I was talking about a revote because I think that too much people voted thinking: yeah less foreigners sounds good and had no idea of the possible consequences if the swiss diplomats didn't work a miracle
As a swiss this saddens me but I think the EU is right to use the big guns because free movement is the foundation of the EU. If the swiss get an exception it would be hard to deny it to other states. "Unfair ! I also want to restrict the number of polish going in my country"
I think that the swiss government should focus on punishing salary-dumping because that's what most people are afraid of when they think of foreigners: he's going to do my job for less money. I heard it's a big problem in Tessin.
Firms should be able to hire anyone they want but they should give them a swiss salary, swiss or not and pay a big fine if they don't.

How exactly would you "punish" this (or otherwise prevent it)? I mean, it happens due to market dynamics, so it's either salary dumping, no free movement of people, or no capitalism!

This. I hope all countries will take this challenge seriously. It ties in with the whole challenge of inequality splitting our societies.
