Switzerland is set to hold a vote on a proposal to cap the country's population at 10 million, the latest bid by the top right-wing party to limit immigration. Proponents of the initiative, led by the anti-immigration Swiss People's Party that has the most seats in parliament, have tallied enough petition signatures to put the issue on national ballots on 14 June, the government announced on Wednesday. Passage could trigger a new showdown with the rich Alpine country’s European neighbors. The federal statistics office says Switzerland had 9.1 million people as of the end of the third quarter of 2025.

So what happens if the Swiss have kids that outpace population? Like is this the one kid policy like we saw in China?

My luck I would be # 10,000,001

I wonder if they're building gallows for the overflow?

As of early 2025, approximately 72%–73% of inmates in Swiss prisons are foreign

Migration Detainees: Only a small portion (115 out of 6,994 as of Jan 2025) are in administrative detention related to migration procedures.

You let these people in your country then they show their appreciation by robbing, raping, killing the citizens.

Sounds like once they reach the 10 million number no more immigration. Native born okay but immigration is halted.

Switzerland does not have birthright citizenship. Granted it's a mere formality if you're parents are already Swiss citizens, albeit a bit more complicated if you are born outside the country. But migrants can't just give birth in Switzerland and use that.

But I assume Swiss birth rates are falling at the same rates of their European neighbors so they know it is unlikely they will have a problem of too many natives in the future.

Aren't they part of the Schengen zone? They can limit citizenship, but controlling actual population is difficult when you have no true borders.
