Another referendum today – The main proposal calls for Swiss law to take precedence over international law and treaties.

All major political parties bar one, and a coalition of 120 civil society organisations, from environmental groups to groups which support the elderly, the disabled, or refugees oppose it. The one political party that supports this proposal – the right-wing Swiss People’s Party (SVP).
