Sep 27 Vote – NO on Neutrality, YES on Food
| Measure | What it is | Our take |
|---|---|---|
| Neutrality Initiative | Popular initiative (needs a double majority). Writes perpetual, armed neutrality into the constitution: no alliances, sanctions only with a UN mandate, no peacetime military cooperation | NO. It would lock Swiss sanctions policy behind Security Council vetoes and end the peacetime security cooperation Swiss defence relies on |
| Food Initiative | Popular initiative (needs a double majority). Constitutional aim of at least 70% net food self-sufficiency, more plant-based production, protected drinking water and soils | YES as a direction-setting vote: the target will likely be missed, and the direction is right |
