Schweiz sagt JA zur Masseneinwanderungsinitiative!
The vote to limit immigration from EU member states passed by 0.5%.
The EU will not be happy about this. Ha ha ha.
Good for the Swiss (and the Volkspartei).

Successful small countries are successful because they make a lot of friends. Ireland and Iceland survived because they had many friends in Brussels. Qatar punches above its weight because of its many strategic alliances.
Who are Switzerland's friends? Sure, they are rich at the moment, but that is being threatened. Their banking sector is less than what it used to be, given the scrutiny the U.S. Justice Department has put on it. The world's elite are not as friendly with Switzerland as they once were. Should they really focus on breaking more friendships?

ITs less about breaking friendships, in general the voting want do much of a change. Many young switzers education focuses on economy today, the reason why Switzerland has such a high number of immigration is that rarely no Switzer has such a bad school-education to be willing to work in a "McJob", as well that that they miss skilled workers (electricians, plumbers, ...) as well as practical academics as medicians/engineers.
The reason why there is so much immigration actual in Switzerland, is because of them offering tons of jobs to immigrants, so as example my sister who studied medicine, got her job right from the university, where Switzer hospitals were advertising to immigrate into the Switzerland, so that they can hire you.
I do understand that Switzers might feel disturbed by the actual high immigration rate (while most of them are Austrians and Germans, who speak for parts the same language). But actually if the Switzers want to change that, they should do less voting, and more care for their kids learning more different jobs. There is no much use in all becoming secretaries and bankers, when noone can built your office, noone can clean it, noone can work because of the missing electricty and IT, and all get ill because of the great numbers of missing doctors.

That is an excellent point. If the Swiss wanted less immigration, they could focus on less job specialization, and more job generalization. More education for trades (construction, plumbing, gardening) would be nice.
The thing is, if the Swiss are taking highly specialized jobs, they will always get paid better than low-skilled immigrants. If you ask me, the Swiss have nothing to fear from immigration. Education and wealth are always more powerful than numbers alone.
