Only? It's morally wrong and reprehensible, especially when, as the article states, there are less than 50 women in the whole of Switzerland who wear the niqab.

I know and agree that its morally wrong and reprehensible. Was just pointing out that 51% supporting a face covering ban is quite low for Europe now days. The Swiss are probably the most relaxed about face coverings in Western Europe at the moment and they might ban the things if their government doesn't shelve the referendum result. We live in depressing times.

only 51% supported the ban? Sounds like is a lot less racist than some of its neighbouring countries!
Edit: And the UK even. The last large scale opinion poll here found 59% in favour of a ban. Grim.
