Exactly on topic.

Aren’t the Swiss people about to vote on banning Minarettes?
The Gov’t objects to the ban, but in Swissy land if you get 100k signatures it becomes a by-law or somesuch.

Anybody familiar with Swiss law to correct / confirm that lot?

Much to the consternation of the Swiss government the law will be enacted following the majority vote. Referenda of any sort prove how out of touch governments are with their electorates, which is why the EU fears them so much.
