Summary
Swiss voters rejected a $5.6 billion (CHF 5 billion) motorway expansion plan (52.7%) and two proposals to ease eviction rules and tighten subletting controls (53.8% and 51.6%).
Environmental concerns and housing fairness were key to the opposition.
Meanwhile, a healthcare reform to standardize funding for outpatient and inpatient care narrowly passed (53.3%), marking a rare success for health policy changes.
The results highlight public resistance to certain government-backed initiatives.
Voter turnout was 45%.
Drove from Geneva to Lausanne the other day, the traffic was crawling the whole way. It was busy but not dreadfully so
Absolutely fuck all to do with the size of the motorway or the density of the traffic but 1000% the fault of the selfish, arrogant Geneva banker wankers in their Beamers and Mercs, hogging the fast lane and driving WAY too close to the car in front, causing tailbacks by braking too harshly
Start fining these cunts and making them take time off work to attend driving courses, that’ll solve the entire motorway problem
Or take a fuckin direct train from Geneva to Lausanne. Why would you ever drive this route?..
