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.

This initiative isn't about maintaining a certain population density, it's about restricting immigration and separating Switzerland from the European Union.

A lot of people have reached a point where asylum and family reunification aren't high priorities anymore. Over the past 30 years, developed nations have helped 1.5 Billion people get out of extreme poverty. That's huge! But, now many would like to give those people the tools to build their own infrastructure, education systems, health care systems, economies, etc.

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.
