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, not the federal government.
Die Prämienverbilligungen sind 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, previous marriage bonuses (contribution privileges, widow's pensions and supplements) in the AHV must be reduced or abolished.
Im Gegenzug sind 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 loss of earnings is paid by the employers. Therefore, the social partners (employers and employees) should negotiate a possible increase in benefits.
Die Erwerbsausfälle zahlten die Arbeitgeber. Darum sollen die Sozialpartner (Arbeitgeber und Arbeitnehmer) einen allfälligen Leistungsausbau verhandeln.
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 an eventual task of the municipalities, not the federal government (federalism).
Das ist eine allfällige Aufgabe der Gemeinden, nicht des Bundes (Föderalismus).
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
Self-determination and a personal decision.
Selbstbestimmung und ein persönlicher Entscheid.
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 is an individual choice and it is well known that high sugar consumption is unhealthy.
Essen ist eine individuelle Entscheidung und es ist bekannt, dass hoher Zuckerkonsum ungesund 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
Is already possible today. Freedom of choice in health insurance premiums is to be further expanded. Those who want to should be able to contribute more to the costs. In return, more favorable health insurance premiums can be offered.
Ist heute schon möglich. Die Wahlfreiheit bei der Krankenkassenprämie soll weiter ausgebaut werden. Wer will, soll sich stärker an den Kosten beteiligen können. Dafür können günstigere Krankenkassenprämien angeboten 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
First and foremost, the role of parliament must be strengthened. But: In extraordinary emergencies, the Federal Council always has the possibility to apply emergency law.
Es gilt in erster Linie die Rolle des Parlaments zu stärken. Aber: In ausserordentlichen Notlagen hat der Bundesrat immer die Möglichkeit Notrecht anzuwenden.
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 cantons have a responsibility to cooperate better across their cantonal borders. The competencies should remain at the cantonal level.
Die Kantone sind in der Verantwortung, über ihre Kantonsgrenzen besser zusammenzuarbeiten. Die Kompetenzen 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 reaches its limits in practice: Teachers are overworked to meet the special needs of students. This leads to higher costs without added value.
Das Konzept stösst in der Praxis an Grenzen: Die Lehrkräfte sind überlastet, um auf die besonderen Bedürfnisse der Schülerinnen und Schüler einzugehen. Dies führt zu höheren Kosten ohne Mehrwert.
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
Switzerland is also successful because of its dual education system with vocational apprenticeships and universities of applied sciences.
Die Schweiz ist auch wegen dem dualen Ausbildungssystem mit Berufslehren und Fachhochschulen erfolgreich.
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.
Bildung schafft 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
A certain liberalization is right, but the integration requirements should remain. Naturalization requires integration, which takes time.
Eine gewisse Liberalisierung ist richtig, aber die Integrationsanforderungen sollen erhalten bleiben. Eine Einbürgerung setzt Integration voraus, die ihre Zeit benötigt.
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
Highly qualified workers, who are lacking in individual sectors in Switzerland, should be allowed to work here in limited numbers.
Hochqualifizierte Arbeitskräfte, die in der Schweiz in einzelnen Branchen fehlen, sollen hier in begrenzter Zahl arbeiten dürfen.
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 jedoch 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. Moreover, rights go hand in hand with duties (e.g. military service). Those who want to have a say can become naturalized citizens.
Es soll keinen Automatismus geben. Zudem gehen mit Rechten auch Pflichten einher (z.B. Militärdienst). Wer mitbestimmen will, kann sich einbürgern lassen.
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

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
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
There is already progressive income tax and wealth tax. Moreover, this money has already been taxed by the testators during their lifetime.
Es gibt bereits progressive Einkommenssteuer und die Vermögenssteuer. Zudem wurde dieses Geld zu Lebzeiten bereits von den Erblassern versteuert.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 are regulated privately between employees and employers (social partnership). The liberal labor market is a cornerstone of our successful model.
Löhne und Arbeitsbedingungen werden privatwirtschaftlich zwischen Arbeitnehmer und Arbeitgeber (Sozialpartnerschaft) geregelt. Der liberale Arbeitsmarkt ist ein Grundstein unseres Erfolgsmodells.
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.
Die Credit Suisse Tragödie zeigte, dass die bestehende Regulierung auf ihre Wirkung überprüft und gegebenenfalls angepasst werden muss.
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 usually leads to lower prices and improves the quality of services.
Mehr Wettbewerb führt in der Regel zu tieferen Preisen und verbessert 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Yes to utilization rates, no to less noise abatement.
Ja zu Ausnutzungsziffern, nein zu weniger Lärmschutz.
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 (employers and unions). A state wage police would be a bureaucratic nightmare.
Löhne sind Sache der Sozialpartner (Arbeitgeber und Gewerkschaften). Eine staatliche Lohnpolizei wäre ein bürokratischer Albtraum.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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 do not correspond to a liberal attitude, but combustion engines emit around 38% of Switzerland's CO2 emissions. This must be reduced, especially since there are already alternative drives.
Verbote entsprechen nicht einer liberalen Haltung aber die Verbrennungsmotoren stossen rund 38% der CO2-Emissionen der Schweiz aus. Dies muss reduziert werden zumal es bereits alternative Antriebe gibt.
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 are fundamentally the wrong way to go.
Verbote sind grundsätzlich der falsche Weg.
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
The operating times should be extended as long as the plants are safe. Due to the inevitable decarbonization (e-cars, heat pumps, robots) of our society, the electricity demand in Switzerland will double in the coming years. The massive increase of renewable energies is indispensable, but will be difficult to achieve because of the blockades of left-green environmental associations. Therefore the nuclear power plants should run as long as necessary/possible.
Die Laufzeiten sollen verlängert werden so lange die Anlagen sicher sind. Wegen der unausweichlichen Dekarbonisierung (E-Autos, Wärmepumpen, Roboter) unserer Gesellschaft wird sich der Strombedarf in der Schweiz in den kommenden Jahren verdoppeln. Der massive Zubau von erneuerbaren Energien ist unverzichtbar, wird aber wegen der Blockaden von links-grünen Umweltverbänden schwierig zu erreichen sein. Darum sollen die AKW's solange wie nötig/möglich laufen.
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 ensure good-quality basic services. The question is what "comprehensive" means. The services must have a certain relationship to demand.
Auch in ländlichen Regionen hat der Staat eine qualitativ gute Grundversorgung zu gewährleisten. Die Frage ist, was "umfassend" meint. Die Leistungen müssen einen gewissen Bezug zur Nachfrage aufweisen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 improved selectively. This benefits both the animals and the quality of the products.
Die Standards sind bereits heute hoch, können aber punktuell verbessert 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, however, is the quality of the areas. 30% in the high mountains hardly brings the desired effect.
Entscheidender als eine abstrakte Zahl ist allerdings 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. Such measures are tantamount to market foreclosure in some cases, as products from developing and emerging countries would no longer have to be imported or repackaged at great expense.
Radikale Verbote sind der falsche Weg. Solche Massnahmen kommen punktuell einer Marktabschottung gleich, da Produkte aus Entwicklungs- und Schwellenländer nicht mehr importiert oder aufwändig umgepackt werden müssten.
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 a government task, but the telecom provider.
Das ist aber keine staatliche Aufgabe, sondern der Telekom-Anbieter.
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 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 Identität (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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
It is important that, for example, an entrepreneur does not pay twice (at work and at home).
Wichtig ist, dass z.B. ein Unternehmer nicht doppelt bezahlt (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
If voting age 16 is wanted, then there would have to be a fundamental discussion about the age of consent.
Wenn Stimmrechtsalter 16 gewollt wird, 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
With the spending and debt brake, the federal government already has effective instruments for controlling spending.
Mit der Ausgaben- und Schuldenbremse kennt der Bund bereits wirksame Instrumente zur Steuerung der Ausgaben.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Strengthening cooperation between the Swiss army and NATO
Should the Swiss Armed Forces expand their cooperation with NATO?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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.

Should automatic facial recognition be banned in public spaces?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Comment
Systamatic monitoring is to be rejected. In exceptions, e.g. when crossing the border at customs, this should be possible.
Eine systamatische Überwachung ist abzulehnen. In Ausnahmen, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Foreign trade & foreign policy

Are you in favor of closer relations with the European Union (EU)?

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
The thrust is good but for e.g. a small nursery importing flowers can only control the suppliers abroad to a limited extent.
Der Stossrichtung ist gut aber für z.B. eine kleine Gärtnerei, die Blumen importiert, kann die Zulieferer im Ausland nur begrenzt 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.
Der Bilaterale Weg muss gesichert und weiterentwickelt werden.

Comment
This requires further flexibilization of the retirement age (e.g. working life). Due to the aging society, the AHV will miss billions in the coming years. A reduction in benefits or a VAT increase are much worse alternatives than a moderate increase or an adjustment to the working life.
Es braucht dazu eine weitere Flexibilisierung des Rentenalters (z.B. Lebensarbeitszeit). Aufgrund der alternden Gesellschaft fehlen der AHV in den kommenden Jahre Milliarden. Ein Leistungsabbau oder eine MWST-Erhöhung sind viel schlechtere Alternativen wie eine moderate Erhöhung oder eine Anpassung an die Lebensarbeitszeit.
