Not only Switzerland is currently taking the first steps towards the introductionof an UBI. Finnland, Holland as well as the USA are actively discussing about the introduction of an UBI.
Switzerland will be the first country in the world to take a public vote on the introduction of UBI on 5th June 2016. For the campaign, the “biggest question” on the poster touches one of the main arguments of UBI: A true “walk-away option” to everybody. In the opinion of the Swiss campaign, “everybody should have the right to decide what they want to do with their lives.”
Just an hour ago it is been made official by Guinness World Records: The new record holder in the category “Largest Poster” is Basic Income Switzerland.

ITV Hanes Sturzenegger (Generation Grundeinkommen)
Spoken words (GER): Zum ersten Mal stimmt man auf der Welt über ein bedingungsloses Grundeinkommen ab. Das bringt Fragen mit sich. Die essentielle Frage dieser Initiative ist: Was würdest du tun, wenn für dein Einkommen gesorgt wäre? Über diese Frage möchten wir diskutieren, indem wir sie auf dem grössten Plakat stellen und niemand drum rum kommt.
Translation ENG: It’s the first time that people will vote about an unconditional basic income. The fundamental question of this referendum is: What would you do if your income were taken care of? We want to discuss this question by putting it on the worlds biggest poster so no one can avoid it.
Translation FR: C’est la première fois que les gens votent sur un revenu de base inconditionel. La question essentiel de cette initiative est: Que feriez vous si votre revenu était garanti? En mettant cette question sur la plus grande affiche du monde nous aimerions en discuter.

00:03:11 - 00:03:27
ITV Che Wagner (Generation Grundeinkommen)
Spoken words (ENG): Every inhabitant should get a basic income floor which is payed out unconditionally. So there’s no strings attached to these payments and that’s a very new way of having a social welfare system here in Switzerland.
00:03:27 - 00:04:03
ITV Che Wagner (Generation Grundeinkommen)
Spoken words (ENG): I think this system works because everybody in society, especially in Swiss society, agrees that everybody should have a minimum level of dignity and an income. And I think everybody agrees on that and all we are doing with this initiative is saying „why don’t we pay that unconditionally. Why don’t we trust our citizens to make the best out of their lives. And I think it’s crucial to ask this specific question: What would you work if your income were taken care of? Because that’s the key question of this referendum.
00:04:03 - 00:04:27
ITV Lena Kuhlmann (Guinness World Record Referee)
Spoken words (ENG): Generation Grundeinkommen attempted today the official Guinness World Record title of the largest poster. To beat was the number of 7’164.78 quare meters and Generation Grundeinkommen achieved a number of 8’115.53 square meters and therefore they set a new Guinness World Record title.
