Swiss referendum fails as voters block ’10 million’ population cap plan

 Swiss voters have rejected a right-wing proposal to cap the nation’s population at 10 million. Early results show a clear opposition to the initiative, which was championed by the Swiss People’s Party over concerns about immigration and its impact on infrastructure and resources. The measure’s defeat preserves Switzerland’s crucial ties with the European Union. Swiss voters have rejected a right-wing proposal to cap the nation’s population at 10 million.
