Geneva (AFP) - The Swiss look set to vote down a demand to cap immigration in the name of protecting the environment, a poll showed Wednesday, also suggesting two other national referenda would rejected.

 

The so-called Ecopop initiative, which will be put to a vote on November 30, calls for sharp immigration cuts in Switzerland.

 

Launched by a committee of ecologists, it maintains that population growth is placing too much strain on the small Alpine nation's environment.

 

To help rein in over-population beyond Switzerland's borders, it also calls for 10 percent of the country's development aid budget to be dedicated to family planning initiatives abroad.

 

The government, all the political parties, employers and unions have rejected the initiative, slammed by some as xenophobic, and a poll published Wednesday hinted that voters will do the same.

 

The poll, conducted by the grf.bern institute, showed that 56 percent of the more than 1,400 people surveyed planned to reject the plan, while 39 percent aimed to vote "yes".
