On 28 November 2021, Swiss voters voted on three federal initiatives on Covid laws, nurses working conditions and the way judges are selected.
The controversial vote on Covid laws was aimed at revoking Covid laws introduced in March 2021, which include provisions allowing Switzerland’s Covid certificates to be implemented. As forecast in recent polls, the latest batch of Covid laws were accepted by a majority (62.1%) of voters. Despite the support of a majority of Swiss, the laws were rejected by majorities in the cantons of Schwytz (51.4%) and Appenzell Innerrhoden (55.8%). In addition, another six cantons were within 5 percentage points of rejecting the laws, including Appenzell Ausserrhoden (49.3%), Obwalden (48.8%), Glarus (45.8%), Thurgau (45.4%), Sankt Gallen (45.3%) and Jura (45.3%). A map showing vote results by municipality can be viewed here. In one commune 88.2% voted against the laws.
The vote on changing working conditions for nurses also achieved a majority (61.0%). Only Appenzell Innerrhoden (47.1%) failed to find a majority in favour of the plan. While the vote to change the way federal judges are selected to a lottery system was rejected by (68.1%) of voters. No canton came close to a majority in favour of changing the way judges are selected.
Participation rates were high for all three votes. 65.7% of eligible voters cast a vote on the Covid laws, 65.3% on the nurse initiative and 64.7% of the federal judge vote.

Either the vote was rigged, which is highly possible since the rigged US elections showed the way on how to rig elections by using in mail voting and electronic fraudulent ‘votes’, or 62.1% Swiss are really stupid, ignorant or FASCISM LOVERS.
One thing is clear, choosing slavery over freedom shows a decadent and dying civilization.
I predict Swizterland will now join the EU (which is behind the vax passports) and will further disintegrate and become a shithole like next door France.
WEAKLINGS, hypocondriacs and braindead zombies can be happy of having destroy democracy forever in their country.
The corrupt and criminal federal council can now push more nazism, fascim and globalism as their puppet masters demand.
SHAME ON YOU SWISS.
I WILL LEAVE THE COUNTRY WITH MY FAMILY TO EXILE IN THE USA (FREE STATES LIKE SOUTH DAKOTA).
IT IS NOW LIKE GERMANY IN 1938, LET’S FLEE BEFORE THEY START EXTERMINATING PEOPLE.

I’d say the voting system is rigged. As it is in the US. As it is in Australia. As it is here in New Zealand, as it is in literally every western nation. They have likely been this way for as long as they’ve been in place.
