Swiss Elections & Politics (Next election 2019)

   I'm wondering exactly what changes will actually come from the immigration initiative passing. What was current law, and how will things be now?

   Time for my obligatory immigration related election question.  Have the parties come up with very pronounced stances about taking any migrants?  Not being in the EU gives the Swiss some cover to avoid the issue perhaps?

   I hope to travel to Europe in a few years, and might want to spend some time in Switzerland (loved it the last time I was there, but that was in a previous century).  If my visit coincided with a referendum campaign, would it be very noticeable to an outsider? I wouldn't plan on just being in the mountainous areas, but also in the towns and cities as well, and would love to get a feel for a national referenda in campaign in action.  I do speak German so that would help in my efforts.
