This is a ploy by right wingers to keep out immigrants. It's a proposal made by right-wing parties.
Yet again, leftists refuse to acknowledge a problem that bothers a majority of the population voting for right wing solutions. Is it a "ploy" if the majority of the Swiss agree to i? Who wants to live in an over populated place?
yes it was very arrogant from the parliament not to do a counter proposal. everyone feels the negative effect from the rapid growth. but the initiative is populism and won't fix anything.
Lots of people in 1960s US were bothered by schools being integrated. Perhaps even the majority in many southern states. Does that mean we should have pandered to them?
Just because some idiots think it's a problem, doesn't mean that we need to listen to them.
An indigenous self governing community implemented population per land limit. Under other framing many would applaud it and I don’t see an issue with this per se. Of course there’s a matter of western countries benefitting heavily from industrialisation which is leading to a climate catastrophe and upcoming brazillion of migrants.
You mean Switzerland? The one with all the secret bank accounts and Nazi gold?
Yeah, there's NO way that dark money from foreign sources could possibly affect the politicians, the media, and therefore the overton window in any underhanded ways!
Your insistence on giving the benefit of the doubt as to the motivations behind nakedly xenophobic policy based on a severe misunderstanding of pop science at best is not as commendable as you seem to think.
A large percentage of Americans have a problem with trans people, doesn't mean it's justified to kick them out or worse.
Unfortunately it's a fault of democracy. If by democratic powers the majority chooses to step on the rights of the minority, it's called "tyranny of the many".
Nobody said the purpose of democracy is to be "just", it's meant to serve the power and will of the people.
