Yes, Blocher was dead against, but many of the arguments were such arrant nonsense (e.g. loss of neutrality - as if they'd never heard of Sweden). It was pure little Schweizer paranoia and the population saw through it. Of course, the Tiefschweizer down in Titian's part of the world (Tiefschweizerinnen too - I think they let them out of the house nowadays) weren't happy, but then, apart from Titian, they rarely are).

I'd personally say 20 years+ is more likely, but, as Harold Wilson said, a week is a long time in politics, and who knows what'll happen by then? The latest "Economist" survey showed that the Swiss are becoming more like other Europeans - and, amazingly, are starting to realise that this is so. Whatever next?
