THE EU IS A GREAT ECONOMIC ENGINE

Yesterday, Swiss people voted with a large majority to keep the freedom of movement for the EU citizens. Yesterday was a great day for both the EU and Switzerland. Both the EU and Switzerland have the interest to have a good relationship with each other as immigration and free trade are two sides of a coin, particularly in Europe. Actually, the European Union's four freedoms make the Europeans richer. Swiss smart people knew it but English people failed to understand the EU's four freedoms. Moreover, Swiss smart people knew Switzerland desperately needs EU/German high skilled immigrants as Switzerland, many multinational companies are highly reliant on German/EU skilled immigrants. How Switzerland has managed to maintain high productivity? How Switzerland has generated a pool of skilled professionals large enough to match the demand? Indeed, high skilled German/EU immigrants fill the void. IMHO, Switzerland stands alone won't be able to maintain high productivity. Switzerland stands alone won't be able to generate high skilled professionals large enough to match the demand. Switzerland stands alone struggles to sign any bilateral agreement in its favour.  Switzerland stands alone won't be able to maintain its living standard. English people building barriers against the EU. English people will realise the EU's four freedoms sooner than later. Many multinational companies will leave the UK without high skilled EU immigrants in the future for sure. I would like to see how the UK will fare without the EU in the future. 

I would like to see Switzerland and the European Union trade-off of the framework agreement particularly worker protection, state aid, and benefits should be in the same direction. So that Switzerland's trade-off of the framework agreement is to the complete EU single market access. I knew it will take time.
