Swiss Parliament Rejects 20% Gold Reserve Rule

Switzerland already has over 1,000 tons of gold (officially), but this measure would require the SNB to keep 20% of reserves in gold at all times.  The bank and Swiss parliment oppose it, but if 100,000 signatures can be gathered, it will be voted on by the people democratically.
