UNCONTROLED IMMIGRATION FIRES NATIONAL FEELINGS !


Last Sunday, little Switzerland voted to reduce not only mass immigration from the EU, but also from other parts of the world.  In the final analysis, they also want better selective immigration.

This flies in the face of current EU policies which advocate free movement of labour and which do not control in a watertight manner immigration from outside the EU.  Recent reports on LAMPEDUSA illustrate this point perfectly. 

MEPs are preparing to face their electors in May 2014 and are shocked by the Swiss "votation".  All the major EU principles are enshrined in a series of Treaties which cannot be "simply" revised or updated.   MEPs and National Leaders all know this !   This is their very comfortable environment, but, is this not tantamount to denying voters their right to democracy !

The Swiss votation has provoked many comments in the Press but also from many well known politicians and leaders who have already applauded this small country.

Some MEPs, at present are securely installed in Brussels without really being well known in their own country.  They may have a shock awaiting them.  Some are worried !  National fervers are such that many new and unexpected faces may be elected in three months time !
