The Swiss do try out some stuff for the rest of us. Like speeding limiters, if you get caught speeding you have to drive a limited car. Everyone hates them because they race up to the speed limit then suddenly slow down causing the cars behind them to panic and hit the brakes!
Also like the fact that the Swiss keep a weapon at home for defence of the country, if they've done National Service then they're trained to handle it ergo it's safe.
I'm not convinced about TTIP being handled with our best interests by EU reps. The American lobbyists are working overtime for GMO foods as one example. If TTIP is going to be worth anything to EU exporters it can't be watered down, it's not even a question of people accepting/opposing the eventual deal, only France has the legislation to ratify it. Even it's negotiation is a giant money printing machine for lawyers and they plan to overrun the deadline by 5 years already.
So Corbyn thinks he could veto it but doesn't have the constitutional power and Dave would rubber stamp it although he won't even be asked to, but remaining in the EU where Corbyn and the unions could do nothing about it is a good thing!?! We should genuinely be the 51st State of the USA by the time it's finished.
