Switzerland held a referendum on June 14, 2026, to decide whether to cap its population at 10 million by 2050. Early results showed that Swiss voters rejected the referendum. The referendum was championed by the Swiss People's Party (SVP), which described the population cap as a sustainability initiative. Opponents described the population cap as a recipe for chaos. Critics said the measure could have Brexit-like consequences for the economy and EU relations. The referendum was likened to Britain’s Brexit vote, according to France24.
