Seventeen years ago I left Mordor and moved to Middle-earth. People in Finland (an EU country and Eurozone member already then) said it was a dramatic move. But while Mordor keeps building bigger towers, more rules, and more “harmonization,” Middle-earth still runs on decentralization, local votes, and a still somewhat healthy distrust of grand plans. It’s not perfect here in Switzerland 🇨🇭 But power is fragmented on purpose (as long as the elections are not rigged). And when Mordor expands, voting with your feet stops sounding radical. It starts sounding rational.
