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
Premium reduction is the responsibility of the cantons, not the federal government.
Prämienverbilligung ist Aufgabe der Kantone, nicht des Bundes.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In return, however, previous marriage bonuses (contribution privileges, widow's pensions and supplements) in the AHV must be reduced or abolished.
Dafür sind aber bisherige Ehe-Boni (Beitragsprivilegien, Verwittwetenrenten und -zuschläge) in der AHV zu reduzieren oder abzuschaffen.
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
Sustainable financing is needed for secure pensions in the long term. A reduction is necessary to stop the current, unplanned redistribution in the 2nd pillar. In the 2nd pillar, every person saves for himself.
Für langfristig sichere Renten braucht es eine nachhaltige Finanzierung. Eine Senkung ist notwendig, um die gegenwärtige, nicht vorgesehene Umverteilung in der 2. Säule zu stoppen. In der 2. Säule spart jede Person für sich selber.
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
The employer and employee should negotiate a possible increase in benefits. Innovative companies can use better benefits as an argument to attract good workers.
Der Arbeitgeber und Arbeitnehmer sollen einen allfälligen Leistungsausbau verhandeln. Innovative Unternehmen können bessere Sozialleistungen als Argumente für sich einsetzen um gute Arbeitskräfte anzuziehen.
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
We have federalism in Switzerland! The promotion of housing construction is the task of the cities/municipalities, not the federal government.
Wir haben Föderalismus in der Schweiz! Die Förderung von Wohnungsbau ist Aufgabe der Städte/Gemeinden, 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 a good thing but a personal choice.
Impfen ist eine gute Sache aber eine persönliche Entscheidung.
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
How I eat is none of the state's business.
Wie ich mich ernähre geht den Staat nichts an.
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
Yes, you should at least have the option to do so: The options for choosing health insurance premiums should be expanded. Those who contribute more to the costs themselves can be offered lower premiums. In general, the individual options for health insurance should be expanded.
Ja, man soll zumindest die Möglichkeit dazu haben: Die Wahlmöglichkeiten bei den Krankenkassenprämien sollen ausgebaut werden. Wer sich stärker selbst an den Kosten beteiligt, dem können tiefere Prämien angeboten werden. Allgemein sollten die individuellen Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten bei der Krankenversicherung ausgebaut werden.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The content of the question is confusing! In emergency situations, the Federal Council always has the possibility of emergency decrees. However, one could strengthen the role of the parliament.
Die Frage ist inhaltlich verwirrend! In Notlagen hat der Bundesrat immer die Möglichkeit zu Notverordnungen. Man könnte allerdings die Rolle des Parlaments stärken.
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
This is a competence of the cantons and should remain so. I welcome, however, if the cantons cooperate more closely in this area or if the federal government supports such cooperation.
Dies ist eine Kompetenz der Kantone und soll auch so bleiben. Ich begrüsse aber wenn die Kantone in diesem Bereich enger zusammenarbeiten oder wenn der Bund solche Zusammenarbeit unterstützt.
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
In principle, this is a good idea, but in practice the system has its limits. Teachers cannot do justice to all students in this way. This is not in the interest of the children.
Im Grundsatz eine gute Idee, in der Praxis stösst das System an seine Grenzen. Lehrer können so nicht allen Schülerinnen und Schülern gerecht werden. Dies ist nicht im Interesse der Kinder.
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
The dual education system with vocational apprenticeships and universities of applied sciences could thus be promoted.
Das duale Bildungssystem mit Berufslehren und Fachhochschulen könnte so gefördert werden.
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
Education promotes equal opportunities.
Bildung fördert Chancengleichheit.
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, which takes time. The requirements should be preserved, but the procedure can be simplified and made sure that it is fait everywhere.
Eine Einbürgerung setzt Integration voraus, die ihre Zeit benötigt. Die Anforderungen sollen erhalten bleiben, hingegen kann man das Verfahren vereinfachen und sicherstellen das es überall fait ist.
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
The third country quotas have not been exhausted in recent years - therefore an increase would not change anything at the moment. But it is clear that the quotas have to be adjusted if Switzerland would get skilled workers from third countries that our economy needs. Here, too, I think it is important that the procedures are simple and efficient.
Die Drittstaatenkontingente wurden in den letzten Jahren nicht ausgeschöpft - daher würde eine Erhöhung im Moment sowieso nichts ändern. Es ist aber klar, dass die Kontingente angepasst werden müssen wenn die Schweiz aus Drittstaaten Fachkräfte bekommen würde die unsere Wirtschaft benötigt. Auch hier ist meines Erachtens wichtig: Die Verfahren müssen einfach und effizient sein.
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
In principle, asylum procedures should be carried out in Switzerland. However, I welcome the EU's efforts to introduce simplified procedures for people from safe third countries at the Schengen external border.
Grundsätzlich sollen Asylverfahren in der Schweiz durchgeführt werden. Ich begrüsse aber die EU-Bestrebungen, welche an der Schengen-Aussengrenze vereinfachte Verfahren für Menschen aus sicheren Drittstaaten einführen wollen.
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
There should be no automatism. Those who want to vote and elect can become naturalized citizens.
Es soll keinen Automatismus geben. Wer abstimmen und wählen will, kann sich einbürgern lassen.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Consumption for private use should be legal. Repression in the fight against addictive substances has not worked. Besides, it's not really the state's business which substances someone consumes privately.
Der Konsum für den Privatgebrauch sollte legal sein. Repression bei der Suchtmittelbekämpfung hat nicht funktioniert. Ausserdem geht es den Staat eigentlich nichts an welche Mittel jemand privat konsumiert.
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
On the other hand, in many places you can omit the gender distinction because it is simply irrelevant.
Hingegen kann man an vielen Orten die Geschlechterunterscheidung weglassen, weil sie schlicht irrelevant ist.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The state should not interfere in the private life model of couples.
Der Staat soll sich nicht in das private Lebensmodell von Paaren einmischen.
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
The FDP has been calling for individual taxation independent of civil status since 1984 and successfully submitted an initiative to this effect in 2022.
Die FDP fordert schon seit 1984 eine zivilstandsunabhängige Individualbesteuerung und hat 2022 eine entsprechende Initiative erfolgreich 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
For high incomes, there are already progressive income taxes and a wealth tax. New taxes are not needed!
Für hohe Einkommen gibt es bereits progressive Einkommenssteuern und eine Vermögenssteuer. Neue Steuern braucht es 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
Already today, more than 5.5 billion francs are redistributed every year in the fiscal equalization system.
Bereits heute werden jedes Jahr über 5,5 Milliarden Franken im Finanzausgleich umverteilt.
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 and working conditions should be regulated between the employee and the employer (social partnership) themselves. The liberal labor market is a cornerstone of our success model! It is not the case that economies with a minimum wage have a better labor market.
Löhne und Arbeitsbedingungen sollen zwischen dem Arbeitnehmer/In und dem Arbeitgeber/In (Sozialpartnerschaft) selbst geregelt werden. Der liberale Arbeitsmarkt ist ein Grundstein unseres Erfolgsmodells! Es ist nicht so, dass Volkswirtschaften mit einem Mindestlohn einen besseren Arbeitsmarkt haben.
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
The Credit Suisse tragedy showed that existing regulation needs to be reviewed for its impact and adjusted if necessary. For me, however, the first priority is to enforce existing regulations before new ones are created.
Die Credit Suisse Tragödie zeigte, dass die bestehende Regulierung auf ihre Wirkung überprüft und gegebenenfalls angepasst werden muss. Im Vordergrund stehen für mich aber zuerst einmal die Durchsetzung bestehender Vorschriften bevor neue geschaffen werden.
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 leads to lower prices and improves the quality of service.
Mehr Wettbewerb führt zu tieferen Preisen und verbessert die Qualität der Dienstleistung.
Make housing construction regulations more flexible
Should housing construction regulations be relaxed (e.g., noise protection, occupancy rates)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
There is no general answer to this question. In view of the real estate market, the regulations should be relaxed (e.g. protection of historical monuments, utilization figures). On the other hand, it does not make sense to relax e.g. noise protection across the board - this must be done selectively.
Dazu gibt es keine pauschale Antwort. Angesichts des Immobilienmarkts sollten die Vorschriften gelockert werden (z.b. Denkmalschutz, Ausnutzungsziffern) Hingegen ist es nicht sinnvoll z.b. den Lärmschutz pauschal zu lockern - dies muss punktuell geschehen.
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 employees and employers. A state wage police would be a bureaucratic disaster and not feasible!
Löhne sind Sache von Arbeitenehmer/In und Arbeitgeber/In. Eine staatliche Lohnpolizei wäre eine bürokratische Katastrophe und nicht umsetzbar!
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Selectively, where it makes sense. This benefits everyone - for example, it is also better for the environment if there is less congestion.
Punktuell, dort wo es Sinn macht. Dies nützt allen - z.b. ist es auch für die Umwelt besser wenn weniger Stau entsteht.
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
Bans are fundamentally the wrong way to go. However, if no more combustion engines are sold in the EU and the electric charging infrastructure develops, the combustion engine will no longer be a viable model in the future.
Verbote sind grundsätzlich der falsche Weg. Werden in der EU aber keine Verbrennungsmotoren mehr verkauft und die Elektro Ladeinfrastruktur sich entwickelt, wird der Verbrennungsmotor in Zukunft keine praktikables Modell mehr sein.
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
Progress is achieved more sustainably, successfully and cheaply via incentives.
Über Anreize erreicht man die Fortschritte nachhaltiger, erfolgreicher und günstiger.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
There is no alternative to the expansion of renewable energies!
Der Ausbau der erneuerbaren Energien ist alternativlos!
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
Openness to technology is a liberal principle. In the event that cost-covering and suitable technologies are possible in the future, we must not prevent them. The alternative, the construction of new gas-fired power plants, is nonsense in terms of climate policy. The massive expansion of renewable energies is indispensable, but can hardly be achieved due to the blockades of left-green environmental associations. However, because there will be more and more e-cars, heat pumps, etc., we will need much more electricity.
Die Technologieoffenheit ist ein liberales Prinzip. Für den Fall das in Zukunft kostendeckende und geeignete Technologien möglich sind, dürfen wir uns diesen nicht verhindern. Die Alternative, der Neubau von Gaskraftwerken, ist klimapolitischer Unsinn. Der massive Zubau von erneuerbaren Energien ist unverzichtbar, ist aber wegen der Blockaden von links-grünen Umweltverbänden kaum zu erreichen. Weil es immer mehr E-Autos, Wärmpumpen etc. geben wird, werden wir aber viel mehr Strom benötigen.
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
Even in rural regions, the state has to guarantee good-quality basic services. Ultimately, it depends on what is meant by "comprehensive". The services must have a certain relationship to demand and be proportionate.
Auch in ländlichen Regionen hat der Staat eine qualitativ gute Grundversorgung zu gewährleisten. Es kommt schlussendlich darauf an, was mit "umfassend" gemeint ist. Die Leistungen müssen einen gewissen Bezug zur Nachfrage aufweisen und verhältnismässig sein.
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
Progressive electricity prices would accelerate deindustiralization and significantly weaken Switzerland or increase foreign dependence on certain products.
Progressive Strompreise würden die Deindustiralisierung beschleunigen und die Schweiz markant schwächen bzw. die Auslandsabhängigkeit von gewissen Produkten erhöhen.
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 for receiving direct payments are already high today. A further restriction would accelerate the death of farms and reduce the degree of self-sufficiency. Switzerland has an interest in a producing agriculture.
Die Anforderungen an den Erhalt von Direktzahlungen sind bereits heute hoch. Eine weitere Einschränkung würde das Hofsterben beschleunigen und den Selbstversorgungsgrad senken. Die Schweiz hat ein Interesse an einer produzierenden 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 standards are already high today, but can be adapted selectively. This benefits the animals as well as the quality of the products.
Die Standards sind bereits heute hoch, können aber punktuell angepasst werden. Das kommt den Tieren wie auch der Qualität der Produkte zugute.
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
More decisive than an abstract number is the quality of the areas. 30% in the high mountains hardly brings the desired effect.
Entscheidender als eine abstrakte Zahl ist die Qualität der Flächen. 30% im Hochgebirge bringt kaum die erwünschte Wirkung.
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
Radical bans are the wrong way to go. In some cases, such measures are tantamount to closing off the market. This could mean that certain products from developing and emerging countries would no longer be allowed to be imported, would have to be repackaged or would be transported in more expensive packaging with a poorer eco-balance. it is important to save plastic where possible, to dispose of and recycle it correctly and at the same time to promote the development of alternatives.
Radikale Verbote sind der falsche Weg. Solche Massnahmen kommen punktuell einer Marktabschottung gleich. Dies könnte bewirken, dass gewisse Produkte aus Entwicklungs- und Schwellenländer nicht mehr importiert werden dürften, extra umgepackt werden müssten oder in aufwendigeren Packungen mit schlechterer Öko-Bilanz transportiert würden. wichtig ist, dass man Plastik dort spart wo es möglich ist, korrekt entsorgt und recycelt und gleichzeitig die Entwicklung von Alternativen vorantreibt.
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
The circular economy is a good thing. But it should be shaped by businesses and also meet their needs. Nevertheless, certain legal guard rails can make sense. However, government measures must not constitute bans.
Die Kreislaufwirtschaft ist eine gute Sache. Doch sie soll durch die Unternehmen geprägt sein und auch ihre Bedürfnisse erfüllen. Dennoch können gewisse gesetzliche Leitplanken Sinn ergeben. Staatliche Massnahmen dürfen aber keine Verbote darstellen.
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
However, this is not the task of the state but of the telecommunications providers.
Das ist aber nicht Aufgabe des Staates sondern der Telekommunikationsanbieter.
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 desirable so that the systems are compatible. One example is the state electronic identity (E-ID).
Gewisse nationale Standards sind wünschenswert, damit die Systeme kompatibel sind. Ein Beispiel ist die staatliche elektronische Identiät (E-ID).
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Swiss regulation of internationally active Internet platforms is simply not feasible.
Eine Schweizer Regulierung von international tätigen Internetplattformen ist schlicht nicht umsetzbar.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The initiative is going in the right direction. It will probably come down to finding a compromise in a counter-proposal by parliament. Above all, it is also important that no one pays twice: e.g. in the company and in the private household.
Die Initiative geht in die richtige Richtung. Vermutlich wird es darauf hinauslaufen, in einem Gegenvorschlag des Parlaments einen Kompromiss zu finden. Wichtig ist vor allem auch, dass niemand doppelt bezahlt: z.B. im Betrieb und im Privathaushalt.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The attainment of majority should be the yardstick for the voting age. If the voting age of 16 is desired, then a fundamental discussion about the age of consent would have to be held.
Das Erreichen der Mündigkeit sollte der Massstab für das Stimmrechtalter sein soll. Wenn Stimmrechtsalter 16 gewollt ist, dann müsste eine grundsätzliche Diskussion über das Mündigkeitsalter geführt werden.
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 debt and spending brake is the right instrument for this.
Dafür ist die Schulden- und Ausgabebremse das richtige Instrument.
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
In order for the Armed Forces to fulfill their constitutional mandate, the Armed Forces budget must be increased to 7 billion Swiss francs and the target number of troops to 120,000.
Damit die Armee ihren Verfassungsauftrag erfüllen kann, muss das Armeebudget auf 7 Milliarden Franken und der Sollbestand auf 120'000 Angehörige der Armee erhöht werden.
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
Stronger cooperation is important for Switzerland's security and an appropriate contribution to the common defense in Europe should also be made by Switzerland. Stronger participation also strengthens the capabilities of the armed forces and ensures that we can keep pace with developments in the long term, which is to our benefit.
Eine stärkere Zusammenarbeit ist für die Sicherheit der Schweiz wichtig und ein angemessener Beitrag zur gemeinsamen Verteidigung in Europa sollte auch die Schweiz leisten. Eine stärkere Partizipation bei stärkt auch die Fähigkeiten der Armee und sichert uns langfristig mit den Entwicklungen mitzuhalten, dies kommt uns zugute.
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 not block re-exports to Western democracies as long as they have an export control system comparable to ours. With a change of system, as proposed by the FDP, the problem would be solved.
Die Schweiz soll den Reexport an westliche Demokratien nicht blockieren, solange diese über ein Exportkontrollsystem verfügen, das mit unserem vergleichbar ist. Mit einer Systemänderung, wie von der FDP vorgeschlagen, wäre das Problem gelöst.
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 monitoring is to be rejected. This should be possible on a selective basis, e.g. when crossing the border at customs.
Eine systematische Überwachung ist abzulehnen. Punktuell, z.B. beim Grenzübertritt am Zoll, soll dies möglich sein.
Denounce the Schengen Agreement and strengthen border controls
Should Switzerland terminate the Schengen agreement with the EU and reintroduce more security checks directly on the border? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The Schengen/Dublin Agreement creates security (Schengen Information System) and prevents Switzerland from becoming a magnet for asylum seekers from the EU.
Das Schengen/Dublin Abkommen schafft Sicherheit (Schengener Informationssystem) und verhindert, dass die Schweiz zum Magneten für Asylbewerber aus der EU wird.
Foreign trade & foreign policy
Seek closer relations with the EU
Are you in favor of closer relations with the European Union (EU)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The bilateral path must be secured and further developed.
Der Bilaterale Weg muss gesichert und weiterentwickelt werden.
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! Of course, it is always necessary to assess the concrete outcome of negotiations (selective exceptions for sensitive products, etc.).
Freihandelsabkommen sind wichtig! Selbstverständlich gilt es immer das konkrete Verhandlungsergebnis zu beurteilen (Punktuelle Ausnahmen für sensible Produkte etc.)
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 is far too extreme. A small nursery that imports flowers cannot control the suppliers abroad.
Das ist viel zu extrem. Eine kleine Gärtnerei, die Blumen importiert, kann die Zulieferer im Ausland nicht kontrollieren.
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 secured and further developed in the interest of Switzerland.
Der Bilaterale Weg muss gesichert und weiterentwickelt werden, im Interesse der Schweiz.
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, but must serve Switzerland's security and foreign policy.
Die Neutralität ist kein Selbstzweck, sondern muss der Sicherheit und der Aussenpolitik der Schweiz dienen.

One does not work without the other. Without punishment, society would not accept reintegration, but without reintegration, punishment has no meaning. Reintegration is indispensable and must begin in prison.

There is no contradiction between economy and ecology. Every investment in technology, heat insulation or sustainable processes is also economic growth. Efficient production, for example, also means conserving resources, which benefits the environment. For me, an efficient economy is also an environmentally friendly economy.
Es gibt keinen Widerspruch zwischen Wirtschaft und Ökologie. Jede Investition in Technologie, Wärmedämmung oder nachhaltige Prozesse ist auch Wirtschaftswachstum. Effizient z.b. in der Produktion bedeutet auch Ressourcenschonend zu arbeiten, dies kommt der Umwelt zugute. Eine effiziente Wirtschaft ist für mich auch eine Umweltschonende Wirtschaft.

Agriculture must be liberalized and regulations dismantled. This will allow farmers to earn more from the sale of their products. Direct payments are to be reduced.

At the very least, the retirement age needs to be made more flexible (e.g. working life). Due to the aging society, the AHV will miss billions in the coming years. There are basically 3 levers to bring the AHV into balance: 1. lower pensions 2. more contributions 3. a moderate increase of the retirement age (or an adjustment to the working life). Lower pensions and higher contributions are not desirable alternatives.
Es braucht mindestens eine weitere Flexibilisierung des Rentenalters (z.B. Lebensarbeitszeit). Aufgrund der alternden Gesellschaft fehlen der AHV in den kommenden Jahre Milliarden. Es gibt grundsätzlich 3 Stellschrauben um die AHV ins Gleichgewicht zu bringen: 1. Tiefere Renten 2. Mehr Einzahlen 3. Eine moderate Erhöhung des Rentenalters (oder eine Anpassung an die Lebensarbeitszeit) Tiefere Renten und höhere Beiträge sind keine wünschenswerten Alternativen.
