Switzerland will be the first country in the world to vote on having a national wage of £1,700 a month

    Switzerland is set to vote on a proposal that wants to pay everyone 2,500 Swiss francs (£1,700) a month regardless of whether people are working or not.

    If the plans go through, it will become the first country in the world to provide a basic unconditional monthly income, and they are already the first country to vote on the matter.

    The idea, which has been put forward by a group of intellectuals who insist people will still want to work and get jobs, has not received positive interest from either left and right sided politicians.

I somehow don't see this going through (though that's just a cynical, relatively uneducated opinion) but I would love to see this go through as an experiment.
