Why Switzerland is Considering a Population Cap

  1. Because the racist populist right wing party needs to draw attention to themselves in the way they want rather than by their actions that makes it worse for the whole country.

  2. Because our infrastructure (streets, public transport, housing, etc.) have not grown at the same rate like our population has grown.

    Because immigration – enabled mainly by EU bilateral agreements (EU citizens basically now have an automatic right to come live in Switzerland) – has majorly contributed to the population increase.

    Because due to this a right-wing party (that doesn‘t like the EU and doesn‘t like immigration) has gathered enough signatures for a popular initiative so that under our direct democracy system there now will be a nationwide public vote on the topic.

  3. I am not saying we can‘t have migration, but it can‘t be controlled by the companies HR departments, we need some sort of governance that checks whether its worth importing an accountant and his family compared to his needs of infrastructure.

  4. We’ll end up voting Yes, Hans-Ruedi will be terrified at the thought of more dark-skinned people that he’s never seen until now.
