I'm sure they could just seize the contents of some safe deposit boxes to cover the costs. That seems like the sort of thing a son of a Britain hating Marxist would do if a similar law came in here. :erm:

It'll be interesting to see the results of this referendum, any idiot can get a proposal to referendum in Switzerland. I can't see the electorate as a whole falling for it.
