Luxembourg is a genuine country with real history, as opposed to artificial creations like Liechtenstein or Monaco. Those are the ones that should be abolish.

Given how much damage it does to the rest of the world, I'm not particularly bothered by its "legitimacy" as a nation or whatever.

This is true, but couldn't a similar charge be levied at a certain alpine nation as well? Wink

Well, that would be why I am voting "No" in May Smiley

Swiss are lucky. When the tax/banking things are mentioned you guys can always point at Liechtenstein.

Generally what happens is, the EU tries to get Switzerland to clean up its act -  and the response here is a load of outraged people in the media going "Well, why don't they do any thing about Luxembourg/The Netherlands/The UK/Ireland hmm? why not clear up their own back garden before attacking us?"

Which, well, I imagine in we had joined the EU, then the powers that be would have been a lot more indulgent of the banking secrecy and dodgy profit shifting rules and all the rest....
