Foreigner Tax

The problem with this is that 25% of the Swiss population are foreigners (like myself), most of which dont have any vote on this matter.

But yet we are expected to pay an exorbitant fee to subsidize a bloated TV system which broadcast esoteric content for a multitude of small regions and several languages in which we no interest.

These days are gone of national TV taxes. One should be able to pay for the content we want to watch.

Let the 75% of real Swiss who want this keep paying for their content under subscription, and let the rest of us 25% pay for our Netflix and Sky subscriptions.
