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 is the responsibility of the cantons, not the federal government.
Das ist Aufgabe der Kantone und 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
For compensation, contribution and/or benefit privileges are to be abolished or reduced.
Für die Kompensation sind Beitrags- und/oder Leistungsprivilegien abzuschaffen oder zu reduzieren.
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
In order to be able to secure pensions in the long term and sustainably, adjustments to benefits are needed.
Um die Renten langfristig und nachhaltig sichern zu können, braucht es Anpassungen bei den Leistungen.
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
An extension of benefits is to be negotiated between the social partners. There are already some industries that voluntarily grant maternity leave of 16 weeks or more.
Ein Leistungsausbau soll zwischen den Sozialpartnern ausgehandelt werden. Es gibt ja bereits einige Branchen, die freiwillig einen Mutterschaftsurlaub von 16 oder mehr Wochen gewähren.
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 not the task of the federal government, but of the municipalities. The municipalities know the needs on the ground and can respond adequately.
Das ist nicht Aufgabe des Bundes, sondern der Gemeinden. Die Gemeinden kennen die Bedürfnisse vor Ort und können adäquat reagieren.
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
Whether someone wants to be vaccinated is a personal decision. Comprehensive information is important in order to be able to make a self-determined decision. I welcome the vaccination options in principle, but I like to decide for myself.
Ob sich jemand impfen lassen will, ist eine persönliche Entscheidung. Eine umfassende Informationsmöglichkeit ist wichtig, um selbstbestimmt entscheiden zu können. Ich begrüsse die Impfmöglichkeiten grundsätzlich, entscheide aber gern selber.
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
There are plenty of ways to consume less sugar. Consumers are responsible adults. Clear declarations are a prerequisite for being able to decide which sugar I want to consume.
Es gibt genügend Möglichkeiten, weniger Zucker zu konsumieren. Konsumentinnen und Konsumenten sind mündig. Klare Deklarationen sind eine Voraussetzung, um entscheiden zu können, welchen Zucker ich konsumieren will.
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
In principle, I welcome an expansion of freedom of choice in health insurance premiums.
Ich begrüsse grundsätzlich einen Ausbau der Wahlfreiheit bei den Krankenkassenprämien.
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 role of parliament is to be strengthened. In extraordinary situations, the Federal Council always has the option of applying emergency law.
Die Rolle des Parlaments soll gestärkt werden. In ausserordentlichen Lagen 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
Hospital planning is a matter for the cantons, and rightly so. It is in their interest to cooperate and coordinate more and better in order to reduce any duplication.
Die Spitalplanung ist Sache der Kantone, und das ist richtig so. Es liegt in ihrem Interesse, vermehrt und verbessert zusammenzuarbeiten und sich abzustimmen, um allfällige Doppelspurigkeiten zu vermindern.
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, I welcome integrative education, but I see certain limits in practice. Teachers are often overworked, not all of them have the appropriate training for their jobs, and the shortage of specialists is also noticeable here. In addition, there is a huge administrative burden that does not directly benefit the children.
Grundsätzlich begrüsse ich die integrative Schulung, sehe aber in der Praxis gewisse Grenzen. Lehrpersonen sind oft überlastet, sind nicht alle ihren Anstellungen entsprechend ausgebildet und der Fachkräftemangel ist auch hier spürbar. Dazu kommt ein riesiger Administrationsaufwand, der nicht direkt den Kindern zu gute kommt.
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
This will strengthen the entire education landscape. I'm a fan of the dual education system with a baccalaureate and vocational training with a university of applied sciences or higher technical college.
Damit wird die ganze Bildungslandschaft gestärkt. Ich bin Fan vom dualen Ausbildungssystem mit Matura und Berufslehre mit Fachhochschule oder Höherer Fachschule.
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
Equal opportunities are created through education.
Chancengleichheit wird durch Bildung geschaffen.
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
Simplifying procedures is the right thing to do from a liberal perspective, but the integration requirements should be maintained.
Eine Verfahrensvereinfachung ist aus liberaler Sicht richtig, aber die Integrationsanforderungen sollen erhalten bleiben.
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
There is a shortage of highly qualified workers in various industries. Since the quotas have never been exhausted in recent years, there is no need to increase the quotas despite the shortage of skilled workers.
Hochqualifizierte Arbeitskräfte fehlen in verschiedenen Branchen. Da in den letzten Jahren die Kontingente nie ausgeschöpft worden sind, braucht es trotz Fachkräftemangel keine Erhöhung der Kontingente.
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. The EU is striving to introduce simplified procedures at the Schengen external border for people from safe third countries. Switzerland should join these efforts.
Grundsätzlich sollen Asylverfahren in der Schweiz durchgeführt werden. Die EU ist bestrebt, an der Schengen-Aussengrenze vereinfachte Verfahren für Menschen aus sicheren Drittstaaten einzuführen. Diesen Bestrebungen sollte sich die Schweiz anschliessen.
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
The right to vote and to be elected should go hand in hand with rights and duties. Those who want to have a say should become naturalized citizens.
Das Stimm- und Wahlrecht soll mit den Rechten und Pflichten einhergehen. Wer mitbestimmen will, soll sich einbürgern lassen.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The handling of cannabis is to be regulated similarly to that of alcohol.
Der Umgang mit Cannabis soll ähnlich wie der mit Alkohol geregelt werden.
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
There is a risk of societal pressure being placed on physicians, especially in the context of rising health care costs and growth in the proportion of the elderly population.
Es besteht die Gefahr, dass auf die Ärztinnen und Ärzte ein gesellschaftlicher Druck ausgeübt wird, gerade im Zusammenhang mit den steigenden Gesundheitskosten und dem Wachstum des Anteils der älteren Bevölkerung.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Wherever possible, gender should not play a role at all. I welcome the possibility of dispensing with the entry.
Das Geschlecht sollte, wo immer möglich, gar keine Rolle spielen. Ich begrüsse die Möglichkeit, auf den Eintrag zu verzichten.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In particular, I advocate individual taxation.
Insbesondere setze ich mich für die Individualbesteuerung ein.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This is a great concern for me!
Das ist mir ein grosses Anliegen!
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
Large assets have usually already been taxed several times.
Grosse Vermögen sind in der Regel schon mehrfach besteuert worden.
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
Financial equalization, both at the federal and cantonal levels, is a well-balanced solution that works well and should not be jeopardized under any circumstances.
Der Finanzausgleich ist sowohl auf Bundesebene wie auch auf Kantonsebene eine austarierte Lösung, die gut funktioniert und keinesfalls gefährdet werden soll.
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 be negotiated between employees and employers or by the social partners. The liberal labor market is the basis of Switzerland's success as a model.
Löhne sollen zwischen den Arbeitnehmerinnen und -nehmern sowie den Arbeitgeberinnen und -gebern, resp. durch die Sozialpartner ausgehandelt werden. Der liberale Arbeitsmarkt ist Grundlage des Erfolgsmodells Schweiz.
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
Apparently, the existing regulations were not enough to prevent the CS problems.
Offenbar reichten die bestehenden Regelungen nicht, um die CS-Probleme zu verhindern.
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
Freedom of choice leads to more competition, which in turn leads to lower prices and better services.
Wahlfreiheit führt zu mehr Wettbewerb, dieser wiederum zu tieferen Preisen und besseren 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
This leads to more bureaucracy. Wages are to be negotiated between the social partners. However, awareness-raising is to be continued so that women are no longer disadvantaged.
Das führt zu mehr Bürokratie. Löhne sollen zwischen den Sozialpartnern ausgehandelt werden. Die Sensibilisierung soll aber weitergeführt werden, damit Frauen nicht mehr benachteiligt werden.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Congestion needs to be addressed from both an environmental and economic perspective.
Staus sind sowohl aus ökologischer wie auch aus ökonomischer Sicht zu bekämpfen.
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
Create incentives instead of banning them! It is also important to offer a good charging infrastructure accessible to all.
Anreize schaffen anstatt mit Verboten zu gängeln! Wichtig ist auch eine gute Ladeinfrastruktur für alle zugänglich anzubieten.
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
Incentives promote the acceptance of measures, especially if they can be taken on one's own responsibility. Prohibitions lead to resistance. Therefore, in the long run, more is achieved with incentives.
Anreize fördern die Akzeptanz von Massnahmen, insbes. wenn diese eigenverantwortlich gefällt werden können. Verbote führen zu Widerstand. Deshalb erreicht man langfristig mehr mit Anreizen.
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
It is a trade-off between environmental/landscape protection and renewable energy development.
Es ist ein Abwägen zwischen Umwelt-/Landschaftsschutz und dem Ausbau erneuerbarer Energien.
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 demand for electricity will increase massively in the coming years. First, renewable energies must be promoted and massively expanded. However, since this will probably not be enough, other measures must be openly examined. Gas-fired power plants must be rejected for climate policy reasons. However, safety must come first.
Der Strombedarf wird in den kommenden Jahren massiv steigen. Zuerst sind erneuerbare Energien zu fördern und massiv auszubauen. Da dies aber wahrscheinlich nicht reichen wird, müssen andere Massnahmen offen geprüft werden. Gaskraftwerke sind aus klimapolitischen Gründen abzulehnen. Die Sicherheit muss aber an erster Stelle stehen.
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
Certainly, a basic offer should be guaranteed. But the offer should also correspond to demand and not be expanded simply because it is predetermined.
Sicher soll ein Grundangebot gewährleistet werden. Das Angebot soll aber auch der Nachfrage entsprechen und nicht einfach weil vorgegeben ausgebaut 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
This would weaken the industry and make us even more dependent on foreign countries.
Das würde die Industrie schwächen und uns noch mehr vom Ausland abhängig machen.
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 very high. An increase in the requirements would lead to further farm deaths and thus increase dependence on foreign countries. However, the requirements abroad are generally less strict.
Die Vorgaben für den Erhalt von Direktzahlungen sind bereits sehr hoch. Eine Erhöhung der Anforderungen würde zu einem weiteren Hofsterben führen und dadurch die Abhängigkeit vom Ausland erhöhen. Die Vorgaben im Ausland sind aber in der Regel weniger streng.
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
Animal welfare regulations in Switzerland are already relatively strict and standards are high. Certainly, there is always room for improvement. This can increase animal welfare and the quality of the products.
Die Tierschutzregelungen in der Schweiz sind schon relativ streng und die Standards hoch. Sicher gibt es immer wieder Verbesserungsmöglichkeiten. Damit können das Tierwohl und die Qualität der Produkte gesteigert 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
Many smaller and larger high quality biodiversity areas should be promoted, but a fixed percentage is not reasonable in my opinion.
Es sollen viele kleinere und grössere qualitativ hochstehende Biodiversitätsflächen gefördert werden, aber eine fixe Prozentzahl ist m.E. nicht sinnvoll.
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
Bans are also the wrong way to go here. It would probably be very absurd if goods from abroad had to be repackaged in order to be imported into Switzerland. Promoting recycling and new technologies helps more than radical bans.
Verbote sind auch hier der falsche Weg. Es wäre wohl sehr absurd, wenn Waren aus dem Ausland umgepackt werden müssen, um in die Schweiz importiert zu werden. Recycling und neue Technologien fördern hilft mehr als radikale Verbote.
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
not bans, but apply certain sensible government requirements as needed.
keine Verbote, sondern gewisse sinnvolle staatliche Vorgaben bedarfsgerecht anwenden.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Nationally applicable standards are desirable to ensure compatibility.
National gültige Standards sind wünschenswert, um die Kompatibilität zu gewährleisten.
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 the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?

Comment
If voting and election rights were lowered to 16, the age of consent would also have to be lowered.
Würde das Stimm- und Wahlrecht auf 16 Jahre gesenkt, müsste auch das Mündigkeitsalter gesenkt 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
That could block the system. We have good instruments that can be used effectively (e.g. debt brake).
Das könnte das System blockieren. Wir haben gute Instrumente, die wirksam eingesetzt werden können (z.B. Schuldenbremse).
Security & military
Increasing the size of the army to at least 120,000 soldiers

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]

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 in principle. However, it always depends on the content and the details.
Freihandelsabkommen sind grundsätzlich wichtig. Es kommt aber immer auch auf den Inhalt und die Details an.
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 almost impossible to implement and control.
Das ist kaum umsetz- und kontrollierbar.
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
I am particularly in favor of making the retirement age more flexible. In my opinion, this is a better solution for financing the AHV than increasing the value-added tax or reducing benefits. In the coming years, the AHV will be burdened by a large number of baby boomers and by steadily increasing life expectancy. It cannot be financed solely at the expense of the young.
Ich befürworte insbesondere eine Flexibilisierung des Rentenalters. Dies ist m.E. die bessere Lösung für die Finanzierung der AHV als die Erhöhung der Mehrwertsteuer oder ein Leistungsabbau. In den kommenden Jahren wird die AHV durch sehr viele geburtenstarke Jahrgänge (Babyboomer) sowie durch die stetig steigende Lebenserwartung belastet. Die Finanzierung kann nicht nur auf Kosten der Jungen erfolgen.
