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 reductions are the responsibility of the cantons. Personal responsibility and health promotion should be required of citizens
Prämienverbilligungen sind Aufgabe der Kantone. Eigenverantwortung und Gesundheitsförderungen sollten von den Bürgern verlangt werden
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
The costs for the AHV will increase very strongly due to the retirement of the baby boomers. Married couples have lower costs than single persons and thus additional expenses can be avoided.
Die Kosten für die AHV werden durch die Pensionierung der Babyboomer sehr stark steigen. Ehepaare haben geringere Kosten als Einzelpersonen und so können zusätzliche Ausgaben vermieden werden.
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
We can no longer overburden our BVG on the shoulders of the young. Life expectancy will increase again in the coming years, and with it the length of time for which pensions are drawn. - Secure financing is needed.
Wir können nicht länger auf den Schultern der Jungen unsere BVG überbeanspruchen. Die Lebenserwartung wird in den nächsten Jahren nochmals höher werden, und somit die Rentenbezugsdauer. - Es braucht eine sichere Finanzierung.
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
Loss of income is a matter for the social partners and must be negotiated between the employee and the employer.
Erwerbsausfälle sind Sache der Sozialpartner und müssen zw. AN und AG verhandelt werden.
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 a matter for the municipality, not the federal government. -Today too many people treat themselves to an apartment that is "too" big. That is why the rents are too high for the incomes.
Ist Sache der Gemeinde und nicht des Bundes. -Heute gönnen sich zu viele Menschen eine "zu" grosse Wohnung. Darum sind die Mieten zu hoch für die Einkommen.
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
For vaccinations to have an effect, the vast majority must be vaccinated against the respective pathogen. There are medical reasons that make vaccination impossible. However, vaccination is self-determination.
Damit die Impfungen eine Wirkung haben, muss die überwiegende Mehrheit gegen den jeweiligen Erreger geimpft sein. Es gibt medizinische Gründe, welche eine Impfung verunmöglichen. Impfen ist aber Selbstbestimmung.
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
Is not a matter for the state. A sugar tax does not help against obesity and would like to limit sugar consumption through state control. People should exercise more and voluntarily.
Ist nicht Sache des Staates. Eine Zuckersteuer hilft nicht gegen Übergewicht und möchte durch staatliche Lenkung den Zuckerkonsum einschränken. Die Menschen sollen sich wieder mehr und freiwillig bewegen.
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
It leads to personal responsibility. Socially weak persons can be supported by existing measures.
Es führt zu Eigenverantwortung. Sozial schwache Personen können durch vorhandene Massnahmen unterstützt 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
Personal responsibility is the best constraint and the most effective
Eigenverantwortung ist die bester Einschränkung und die effektivste
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 sovereignty should lie with the cantons.
Die Hoheit soll bei den Kantonen liegen.
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
often overwhelms the children and teachers.
überfordert oft die Kinder und Lehrpersonen.
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 baccalaureate rate is too high. There is a lack of technical and social specialists due to the high baccalaureate rate. It undermines the dual education system, the best learning system there is.
die Maturitätsquote ist zu hoch. Es fehlen technische und soziale Fachkräfte aufgrund der hohen Maturitätsquote. Sie unterläuft das duale Bildungssystem, das beste Lernsystem, dass es gibt.
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 creates equal opportunities. But personal responsibility and personal initiatives lead to a strong, resilient society, not all-around state support.
Bildung schafft Chancengleichheit. Aber Eigenverantwortung und Eigeninitiativen führen zu einer starken, widerstandsfähigen Gesellschaft und nicht rundum staatliche Unterstützung.
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
Integration requirements should be maintained. Procedural simplification to be implemented without fail. A Swiss language must be mastered by the candidate. There is no right to naturalization. No longer allow dual citizenship.
Die Integrationsanforderungen sollen erhalten bleiben. Verfahrensvereinfachung unbedingt umsetzen. Eine Schweizer Sprache muss vom Kandidaten beherrscht werden. Es gibt kein Recht auf Einbürgerung. Keine Doppelbürgerschaft mehr ermöglichen.
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
Only if too few skilled workers in technical and social professions a) are trained domestically b) can be recruited from the EU/EFTA area.
Nur, falls zu wenig Fachkräfte in technischen und sozialen Berufen a) im Inland ausgebildet werden b) aus dem EU/EFTA Raum rekrutiert werden können.
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
this is more likely to reduce the pressure on asylum applications in CH/EU.
damit kann der Druck auf Asylanträge in der CH/EU eher reduziert werden.
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 with regard to voting rights. The integration must be accelerated, but in the "fetch principle".
Es soll kein Automatismus geben bzg. Wahl- und Stimmrecht. Die Integration muss beschleunigt werden, aber im "Holprinzip" .
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Cannabis is harmful, much more so than tobacco and alcohol, and more addictive than tobacco and alcohol. It destroys the brain cells.
Cannabis ist schädlich, viel stärker als Tabak und Alkohol und macht stärker abhängig als Tabak und Alkohol. Es zerstört die Gehirnzellen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The decision to die should lie with the person affected and not be transferred to doctors.
Der Entscheid zum Sterben soll beim betroffenen Menschen liegen und nicht auf Ärzte übertragen werden.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Liberal would be if gender did not play a role in as many places as possible.....

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The people have decided.
Das Volk hat entschieden.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The tax burden must not be allowed to rise any further. The federal government should be able to perform its basic tasks. No further new expenditures must be created and unnecessary tasks must be eliminated; tax power will tend to dwindle. Savings must be made.
Die Steuerlast darf nicht weiter steigen. Der Bund soll seine grundsätzlichen Aufgaben wahrnehmen können. Es dürfen keine weiteren neuen Ausgaben geschaffen werden und unnötige Aufgaben gestrichen werden, die Steuerkraft wird tendenziell schwinden. Es muss gespart werden.
Tax married couples individually

|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Tax revenues must not be weakened.

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
No new taxes are needed. The inheritance tax endangers the passing on of operating family businesses. Switzerland as a business location is endangered by job losses.
Es braucht keine neuen Steuern. Die Erbschaftssteuer gefährdet die Weitergabe von operativen Familien-Unternehmen. Der Wirtschaftsstandort Schweiz wird durch Arbeitsplatzverlust gefährdet.
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
Tax competition spurs frugal cantonal fiscal budgeting in the individual cantons.

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
prevents personal responsibility and initiative.
verhindert Eigenverantwortung und Eigeninitiative.
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
Capital requirements yes, Bonus ban no, that must be defined by the shareholders, not the state.
Eigenkapitalvorschriften ja, Bonusverbot nein, dass müssen die Aktionäre definieren, nicht der Staat.
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
In principle, more market leads to more competition and better prices. Liberalization for private households tends to be too complex in the case of electricity, and the benefits for the energy sector or consumers are small. Often, they cannot bear the personal responsibility in this case, because consumers cannot properly assess their risk.
Grundsätzlich gilt: mehr Markt führt zu mehr Wettbewerb und besseren Preisen. Die Liberalisierung für Privathaushalte ist beim Strom tendenziell zu komplex und der Nutzen für die Energiesektor resp. Konsumenten ist klein. Oft können sie in diesem Fall die Eigenverantwortung nicht tragen, da die Konsumenten ihr Risiko nicht richtig einschätzen können.
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
The market is supposed to take care of this. It will only take a few more years until an almost complete balance has taken place.
Der Markt soll dies regeln. Es wird nur noch ein paar Jahre dauert, bis ein beinahe vollständiger Ausgleich stattgefunden hat.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
individual mobility will continue to grow. Traffic jams are fundamentally bad and demotivate/annoy citizens/people. Efficient infrastructure is a core task of the state.
die individuelle Mobilität wird weiter wachsen. Staus sind grundsätzlich schlecht und demotivieren/verärgern Bürger/Menschen. Leistungsfähige Infrastruktur ist eine Kernaufgabe des Staates.
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
The market should regulate it. It must be possible to provide the electricity generated by the additional demand of e-mobiles efficiently and cost-effectively, and the power grids must be expanded.
Der Markt soll es regeln. Die Stromproduktion durch den Zusatzbedarf der e-mobile muss effizient und kostengünstig zur Verfügung gestellt werden können, die Stromnetze ausgebaut sind.
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

Die Menschen in der Schweiz sollen Freude haben im erreichen ihrer Klimaziele. Eigeninitiative und Eigenverantwortung sind die Losung für die Klimaziele.

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
precise analysis of the cost-benefit of the public service is necessary. In rural areas, a "good" and not a "comprehensive" basic service must be guaranteed.
genaue Analyse der Kosten- Nutzen des Service Public ist notwendig. Im ländlichen Raum muss eine "gute" und nicht eine "umfassende" Grundversorgung gewährleistet werden.
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
Leads to de-industrialization. Companies that grow must not be penalized, otherwise they can no longer develop. Energy efficiency must be greatly increased.
Führt zu Desindustrialisierung. Unternehmen, die wachsen dürfen nicht abgestraft werden, sonst können sie sich nicht mehr entwickeln. Die Energieeffizienz muss stark gesteigert werden.

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
Is not feasible everywhere due to water protection requirements and odor emission requirements. Farm animals do not have to have permanent access to the outdoor area, so do pets.
Ist aufgrund von Gewässerschutz Auflagen und Geruchsemmissionsauflagen nicht überall umsetzbar. Nutztiere müssen nicht permanent Zugang zum Aussenbereich haben, so auch die Haustiere.
National territory available for biodiversity conservation
Should 30% of Switzerland's land area be dedicated to preserving biodiversity? [BePart question]

Ban on single-use plastics
Would you support a ban on single-use plastic and non-recyclable plastics? [BePart question]
