Looking around the globe, there are big opportunities to sell North Sea energy to the EU and a very big opportunity to fill the vacuum left by Switzerland.

What happened to Switzerland? I can almost see it from my house (in a Sarah Palin sense) and it looks to still be there.

If the vote goes against England, I think they need to go back to the traditional solution- conquest.

The country is still there. Their economic superpower of SWISS PRIVACY is gone. They willingly gave it up by kowtowing to the US and EU.

This created a vacuum that will be filled either by another nation that can stand independently (Russia and China do not report under FATCA), or money will move off the grid, which it is doing today into real estate, coins, stamps, art, etc.

I personally like Switzerland very much. Their form of democracy centers on regions (cantons) and seems very responsive to the people who live there.
