Ecopop referendum: Swiss \\\'reject immigration curbs\\\'

Voters in Switzerland have decisively rejected a proposal to cut net immigration to no more than 0.2% of the population, partial results suggest.
Data from a majority of the country's 26 cantons show about 74% voting no in Sunday's referendum.
Supporters of the measure argued that it would have reduced pressure on the country's resources. Opponents said it would have been bad for the economy.
Around a quarter of Switzerland's eight million people are foreigners.
The measure would have required the government to reduce immigration from about 80,000 to 16,000 people a year, according to a news agency.
