Supported by 1 story

Switzerland has decisively turned down a proposal to impose a cap on the nation's population at 10 million people, with the measure failing to gain majority support in a nationwide referendum.The initiative was defeated by a margin of nearly 55 per cent of voters opposing the plan, whilst just over 45 per cent backed it.The ballot marked an unprecedented moment globally, with Switzerland becoming the first country to put such a question directly to its electorate.Swiss citizens cast their final votes on the matter on Sunday, with the outcome announced after polling stations closed at noon local time.
