TStael: Germans are the most common guest workers - or common market participants - in Switzerland, and not unconditionally loved on fair balance of their contribution to the economy.
With "Gegen Masseneinwanderung" popular initiative winning, Swiss government must now negotiate immigration caps with European Union nations on behest of SVP.
SVP would like less Germans, and us Finns I presume, and everyone else from EU, in CH as it goes.
I think you support that? (=your pleasure, executed by SVP)
Emob78: I have no fecking idea what it was you just said, but I'm against it. With "Gegen Masseneinwanderung" popular initiative winning, Swiss government must now negotiate immigration caps with European Union nations on behest of SVP.

Switzerland due to trade treaties with the EU can freely sell its goods and services unto EU market, and its citizens can also join the Common Market as entrepreneurs, capital investors, corporations or employees.
Switzerland has one of the most admirable direct democracies: with enough signatures, any law project with enough signatures must become a federal vote where all Swiss citizens say either "yes" or "no."
SVP's "Gegen Masseneinwanderung" popular initiative demanded that Swiss government negotiate unilateral limits to "Single Market" with EU states. Meaning that Switzerland needs to limit in-coming EU free movement.
I am fine with that - only it never was specified by SVP which common market privileges CH should trade in, in return. Exchanges are mutual, I think - not cherry picking exercise.
