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.
