Most Swiss back initiative to cap population at 10M, poll shows (reuters.com)

625 persons per square mile sounds pretty nice. Where I live is about 3000 per square mile, and the county is about 750 per square mile. And, it's a pleasant Human-scale density.

Yeah well, the source of the information is super suspicious. Let me translate this to different locales:

en_US: „Fox news survey shows most people against immigration“

en_UK: „The Sun readers would vote for even tougher brexit, polls show“

It’s not exactly surprising that people who read 20min vote in line with SVP.

If you want more neutral information about Swiss politics, swissinfo.ch is the independent public media corporation.

This makes the strategy of picking who precisely is allowed in a lot more interesting. I look forward to hearing how they solve this.

It's not "Most Swiss", it's 52% of survey respondants (8,411 people) out of the 9.1 million population.

I envy those countries on Earth that have democracy and generally have it so good that they are picky about who cleans their toilets and drives their busses and tends to them at the hospice. Speaking of the latter, they must have already taken care of the things which are coming for them, and legislated a while ago that every citizen is going to become a medical researcher and work at the forefront of the battle against cancer and aging, not to mention running 10 kilometers a week, at least. Ahh the heavenly first world…
