民調預測表明 瑞士拒絕基本收入
BBC News – Projections from a referendum in Switzerland suggest voters have rejected a plan to introduce a guaranteed basic income for all.
BBC新聞- 瑞士公投的預測表明, 投票者否決了推行人人享有有保障的基本收入的計劃。
The proposal had called for adults to be paid an unconditional monthly income, whether they worked or not.
該提案呼籲支付給成人無條件的月收入，無論他們工作與否。
Supporters said since work was increasingly automated, fewer jobs were available for workers. Switzerland is the first country to hold such a vote.
支持者說，因爲工作日益自動化，工人能應聘的崗位越來越少。瑞士是第一個舉行這種投票的國家。
No figure for the basic income had been set, but those behind the proposal suggested a monthly income of 2,500 Swiss francs (￡1,755; $2,555) for adults and SFr625 for each child, reflecting the high cost of living in Switzerland. It is not clear how it would affect people on higher salaries.
基本收入的數字並未確定，但支持提案的人提議每月支付成人2500瑞郎（合1755英鎊；2555美元），每個兒童625瑞郎，反映了瑞士的高生活成本。不清楚這會對高薪人羣帶來怎樣的影響。
There was little support among Swiss politicians for the idea and not a single parliamentary party has come out in favour, but the proposal gathered more than 100,000 signatures and was therefore put to the vote under the Swiss popular initiative system.
瑞士政界對此提議和者甚寡，沒有一個議會黨派出面贊成，但提案徵集到超過10萬個簽名，因此在瑞士的全民創制體制下被付諸表決。
Critics of the measure say that disconnecting the link between work done and money earned would be bad for society.
批評這個措施的人說，割斷幹多少活掙多少錢之間的聯繫，對社會不利。
But Che Wagner from the campaign group Basic Income Switzerland, says it wouldn't be money for nothing. "In Switzerland over 50% of total work that is done is unpaid. It's care work, it's at home, it's in different communities, so that work would be more valued with a basic income."
但“瑞士基本收入”活動團體的瓦格納說，這個措施不會是不勞而獲。“在瑞士，全部工作中50%多是無償勞動。護理工作，家務勞動，各個社區中的工作都是，所以有了基本收入，工作會更顯價值。”
But Luzi Stamm, who's a member of parliament for the right-wing Swiss People's Party, opposes the idea. "Theoretically, if Switzerland were an island, the answer is yes. But with open borders, it's a total impossibility, especially for Switzerland, with a high living standard. If you would offer every individual a Swiss amount of money, you would have billions of people who would try to move into Switzerland." he says.
但右翼瑞士人民黨的議員斯塔姆反對提議。“理論上，如果瑞士是個島國，答案是肯定的。但有着開放邊境，就完全不可能，特別是對瑞士這樣生活水平高的國家。如果給每個人發瑞士的錢，就會有幾十億人想要遷入瑞士。”他說。
