I totally support this, but not for the current underlying reasons.
It is unhealthy to heat a room above 19 degrees, and you sleep so much better at 17!

If they do the prisons in Switzerland will soon be over filled and they will stop it!

they will sentence people to a number of daily rates (jours amende), which is proportional to one's earnings. Good way to cash in some extra money!

"unhealthy" you say? In this case, why not jail everyone who a) smokes b) eats in McDonalds?
