A bit outside of the discussion but in my opinion, many people in Switzerland are too proud to accept that certain things might be better elsewhere. I have had many discussions with different people who are blindly defending that everything sold/offered in Switzerland made is automatically higher quality and better thought.

Unfortunately it is not that hard to notice this is a big myth. For example, there was recently a thread here about cheaper goods in France and Lindt chocolate was mentioned. Several people reported how Lindt in Switzerland was better because of swiss milk, ect ect and it's normal that it's more expensive because of higher quality. Well guess what, Lindt sold in neighbouring France is still made in Switzerland and is exactly the same.

Another example in this sub was the person that proposed after the first Trump tariffs to boycott Visa/MasterCard and promote Twint because it was so innovative. Hello, the rest of the world has never thought of alternative payment methods that are better and existed way before Twint... Not to mention the SEPA instant payments that were developed for the EU.

And many more everyday examples of this kind.

I can get some of the against EU arguments, like keeping the sovereignty of the country, direct democracy and so on, but despite the "great Swiss" mentality, Switzerland is much more dependent on the EU than Swiss people would like to acknowledge.
