To some extent I think it’s absolutely fair to expect that, yes. Especially in the richer countries of the world.
- PKop 5y agoThis is not how politics works. Nations are definitionally a group of people with shared interests. No one else is going to vote in the interest of the Swiss, only they will for themselves. It is absurd to equate well run, successful, wealthy nations with an obligation to harm themselves by adopting bad policies that hurt their own people. Anyone advocating for that should be ignored.
