Default Swiss immigration vote

A Swiss referendum on whether to bring back strict immigration quotas

If approved, the measures will end Switzerland's free movement of people agreement with the European Union.

Since 2007, most of the EU's 500 million residents have been on an equal footing with locals in the Swiss job market - the result of a policy voted into law in a 2000 referendum.

But a coalition led by the right-wing Swiss People's Party now wants to reverse this deal, saying it was a huge mistake.

Supporters of quotas believe free movement has put pressure on housing, health, education, and transport - and they also argue that foreign workers drive salaries down.
