    Swiss voters will decide on Sunday whether to abandon their free movement of people agreement with the EU.
    Supporters say the move will allow Switzerland to control its borders and select only the immigrants it wants.
    Opponents argue it will plunge a healthy economy into recession, and deprive hundreds of thousands of Swiss citizens of their freedom to live and work across Europe.
    The justice minister says that would create a situation "worse than Brexit".

    It can't be Swexit in the same way as Brexit because Switzerland isn't a member of the EU - this could even make Brexit worse as Switzerland is one of the few countries Briatian has got a trade deal with and more delays at its border (which can already be long) even worse.

    The vote was to keep the free movement - one of the major factors it seems was that the Swiss have seen how bad Brexit has been and don't want any part of such maddness.
