Urs Bieri from polling firm GFS Bern said the vote failed because although many people were worried ​about the rising population, they were not convinced by the plan and worried about the possible side-effects.

“From the very beginning it has been presented as the chaos initiative. Voters were worried about negative consequences for Switzerland’s relationship with the EU and for the labor market,” he said.

“People are ​also worried about things like having enough care and health workers. Also there’s a feeling that in the current international ​environment it’s not sensible for a small country to do this,” Bieri added.

Still, the substantial backing for the measure ​sits alongside growing support for ​policies aimed at curbing ⁠immigration across Europe. Campaign posters proclaimed only 10% of incomers were skilled workers and that asylum seekers were more likely to be rapists.

Opponents dubbed the plan a recipe for chaos because ​of the upheaval it would cause for Swiss companies, workers and Bern’s ties with the ​EU.

They also questioned ⁠whether it was wise to clash with Brussels after a bruising 2025, when President" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://nypost.com/2025/09/12/business/swatch-sells-watch-lampooning-trumps-39-tariffs-on-switzerland-a-huge-success/">President Trump slapped the highest US tariffs in Europe on Swiss goods.

Patrick Leisibach, a migration expert at think tank Avenir Suisse, said economic arguments had played a role, with ⁠people wary ​of how a “yes” vote would affect their daily lives.

“They wonder ‘who is going ​to serve me at the restaurant?’ and ‘who is going to care for me when I get old?’ It’s more about personal welfare which made people reject ​this initiative,” Leisibach said.
