EU has done really well on passing big laws such as GDPR in the recent years, while the US can’t even seem to decide whether to fund their own government. Why do you think Europe is doing better than the US? One would think that since EU is more diverse it would be harder to find common ground. And there were examples of that during the Greece debt crisis. But not anymore, it seems.

    We don’t have our own trade deals. The EU makes all the trade deals for everyone to the outside and on the inside it’s completely free trade. That was one of the points the UK wanted from the Brexit. To “great” success.

    Switzerland can pass any law they are happy with. The are not part of the Union. They are only part of the trade federation and allow free travel. But they are not part of Schengen either. (I remembered that wrong.) It’s complicated.

    The rest is spot on.
