According to the representative survey published on Wednesday by "20 Minuten" and Tamedia, 56 percent of those surveyed had approved the 4.9 billion Swiss francs for the expansion of national roads at the beginning of October. 42 percent rejected the proposal and 2 percent were undecided. The main argument was that the expansion would reduce traffic jams and thus relieve towns and villages from traffic evasion.
There were no majorities for the other proposals. The first rental proposal (subletting) received 47% yes votes (42% no, 11 undecided). The second rental proposal (owner-occupation) achieved 43% approval (50% no, 7 undecided). The bill on healthcare financing received 38% yes and 38% no votes. 24 percent were undecided.
