The original vote allowing the government to proceed with the purchase was very close, 50.1% for purchasing the F-35s. If they can somehow legally ask the populace again I'd say there's a good chance it is rejected.

    The vote was only if new fighter jets in general should be bought, see here. It was very close though, only 9'000 votes that led to a yes.

    However the left (SP and Greens) are trying to get a referendum about buying the F-35 which I think could be successful given the state of the US and the increased price.
