>
> There are many more votes still to count, but it is clear the initiative cannot pass now.
>
> The Young Socialists, who proposed it, have admitted defeat.
>
> The new rules would have given Switzerland the world's toughest pay rules and some of the lowest executive salaries - which business leaders said would limit foreign investment.
>
> The government was also opposed to the move.
>
> It is the second time this year that Swiss voters have been balloted on the issue.
>
> In March they did back strict limits on bonuses and golden handshakes.

> There has been widespread public anger at revelations that some of Switzerland's chief executives are earning more than 200 times what their employees take home.
