The counterproposal put forward by the Parliament was rejected.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt\" lang=\"EN-GB\">The results of the election which called the Swiss people to vote show that the initiative supported by the conservative right wing (the <b>UDC <\/b>party) divided the population, 52.9% voted &ldquo;Yes&rdquo; (1,398,360 votes), and 47.1% voted &ldquo;No&rdquo; (1,243,325 votes).

And any foreigners that have <b>unduly received welfare or social security<\/b> will suffer the same end.
