Swiss voters have rejected a proposal that would have placed a legal cap on the country’s population, according to final results reported by national broadcaster SRF. The initiative, which aimed to limit Switzerland’s population to 10 million by 2050, was defeated by 54.

If successful, the vote would require the government to put restrictions in place to limit the population by 2050

The referendum is proposing a a limit of 10 million people until 2050 and has divided the country, being dubbed by some as a "Swiss Brexit".
