I have asked several folks that in the last few hours. We all agree that
for the average citizen, the membership means little or nothing on a day
to day basis. For the members of the government, it will make their
lives a bit easier in all spheres of international relations, since it
puts them on a level field.
Interesting thought: The cost of CH membership per year in the UN will
be equal to building one kilometer of an interstate (autobahn).
Time will tell about the EU. I have not begun to think about selling my
CHF. Herr Blocher is already gearing up for the fight about EU
membership for CH.
