MODERATORS
I am still blown away by the part where the legislatures give a single damn about what the people want:-).
Plus, how 60% actually manages somehow to win:-P.
The legislature didn't, the unions together with the leftist political minority pushed for this after the centre and right parties dragged their feet and did nothing for decades.
Ahhhh... now that makes more sense. :-D
They must care about it. The initiative states that it must be implemented no later than January 1, 2026.
We have a similar trend as in the US with retired being poorer each year. Also, the general population is poorer. Ad to that the Confederation gave billions to falling banks and to the economy during COVID without giving a f to the population. People now want they share.
