negotiated now is nothing else but the start of endless bilateral negotiations. Insofar as Switzerland has had decades of experience in this field, future UK negotiators may want to discuss and analyze in detail what CH has achieved (or failed to achieve) in this regard.

    This was a very good summary of Switzerland's complex relations with the EU. But the recent September 2020 referendum decisively approving free movement with the EU is an indication that Swiss opinion is shifting towards greater integration with the EU. This (and I speak as a Swiss) makes sense: Switzerland should be a full member of the EU or at least the EEA.

    Post Brexit, I expect, Britain will now evolve on a path with the EU similar to that of Switzerland's complex series of bilaterals…

    Britain’s position in the EU is just as unique: today Britain opts out from more than 1,200 EU laws and regulations and yet keeps complaining about lack of independence from the EU. Another president like Trump in the US and Switzerland won’t need to worry about joining the EU because there will be no EU.

    Well to sum up the development in recent years: (The majority in) Switzerland wants to keep things as they are, with bilateral agreements, but the EU is putting more and more pressure on Switzerland to join on one hand, while disconnected further and further from their own people.
    As a swiss, I'm very afraid, of joining the EU. Not because of foreigners coming into Switzerland, that argument doesn't exist (we have 25% foreigners here and the majority of swiss ppl doesn't mind), but because of the foreign leadership, with legislators who are 1) not accountable, because they vote about so many things in such a short time, that they themselves can't fully undestand what they're voting about 2) they vote only "theoretically" transparently, as the protocol of voting sessions is such a mess, that the politicians get angry, if someone actually makes the effort to point out who voted for what (see copyright in the digital single market aka "EU censorship for Big Business") 3) the optimists in the eu parlament only vote for the bigger picture of a global society and don't care about single fates and 4) the economists vote in favor of stock markets and market growth and again don't care about single fates, the argument that everyone will benefit from that is false. Only big corporate benefits, the poor get poorer, relatively of course.
    I really like all European people and countries, and free trade and movement would be great. But having to obey a (culturally) foreign law, foreign armies and foreign professional full time politicians is a very unsettling thought for me..

    I am a German currently living in Switzerland and I can tell you I won't stay forever. It took me three months to miss all the basic privileges of living in the EU, including such simple to things as using one cell phone contract everywhere, ordering stuff on amazon or being able to wire money without ridiculous costs. So from my point of view, the Swiss can only benefit from joining the EU. Most of them might not agree though, because what the video did not mention is that public votes in Switzerland have currently put the bilateral agreement on the chopping block. For example, Switzerland has not ratified the necessary contracts with croatia because of that. So the current situation is more difficult than you might expect
