SWITZERLAND [NEWS SERVICE] ⋅ A no trend for the E-ID law, a stalemate with the ban on veiling and approval for the free trade agreement: According to the SRG survey, the proposals from March 7 are developing differently.
(help) If the vote had already taken place on February 14th, the ban on covering up and the free trade agreement with Indonesia would have been adopted and the E-ID law rejected. This is shown by a survey published on Wednesday that the research institute GFS Bern carried out on behalf of the SRG. However, in the main phase of the referendum campaign, all three proposals experienced a polarization of opinion forming towards the no.
For example, the GFS sees a “stalemate in the no-trend” with the ban on veiling: 49 percent would have voted for the initiative in mid-February and 47 percent against, but the no-camp was able to make up ground. At the end of January, 56 percent wanted to vote for the Burka initiative. This means that the trend towards forming an opinion is towards no.
The matter is clearer with the law on the E-ID: A majority of 54 percent wants to vote “definitely” or “more or less” against the law. Only 42 percent want to put a yes in the ballot box. The free trade agreement with Indonesia met with approval in mid-February. 52 percent would have accepted the bill, 41 percent would have rejected it. Here, too, the opponents were able to gain more ground than the supporters with the broad start of the referendum battle.
