Another major issue which seems to be running into trouble is individual taxation.
The idea - which campaigners have fought for for years - is to end what is commonly called the marriage penalty.
Under the current system, married couples, where both are earning, can end up paying more in tax than if they remained unmarried. But it can be disadvantageous for single earning couples.
Right wing parties are against the plan, saying it works against traditional families.
That message seems to be getting through. Although polls show it has 53% support, it’s sliding and it’s common as the date of the vote approaches support for change becomes weaker.
There are two issues which may go the other way.
Voters seem set to enshrine the use of cash in the constitution and it’s likely they’ll reject the initiative to cut the licence fee to the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation.
Even if that is rejected, the fee will still come down due to a counter proposal that’s already been put forward.
