Just out of the sack.. Time difference :-))
The average Swiss appears to make sound decisions..
All comes down to education really.

The Aussie non-result will likely throw another spanner in the works for a while. Expect a down day Aust/NZ.

The markets dislike uncertainty - esp. on top of Brexit,

Anyway take a look at the posters used in the referendum....it was not noise that was the main issue.
The UK certainly does not have the monoply on racists and "fear of immigrants" in Europe. A destabilising issue throughout the EU atm.
Why the dissatisfaction of their own residence ... ??.
Do we want or need such gutless people ???..
Has to be said :-)))
Waiting for the knee jerk replies.. :-)))
Why ???
Because in my experience.. Most Indians want to control..
Hindu Heaven.... A Hard hat.. A high Vis vest... A clip board..
No.. No.. No.. Vat you must be doing is...
Why is India the country we all want to go to ??
Useless up them selves people.. IMHO..

I've talked to many Brits who have left the UK and immigrated here and nearly all of them have complained about the level of immigration to the UK and cited that as a reason for coming to NZ. The irony of that seems to escape them.

Except there is no irony. To come to nz you need a job offer, have health clearance and police checks. You dont get access to health care unless you have a minimum 2 year visa. Entry to nz isnt guaranteed.
As a european apparently you can just bowl into the uk and get instant access to all the goodies.

Yes, except no one I have talked to has complained about them getting the goodies - they've complained about them being there. Ironic, don't you think?
