According to political scientist Lukas Golder from the gfs.bern research institute, the SP's premium relief initiative was clearly rejected. The "no" vote was clearer than the polls would have suggested.
Golder interpreted the clear "no" on Swiss television SRF on Sunday afternoon by saying that the debate in German-speaking Switzerland had recently been dominated by financial policy. After the Yes to the 13th AHV pension in March, the population realized that the referendum would have had major cost implications.
According to Golder, the expected average turnout did not play into the initiative's hands either. "There was no protest vote." The electorate sided with the government four times.
