Welfare state & family
Raise the retirement age to 67
Do you support an increase in the retirement age (e.g., to 67)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Health insurance premiums
Should the federal government allocate more funding for health insurance premium subsidies?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This would be an encroachment on the sovereignty of the cantons, which are responsible for premium reductions.
Das wäre ein Eingriff in die Hoheit der Kantone, die für die Prämienverbilligung zuständig sind.
Pensions for married couples
For married couples, the pension is currently limited to 150% of the maximum individual AHV pension (capping). Should this limit be eliminated?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Reduce LPP pensions
As part of the reform of the BVG (occupational pension plan), pensions are to be reduced (lowering the minimum conversion rate from 6.8% to 6%). Are you in favor of this measure?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The reduction should at least be aimed at for the period until the redistribution in the 2nd pillar, which is currently taking place but was not planned in this way, can be stopped. Only in this way can pensions be financed in a sustainable, long-term and secure manner.
Die Senkung ist zumindest für den Zeitraum anzustreben, bis die im Moment stattfindende aber so nicht vorgesehene Umverteilung in der 2. Säule gestoppt werden kann. Nur so können die Renten nachhaltig, langfristig und sicher finanziert werden.
Extend parental leave
Should paid parental leave be increased beyond today's 14 weeks of maternity leave and two weeks of paternity leave? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
A better compatibility of family and career contributes to eliminating the shortage of skilled workers and strengthens Switzerland as a business location.
Eine bessere Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf trägt zur Beseitigung von Fachkräftemangel bei und stärkt den Wirtschaftsstandort Schweiz.
Further encourage the construction of social housing
Should the federal government provide more financial support for public housing construction? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This is the responsibility of the municipalities, not the federal government.
Dies ist die Aufgabe der Gemeinden und nicht des Bundes.
Health
Introduce compulsory vaccination for children
Should compulsory vaccination of children be introduced based on the Swiss vaccination plan?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Vaccination is useful and prevents the spread of dangerous diseases, but it is and remains a private matter. Convincing someone with arguments is much better than coercion.
Impfen ist sinnvoll und verhindert Ausbreitung von gefährlichen Krankheiten, doch es ist und bleibt eine Privatsache. Jemanden mit Argumenten zu überzeugen ist viel besser als Zwang.
Introduce a tax on sugary foods
Are you in favor of the introduction of a tax on foods containing sugar (sugar tax)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Eating behavior is a private decision that even a punitive tax is unlikely to influence.
Das Essverhalten ist eine private Entscheidung, die auch mit einer Strafsteuer kaum zu beeinflussen ist.
Contribution to healthcare costs
Should insured persons contribute more to health care costs (e.g., increase the minimum deductible)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The greater freedom of choice in health insurance premiums is to be further expanded, on a voluntary basis of course.
Die höhere Wahlfreiheit bei den Krankenkassenprämien soll weiter ausgebaut werden, natürlich auf freiwilligen Basis.
Limit the powers of the Federal Council in the event of a pandemic
Should the Federal Council's ability to restrict private and economic life in the event of a pandemic be more limited?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Federal competence for national hospital planning
Should the federal government be given the authority to determine the hospital offering (national hospital planning with regard to locations and range of services)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The competencies must and should remain at the cantonal level.
Die Kompetenzen müssen und sollen auf kantonaler Ebene bleiben.
Education
Inclusive schooling
According to the Swiss integrated schooling concept, children with learning difficulties or disabilities should be taught in regular classes. Do you approve of this concept?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The concept, which is welcome in itself, reaches its limits in practice. The result is overworked teachers who cannot respond to the special needs of the children.
Das an sich begrüssenswerte Konzept stösst in der Praxis an seine Grenzen. Das Ergebnis sind überlastete Lehrkräfte, die nicht auf die speziellen Bedürfnisse der Kinder eingehen können.
Tighten the requirements for obtaining a high school diploma
Should the federal government raise the requirements for the gymnasiale matura?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
On the one hand, this raises the level of students at universities, and on the other hand, it strengthens our successful model, the dual education system.
Einerseits wird das Niveau der Studierenden an den Universitäten hierdurch erhöht, andererseits wird unser Erfolgsmodel, das duale Bildungssystem gestärkt.
Equal opportunities in education
Should the state be more committed to equal educational opportunities (e.g., through subsidized remedial courses for students from low-income families)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
It is an investment in equal opportunity and the future.
Es ist eine Investition in die Chancengleichheit und Zukunft.
Immigration & integration
Make naturalization requirements more flexible
Should the conditions for naturalization be relaxed (e.g., shorter residence period)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Naturalization requires integration and this basically takes time. A certain simplification of the procedure should be possible without lowering the integration requirements.
Eine Einbürgerung setzt Integration voraus und diese benötigt grundsätzlich ihre Zeit. Eine gewisse Verfahrensvereinfachung soll möglich sein ohne aber die Integrationsanforderungen herunterzuschrauben.
Increase the quota of third-country nationals for skilled workers
Should more qualified workers from non-EU/EFTA countries be allowed to work in Switzerland (increase third-country quota)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In recent years, the quotas have never been exhausted. This shows that the shortage of skilled workers is not necessarily caused by this.
In den letzten Jahren wurden die Kontingente nie ausgeschöpft. Das zeigt, dass der Fachkräftemangel nicht unbedingt dadurch verursacht wird.
Asylum procedures outside Europe
Do you support efforts to house asylum seekers in centers outside Europe during the asylum procedure?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
However, the EU should have the possibility to introduce simplified border procedures at the Schengen external border for people from safe third countries.
Die EU soll aber die Möglichkeit haben, an der Schengen-Aussengrenze vereinfachte Grenzverfahren für Menschen aus sicheren Drittstaaten einzuführen.
Voting rights for foreigners
Should foreign nationals who have lived in Switzerland for at least ten years be granted the right to vote and stand for election at the municipal level?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Rights go hand in hand with duties, e.g. military service. Anyone who wants to have a say should become a naturalized citizen and thus make a conscious commitment to the values of Switzerland.
Mit Rechten gehen auch Pflichten, z.B. Militärdienst einher. Wer mitbestimmen will, soll sich einbürgern lassen und sich so bewusst zu den Werten der Schweiz bekennen.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Authorize active euthanasia
Would you be in favour of doctors being allowed to administer direct active euthanasia in Switzerland?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
It would be truly liberal if gender no longer played a role in as many areas of our lives as possible.
Wirklich liberal wäre, wenn das Geschlecht in möglichst vielen Bereichen unseres Lebens keine Rolle mehr spielen würde.
Equality between same-sex and heterosexual couples
Do you think it's right for same-sex couples to have the same rights as heterosexual couples in all areas?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Finances & taxes
Reduce taxes at the federal level
Do you support tax cuts at the federal level over the next four years?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Taxation independent of civil status has been a concern for the FDP since 1984. In 2022, the FDP successfully submitted the initiative for individual taxation.
Die zivilstandsunabhängige Besteuerung ist schon seit 1984 für die FDP ein Anliegen. 2022 hat die FDP erfolgreich die Initiative zur Individualbesteuerung eingereicht.
Introduce a national inheritance tax
Would you support the introduction of a national inheritance tax on all inheritances over one million Swiss francs? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
New taxes are really not needed.
Neue Steuern braucht es wirklich nicht.
Strengthen financial equalization between the cantons
Should the differences between cantons with high and low financial capacity be further reduced through fiscal equalization?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The level of financial equalization is already sufficiently high at CHF 5.5 billion per year.
Der Umfang von Finanzausgleich ist mit 5,5 Milliarden Franken jährlich bereits genügend hoch.
Economy & labour
Introduce a national minimum wage of CHF 4,000
Are you in favor of introducing a minimum wage of CHF 4,000 for all full-time employees?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Wages should continue to be regulated by the private sector.
Löhne sollen auch weiterhin privatwirtschaftlich geregelt werden.
Regulate the financial sector more strictly
Do you support stricter regulations for the financial sector (e.g., stricter capital requirements for banks, ban on bonuses)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Existing rules and regulations should be reviewed for their impact and take into account the global networking of our economy. But here, too, the rule is only as much as necessary.
Die bestehenden Regulierungen und Vorschriften sollen auf ihre Wirkung überprüft werden und der weltweiten Vernetzung unserer Wirtschaft Rechnung tragen. Aber auch hier gilt, nur so viel wie nötig.
Liberalizzare completamente il mercato dell'elettricità
Should private households be free to choose their electricity supplier (complete liberalization of the electricity market)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
More competition promotes the quality of services.
Mehr Wettbewerb fördert die Qualität der Dienstleistungen.
Make housing construction regulations more flexible
Should housing construction regulations be relaxed (e.g., noise protection, occupancy rates)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Wage equality between women and men
Are you in favor of stricter controls on equal pay for women and men?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Wages are a matter for the social partners.
Löhne sind Sache der Sozialpartner.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Our economy needs a good and efficient infrastructure.
Unsere Wirtschaft braucht eine gute und leistungsfähige Infrastruktur.
Ban new registrations of combustion engine vehicles from 2035
Should Switzerland ban the registration of new passenger cars with internal combustion engines starting in 2035?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Incentives are always preferable to bans. In addition, considerable investments still need to be made in the nationwide charging infrastructure.
Anreize sind immer den Verboten vorzuziehen. Zudem müssen noch erhebliche Investitionen in die flächendeckende Ladeinfrastruktur getätigt werden.
Achieve climate targets through incentives
To achieve climate targets, should incentives and target agreements be relied on exclusively, rather than bans and restrictions?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Bans and punitive taxes in this area are not compatible with a liberal society.
Verbote und Strafsteuern in diesem Bereich sind mit einer freiheitlichen, liberalen Gesellschaft nicht zu vereinbaren.
Make the rules for renewable energy less strict
Do you think it's fair that environmental and landscape protection rules are being relaxed to allow for the development of renewable energy?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Authorize the construction of new nuclear power plants
Should the construction of new nuclear power plants in Switzerland be allowed again?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
A legal ban on new construction is not right. It does not take into account the latest research, which shows us that there will also be safe technologies for the use of nuclear power in the future, which could help us to cover our increased electricity demand. Politically controlled technology bans are problematic and harm Switzerland as a business and research location.
Ein gesetzliches Neubauverbot ist nicht richtig. Es berücksichtigt nicht die neueste Forschung, die uns aufzeigt, dass es bei der Nutzung der Atomkraft in der Zukunft auch sichere Technologien geben wird, die uns helfen könnten unseren erhöhten Strombedarf zu decken. Politisch gesteuerte Technologieverbote sind problematisch und schaden dem Wirtschafts- und Forschungsstandort Schweiz.
Ensure a comprehensive range of public services
Should the state guarantee a comprehensive public service offering also in rural regions?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
However, the services must have some relation to demand.
Die Leistungen müssen aber einen gewissen Bezug zur Nachfrage haben.
Introduce progressive electricity tariffs
Would you be in favor of the introduction of increasing electricity tariffs when consumption is higher (progressive electricity tariffs)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This would lead to a deterioration of the framework conditions for our economy and the weakening of Switzerland as a business location. Every franc we want to spend on social welfare, sports and culture must first be earned in the economy.
Dies würde zur Verschlechterung von Rahmenbedingungen für unsere Wirtschaft und der Schwächung von Wirtschaftsstandort Schweiz führen. Jeder Franken den wir für Soziales, Sport und Kultur ausgeben wollen, muss zuerst in der Wirtschaft verdient werden.
Nature conservation
Making provisions for the protection of large predators more flexible
Are you in favor of further relaxing the protection regulations for large predators (lynx, wolf, bear)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The requirements are already very high today. Switzerland needs a producing agriculture.
Die Anforderungen sind bereits heute sehr hoch. Die Schweiz braucht eine produzierende Landwirtschaft.
Introduction of stricter rules on the protection of farm animals
Are you in favour of stricter animal welfare regulations for livestock (e.g. permanent access to outdoor areas)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The regulations are already very strict, but they can be adapted selectively.
Die Regelungen sich schon heute sehr streng, sie können aber punktuell angepasst werden.
National territory available for biodiversity conservation
Should 30% of Switzerland's land area be dedicated to preserving biodiversity? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The decisive factor is the quality and not the quantity of the area.
Entscheidend ist die Qualität und nicht die Quantität der Fläche.
Ban on single-use plastics
Would you support a ban on single-use plastic and non-recyclable plastics? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Incentive systems are preferable to prohibitions.
Anreizsysteme sind Verboten vorzuziehen.
More sustainable use of electronic devices
Are you in favour of government measures to make the use of electronic devices more sustainable (e.g., right to repair, extension of warranty period, minimum guaranteed period for software updates)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Circular economy is a sensible thing, certain government guidelines can contribute to its success. The economy should not be burdened with new excessive bureaucratic processes.
Kreislaufwirtschaft ist eine sinnvolle Sache, gewisse staatliche Leitlinien können zum Erfolg beitragen. Die Wirtschaft soll nicht mit neuen überbordenden bürokratischen Prozessen belastet werden.
Democracy, Media & Digitization
Mobile phone network (5G)
Should the Swiss mobile network be equipped throughout the country with the latest technology (currently 5G standard)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Yes, but it is not a task of the state but of companies from the mobile communications industry.
Ja, es ist aber keine Aufgabe des Staates sondern von Unternehmen aus der Mobilfunkbranche.
Digitizing public services
Should the federal government be given additional powers in the area of digitization of government services in order to be able to impose binding directives and standards on the cantons?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Certain national standards are necessary for system compatibility.
Für Systemkompaktibilität sind gewisse nationale Standards notwendig.
Strengthening regulation of big internet platforms
Are you in favor of stronger regulation of the major Internet platforms (i.e., transparency rules on algorithms, increased liability for content, combating disinformation)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Lowering TV and radio license fees
A popular initiative aims to reduce television and radio fees (CHF 200 per household, exemption for businesses). Do you support this initiative?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Young people already have good opportunities for participation. Reaching the age of consent should be the yardstick for the voting age. If you want to lower the voting age, you have to talk about lowering the age of consent with all the consequences that entails.
Die Jugendlichen verfügen bereits heute über gute Partizipationsmöglichkeiten. Das Erreichen der Mündigkeit soll der Massstab für das Stimmrechtsalter sein. Wenn man das Stimmrechtsalter senken will, muss man über die Senkung des Mündigkeitsalter sprechen mit allen damit einhergehenden Konsequenzen.
Introducing an optional financial referendum against federal spending
Should it be possible to hold a referendum on federal spending above a certain amount (optional financial referendum)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The federal government already has effective tools to control spending.
Der Bund verfügt bereits über wirksame Instrumente zur Ausgabensteuerung.
Security & military
Increasing the size of the army to at least 120,000 soldiers
Are you in favor of expanding the army's target number of soldiers to at least 120,000?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The war in Ukraine, as well as the numerous cyber attacks on our infrastructures, have shown us that we must actively defend our values and security. For this reason, not only should the army's target number be increased to 120,000, but also the budget. Only in this way can the armed forces fulfill their constitutional mandate.
Der Krieg in Ukraine, sowie die zahlreichen Cyber-Angriffe auf unsere Infrastrukturen haben uns vor Augen geführt, dass wir unsere Werte und Sicherheit aktiv verteidigen müssen. Deshalb soll nicht nur der Armee-Sollbestand auf 120 000 Armeeangehörige sondern auch das Budget erhöht werden. Nur so kann die Armee ihren Verfassungsauftrag erfüllen.
Strengthening cooperation between the Swiss army and NATO
Should the Swiss Armed Forces expand their cooperation with NATO?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Closer cooperation should be sought to strengthen our security. However, accession must be clearly rejected.
Eine engere Zusammenarbeit ist für die Stärkung unserer Sicherheit anzustreben. Ein Beitritt ist aber klar abzulehnen.
Re-export of Swiss weapons
Should the Federal Council be allowed to authorize other states to re-export Swiss weapons in cases of a war of aggression in violation of international law (e.g., the attack on Ukraine)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Switzerland should allow re-exports to Western democracies if they have an export control system that corresponds to our values. The system change as proposed by the FDP would solve the problem.
Die Schweiz soll die Wiederausfuhr an westliche Demokratien erlauben, wenn diese über ein Exportkontrollsystem verfügen, das unseren Werten entspricht. Die Systemänderung, wie sie die FDP vorgeschlagen hat, würde das Problem lösen.
Scumonda da visar automaticamain la fatscha en locals publics
Should automatic facial recognition be banned in public spaces?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Systematic surveillance is not compatible with our liberal values. But at particularly exposed locations, such as border crossings, this should be possible with appropriate indications.
Eine systematische Überwachung ist mit unseren freiheitlichen Werten nicht vereinbar. Aber an besonders exponierten Orten wie etwa Grenzübergängen, soll dies mit entsprechenden Hinweisen möglich sein.

Der bilaterale Weg muss gesichert und partnerschaftlich entwickelt werden. Einen Beitritt lehne ich aber ab.
Seek a comprehensive free trade agreement with the United States
Should Switzerland strive for a comprehensive free trade agreement (including agriculture) with the USA?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Free trade agreements are important for our export-oriented economy. However, we must be allowed to protect certain sensitive products and agricultural produce.
Freihandelsabkommen sind für unsere exportorientierte Wirtschaft wichtig. Allerdings muss man gewisse sensible Produkte und Agrarprodukte schützen dürfen.
Comply with social and environmental standards
Should Swiss companies be obliged to ensure that their subsidiaries and suppliers operating abroad comply with social and environmental standards?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This would be a bureaucratic nightmare that some smaller companies would not even be able to comply with.
Das wäre ein bürokratischer Alptraum, dem einige kleinere Firmen gar nicht nachkommen können.
Terminate bilateral agreements with the EU
Should Switzerland terminate the Bilateral Agreements with the EU and seek a free trade agreement without the free movement of persons?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The bilateral path must be safeguarded and further developed in partnership.
Der bilaterale Weg muss gesichert und partnerschaftlich weiterentwickelt werden.
Return to a strict interpretation of neutrality
Should Switzerland return to a strict interpretation of neutrality (renounce economic sanctions to a large extent)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Neutrality is not an end in itself. It should serve the security of Switzerland.
Die Neutralität ist kein Selbstzweck. Sie soll der Sicherheit der Schweiz dienen.

Individual performance and individual responsibility must be worthwhile. However, the state should finance certain services (schools, defense, railroad infrastructure) that benefit everyone.

Comment
Due to increasing life expectancy, we must not close our minds to certain flexibilization of the retirement age. The alternatives to this, such as benefit cuts or further VAT increases, are much worse in the end than a moderate adjustment of the retirement age.
Auf Grund der steigenden Lebenserwartung darf man sich gewisser Flexibilisierung des Rentenalters nicht verschliessen. Die Alternativen dazu wie Leistungsabbau oder weitere MWST-Erhöhung sind im Ergebnis viel schlechter als eine moderate Anpassung des Rentenalters.
