BBC: Swiss voters have rejected plans to relax the country's strict naturalisation laws...
The government had said it wanted to make procedures easier, saying too many people were left out of the country's system of direct democracy...
Early polls indicate that the majority of voters were against a plan to give citizenship to Swiss-born children of immigrants.
A second poll on granting citizenship to foreigners raised and schooled in the country was also rejected.

Democracy has no love of immigration, as is shown when it is given any voice on such questions. All the richer societies have sizable welfare features, which the majority can hardly want to share out with the foreigner. Elites want immigration to prove they're not prejudiced, to gain power through easily manipulated ethnic blocs, to throw their labor costs on to the general public, or out of blind malice and nihilstic rage against civilization and prosperous humanity.
