Bulletguy Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Switzerland's Supreme Court has overturned the result of a referendum held three years ago on the grounds that information given to voters was insufficient. The poll, held in February 2016, asked the country’s voters whether married couples and cohabiting partners should pay the same tax. Voters narrowly rejected the proposal, with 50.8 per cent against and 49.2 per cent in favour. But the Supreme Court has now voided the result on the grounds that voters were not given full information, and the vote must be rerun. The information provided to the electorate was judged “incomplete” and therefore “violated the freedom of the vote”, the court ruled. Swiss justice in action. ;-) https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/letters/brexit-referendum-switzerland-theresa-may-scotland-independence-roger-scruton-a8865811.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
