Serious legal and ethical questions would arise in this context.

Juso President Ronja Jansen was disappointed. After all, it was not denied in the voting that there was a distribution problem in Switzerland. That’s what we’ll fight for. The Juso is working out another initiative that wants to tax the wealth of the richest more heavily. According to Economiesuisse director Monika Rühl the Swiss did not want to buy a pig in a poke and therefore rejected the 99 percent initiative. It is correct that there is no further taxation.

Against the template Timmy Frischknecht committed, President of the young EDU. Sperm donated children of lesbian couples have no way of developing a relationship with their own father, he said. With this template one looked more at what the adults wanted and less at the children.

For Lukas Golder the yes to marriage for everyone is the continuation of a megatrend from the private to society. They want to be dictated as little as possible. This makes society more colorful and diverse. Above all, the question of sperm donation and not the principle of marriage all polarized. This is a huge change compared to 2005 , than taken a cautious step with the registered partnership has been. Golder did not consider the likely yes share of the vote in the 99 percent initiative to be a respectable success.
12:27 pm
Of the Kanton Aargau with its interim result is in line with the trend calculation in the federal submissions: Yes to marriage for everyone, no to the 99 percent initiative:
The Green National Councilor Regula Rytz regrets the foreseeable No to the 99 percent initiative . The result has become apparent, she said in an interview with SRF. The opponents had not even dealt with the content of the bill, but only criticized the sender – the Young Socialists. But the initiative would have been moderate. Now it is a matter of looking for other ways to promote justice.
Anian Liebrand , the head of the no campaign , spoke to SRF about a fundamental breach of the dam, which is regrettable. At least he was satisfied that the opponents of marriage had one Debate about sperm donation and child welfare could stimulate. In addition, the no-camp could have caught up in the last few weeks. There is no right to a child, said Liebrand. Many people would never have found out in the voting campaign that it was not only about marriage, but also about children.
Of the Political scientist Lukas Golder from the research institute GfS Bern told SRF television that primarily cities and leftists voted for marriage for all. For the 99 percent, Golder reckons with around two thirds no. According to Golder, both results are no surprise. The Federal Council and Parliament are the winners in both cases. Marriage for everyone has met with broad acceptance that would have been unthinkable a few decades ago. The discussion about the two drafts was more relaxed than about drafts like the CO2 law. According to Golder, this means that the authorities are enjoying more trust again. However, this could look different with other proposals such as the vote on the Covid-19 law in November.

It’s a busy Sunday for those interested in politics, and the weather may make some alternatives to news consumption unattractive. So we would like to welcome you to our live reporting on Swiss voting Sunday. Here we keep you informed about the results and reactions to the federal votes on marriage for all and the 99 percent initiative. A first national trend will be available after the polling stations close at 12 noon. We will also briefly report individual results on cantonal or communal ballots here in the afternoon.
The Swiss will of the people will already have manifested itself when the outcome of the Bundestag election begins to emerge in Germany . Forecasts and projections are expected there from 6 p.m. In addition we are also reporting live .
To the starting position
For once, the marriage is not decided in the registry office, but at the ballot box. The Swiss electorate will decide on Sunday whether same-sex couples will be allowed to marry in the future. And it looks like it will say yes, just like Parliament did last December. Representatives of the EDU, the SVP and a few from the middle have called the referendum, so that the bill is now before the people. The opponents want to protect the marriage as a community of man and woman.
For the majority in parliament and presumably also in the people, however, the focus is on homosexuals also in to finally equate this question. According to the surveys in advance the template is widely supported. The only reason the pollsters at GfS Bern did not dare to agree to a yes ahead of time was because a no trend had set in between the two waves of the survey. This is rather unusual for government documents. However, around three weeks before the vote, the situation remained clearly in favor of the advocates of marriage for everyone.

If marriage is actually liberalized, homosexual couples also have the option of adopting children . Lesbian couples also have access to sperm donation in Swiss reproductive clinics. Most countries in Western Europe have long introduced marriage for same-sex couples. The Netherlands had preceded it in 2001. Switzerland has known the registered partnership since 2007, which is equivalent to marriage in terms of taxes or naming rights, but not in terms of access to adoption, reproductive medicine or naturalization.
While the civil code is likely to experience a change on voting Sunday, the federal constitution is likely to remain as it is. In any case, the 99 percent initiative of the Young Socialists is given little chance of acceptance. As is often the case with initiatives, support for this referendum has decreased in the course of the referendum campaign. In the second SRF trend survey, the submission clearly missed the people’s majority, especially since it would also have to take the hurdle of the number of estates in order to be accepted. And for a submission with weak approval in the country, this is significantly higher.
Outside of left strongholds there is hardly any majority for the 99 percent -Initiative to be expected. It got its name from the fact that the initiators the richest percent of Swiss people want to meet in order to combat inequalities. They suggest taxing high capital income more heavily, i.e. profits from dividends, stock market transactions or renting out apartments. The estimated 10 billion Swiss francs that this would bring in are intended to support people with low and middle incomes.
First indications of the outcome of the vote are expected shortly after 12 noon. Then an initial trend calculation from GfS Bern should be available. From 12:30 p.m., the percentage of approval or rejection should also be apparent. We will keep you up to date on the results and reactions live from noon.
