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
Instead of further premium reductions, the unchecked rise in healthcare costs must be curbed. The rapid introduction of transparent and uniform financing of inpatient and outpatient services, genuine digitalization and a reduction in bureaucracy must be sought. There is also a need for hospital planning that ensures basic care in the immediate vicinity - with highly specialized cutting-edge medicine only available at suitable locations.
Anstelle weiterer Prämienverbilligungen ist der ungebremste Anstieg der Gesundheitskosten einzudämmen. Die rasche Einführung der transparenten und einheitlichen Finanzierung stationärer und ambulanter Leistungen, echte Digitalisierung und Bürokratieabbau sind anzustreben. Auch braucht es eine Spitalplanung, welche die Grundversorgung in unmittelbarer Nähe sicherstellt - Angebot hochspezialisierter Spitzenmedizin nur an geeigneten Standorten.
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
Equality with unmarried couples must be established. In return, other marriage bonuses would have to be corrected (e.g. widow's pension).
Die Gleichstellung zu unverheirateten Paaren ist herzustellen. Im Gegenzug müssten andere Ehe-Boni korrigiert werden (z.B. Witwenrente).
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 to ensure secure pensions in the long term. The "reduction in benefits" should be compensated and the entry threshold for part-time workers lowered.
Für langfristig sichere Renten braucht es eine nachhaltige Finanzierung. Der "Leistungsabbau" soll kompensiert und die Eintrittsschwelle für Teilzeitarbeitende gesenkt werden.
Extend parental leave
Should paid parental leave be increased beyond today's 14 weeks of maternity leave and two weeks of paternity leave? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Employers pay for the loss of income! Parental leave does not solve the shortage of skilled workers or the work-life balance. Long-term solutions are needed, such as flexible care models that are available and affordable and allow both parents to work. The volume of work increases by more than 40% per childcare place.
Die Erwerbsausfälle zahlen die Arbeitgeber! Die Elternzeit löst den Fachkräftemangel und auch die Vereinbarkeit von Beruf und Familie nicht. Es braucht langfristige Lösungen wie flexible Betreuungsmodelle, die verfügbar und bezahlbar sind und es beiden Elternteilen ermöglichen, einer Erwerbstätigkeit nachzugehen. Das Arbeitsvolumen steigt um mehr als 40% pro Betreuungsplatz.
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
Housing construction and thus also non-profit housing construction is dependent on regional and local developments. At best, this is a task of the municipalities (federalism!). I see alternative solutions in efforts of private parties, which enable generation projects and provide affordable housing (private before state!).
Der Wohnungsbau und damit auch der gemeinnützige Wohnungsbau ist von regionalen und örtlichen Entwicklungen abhängig. Dies ist allenfalls eine Aufgabe der Gemeinden (Föderalismus!). Alternative Lösungen sehe ich in Bestrebungen Privater, die Generationenprojekte ermöglichen und bezahlbaren Wohnraum zur Verfügung stellen (Privat vor Staat!).

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
Investing in health prevention and raising awareness among the population to reduce their sugar consumption is right and important. Frozen pizzas and preserved foods like tomato ketchup also contain sugar. I imagine the collection and control will be difficult. This tax will cause a lot of bureaucracy and additional costs.
In die Gesundheitsprävention zu investieren und die Bevölkerung zu sensibilisieren, ihren Zuckerkonsum zu reduzieren, ist richtig und wichtig. Tiefkühlpizzen und konservierte Lebensmittel wie Tomatenketchup enthalten auch Zucker. Die Erhebung und Kontrolle stelle ich mir schwierig vor. Diese Steuer wird viel Bürokratie und Mehrkosten verursachen.
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
Franchises and deductibles are to be based on current healthcare costs. Freedom of choice in health insurance premiums is to be further expanded.
Franchisen und Selbstbehalte sollen sich an den aktuellen Gesundheitskosten orientieren. Die Wahlfreiheit bei der Krankenkassenprämie soll weiter 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 role of parliament is to be strengthened. In extraordinary emergencies, the Federal Council always has the option of applying emergency law.
Die Rolle des Parlaments soll gestärkt werden. In ausserordentlichen Notlagen hat der Bundesrat immer die Möglichkeit das 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 the task of the cantons. They must think beyond the cantonal borders and cooperate better. There is a need for hospital planning that ensures basic care in the immediate vicinity (offering highly specialized cutting-edge medicine only at suitable locations).
Spitalplanung ist Aufgabe der Kantone. Diese müssen über die Kantonsgrenzen denken und besser zusammenarbeiten. Es braucht eine Spitalplanung, welche die Grundversorgung in unmittelbarer Nähe sicherstellt (Angebot hochspezialisierter Spitzenmedizin nur an geeigneten Standorten).
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 the community schools, inclusive education is reaching its limits. The number of children with special needs and behavioral problems is increasing. The relief through special education is 2 to max. 8 hours per week and child with special needs. The main part of the lessons is done by the class teacher in the class group (alone! In the "worst case" with 26 children, 10 of them with special needs). Correction is necessary.
In den Gemeindeschulen stösst der integrative Unterricht an seine Grenzen. Die Anzahl der Kinder mit Förderstufen und Verhaltensauffälligkeiten nimmt zu. Die Entlastung durch Heilpädagogik beträgt 2 bis max. 8 Stunden pro Woche und Kind mit Förderstufe. Den Hauptteil des Unterrichts gestaltetet die Klassenlehrperson im Klassenverbund (Alleine! Im "worst case" mit 26 Kindern, davon 10 mit Förderstufe). Eine Korrektur ist notwendig.
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 language of instruction and the subjects of mathematics, information technology, economics and law are to be strengthened. The rules for passing the Matura examination are to remain unchanged.
Die Unterrichtssprache und die Fächer Mathematik, Informatik, Wirtschaft und Recht sollen gestärkt werden. Die Regeln für das Bestehen der Maturitätsprüfung sollen unverändert bleiben.
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 Opportunity.

Immigration & integration

Integration takes time. Procedures must be simplified and financial hurdles removed.

Increase the quota of third-country nationals for skilled workers
Should more qualified workers from non-EU/EFTA countries be allowed to work in Switzerland (increase third-country quota)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In recent years, the quotas have not been exhausted.
In den letzten Jahren wurden die Kontingente nicht ausgeschöpft.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
If you want to have a say, you can become a naturalized citizen. Naturalization brings with it rights and obligations, such as compulsory military service. However, I am in favor of a simplified naturalization procedure, e.g. for people who were born in Switzerland, attended school here, pay their taxes, participate in clubs, etc. They have long since proven that they are integrated. They have long since proven that they are integrated.
Wer mitbestimmen will, kann sich einbürgern lassen. Mit der Einbürgerung entstehen Rechte und Pflichten, so z.B. auch die Militärdienst-Pflicht. Ich stehe allerdings für ein vereinfachtes Einbürgerungsverfahren, z. B. für Menschen, die in der Schweiz geboren sind, hier die Schulen besucht haben, ihre Steuern zahlen, in Vereinen mitwirken etc. Sie haben längst bewiesen, dass sie integriert sind.

Self-determination.

Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Actually, gender should not play a role in as many places as possible. In order to strengthen the rights of people who do not fit into the binary system, another gender entry or a general waiver of a gender entry should be possible.
Eigentlich sollte das Geschlecht an möglichst vielen Orten keine Rolle spielen. Um die Rechte der Menschen zu stärken, die sich nicht ins binäre System einordnen lassen, sollte ein weiterer Geschlechtseintrag oder ein allgemeiner Verzicht auf einen Geschlechtseintrag möglich sein.
Equality between same-sex and heterosexual couples

Das geltende Ausgleichsystem wurde erst 2020 angepasst.
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
I understand the aspirations. People who work should also be able to live off their wages. However, a minimum wage would have to be shouldered by employers, including SMEs, which can hardly afford the high rents in the cities (> layoffs, shops dying). I stand for a liberal labor market. I want to strengthen SMEs and counter the "working poor". Impulses: The state should relieve low-income earners on their expenditure side. In this way, the burden will be borne by all in solidarity.
Ich verstehe die Bestrebungen. Menschen, die arbeiten, sollen auch von ihrem Lohn leben können. Ein Mindestlohn müssten allerdings die Arbeitgebenden schultern, darunter KMU, die sich kaum die hohen Mieten in den Städten leisten können (> Kündigungen, Lädelisterben). Ich stehe für einen liberalen Arbeitsmarkt. Ich will die KMU stärken und "Working Poor" entgegentreten. Impulse: Der Staat soll Wenigverdienende auf ihrer Ausgabenseite entlasten. Damit wird die Last solidarisch von allen getragen.
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
Social responsibility must be exercised. However, the stricter equity requirements must be realistic. A ban on bonuses goes too far. Requirements and a range for bonuses create both security and room for maneuver. Board members should have their center of life in Switzerland and be able to be held accountable for their actions.
Die soziale Verantwortung muss wahrgenommen werden. Allerdings müssen die strengeren Eigenkapitalvorschriften realistisch sein. Ein Bonusverbot geht zu weit. Voraussetzungen und eine Bandbreite für Boni schaffen sowohl Sicherheit als auch Handlungsspielraum. Verwaltungsräte sollen ihren Lebensmittelpunkt in der Schweiz haben und für ihr Handeln zur Rechenschaft gezogen werden können.
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
I expect the complete opening of the electricity market to strengthen decentralized electricity production. I am not sure that full liberalization of the electricity market will lead to lower prices for private households. The costs of grid operation for local suppliers will remain. Bureaucracy will increase (> multiple billers, interface clarification...).
Von der vollständigen Öffnung des Strommarktes verspreche ich mir, die dezentrale Stromproduktion zu stärken. Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob eine vollständige Liberalisierung des Strommarktes zu tieferen Preisen für die Privathaushalte führen wird. Die Kosten der Netzbetreibung der örtlichen Anbieter bleiben. Die Bürokratie wird zunehmen (> mehrere Rechnungssteller, Schnittstellenklärung...).
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
Remove hurdles that do not make sense. Strive for a relaxation of the excessive protection of monuments and historic buildings, and consistently implement the Spatial Planning Act with inward densification. Allow conversions (offices to living space). We must move closer together spatially and steer settlement development into developed areas. In this way we create short distances, green space to breathe, more social exchange and identification.
Hürden abbauen, die nicht Sinn machen. Lockerungen beim überbordenden Denkmal- und Heimatschutz anstreben und das Raumplanungsgesetz mit der Verdichtung nach innen konsequent umsetzen. Umnutzungen zulassen (Büros zu Wohnraum). Wir müssen räumlich zusammenrücken und die Siedlungsentwicklung in erschlossene Gebiete lenken. So schaffen wir kurze Wege, Grünraum zum Durchatmen, mehr sozialen Austausch und Identifikation.
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 |

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
I supported the Climate and Innovation Act because it focuses on incentives rather than prohibitions.
Das Klima- und Innovationsgesetz habe ich unterstützt, weil es auf Anreize statt Verbote setzt.
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
The reduction of hurdles in favor of supply security must be examined. The procedures must be streamlined. Today, these are partly blocked by environmental associations. There is not enough time to expand renewables sufficiently. We need large-scale plants and a moderate expansion of the grid that can handle the large amounts of electricity.
Der Abbau der Hürden zu Gunsten der Versorgungssicherheit ist zu prüfen. Die Verfahren müssen schlank sein. Diese sind heute teils durch Umweltverbände blockiert. Die Zeit reicht nicht aus für den genügenden Ausbau der Erneuerbaren. Wir brauchen Grossanlagen und einen massvollen Netzausbau, der die grossen Strommengen auch aushalten kann.
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
I do not rule out any technology for a secure power supply. We need a broad mix of energy sources when the population is growing, the economy is humming and decarbonization is the goal. The massive expansion of renewable technologies and independence from autocratic states must continue to be driven forward.
Für eine sichere Stromversorgung schliesse ich keine Technologie aus. Wir brauchen einen breiten Mix der Energieträger, wenn die Bevölkerung wächst, die Wirtschaft brummt und die Dekarbonisierung das Ziel ist. Der massive Zubau der erneuerbaren Technologien und die Unabhängigkeit von autokratischen Staaten ist weiter voranzutreiben.
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
Good-quality basic care must be ensured in rural areas. What "comprehensive" means is not clear from the question. Using synergies and, for example, transferring post office management to a retailer is a step in the right direction.
Eine qualitativ gute Grundversorgung ist in ländlichen Gebieten sicherzustellen. Was "umfassend" bedeutet, geht aus der Fragestellung nicht hervor. Synergien nutzen und beispielsweise die Poststellenführung einem Detaillisten zu übertragen, ist ein Schritt in die richtige Richtung.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In view of the "rapidly increasing wolf population", there are "major problems" for the alpine economy. According to the FOEN, more than 1,500 livestock were killed in 2022. The upcoming revision of the hunting protection law and its relaxation should bring improvement in the long term, while ensuring compatibility with international protection.
Angesichts der «schnell anwachsenden Wolfbestände» ergeben sich für die Alpwirtschaft «grosse Probleme». Laut BAFU wurden 2022 mehr als 1'500 Nutztiere gerissen. Die anstehende Revision des Jagdschutzgesetzes und dessen Lockerungen soll langfristig Besserung bringen, wobei die Vereinbarkeit mit dem internationalem Schutz gewährleistet sein soll.
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 of the ecological performance certificate (ÖLN) for receiving direct payments are high. An extension accelerates the death of farms and endangers our degree of self-sufficiency. Productive agriculture creates security.
Die Anforderungen des ökologischen Leistungsnachweises (ÖLN) für den Erhalt von Direktzahlungen sind hoch. Eine Erweiterung beschleunigt das Hofsterben und gefährdet unseren Selbstversorgungsgrad. Eine produzierende Landwirtschaft schafft Sicherheit.
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 federal government should create incentives for agriculture that encourage permanent outdoor access for livestock and cover the additional costs.
Der Bund soll Anreize für die Landwirtschaft schaffen, welche den permanenten Zugang von Nutztieren zum Aussenbereich fördern und die Mehrkosten abdecken.
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
A 30 percent regulation does not take into account the quality of the area or the geological conditions. So far, according to the federal government, about 13% of the area in Switzerland serves the protection of biodiversity. Whether the interests of agriculture have been weighed in an increase of almost 17% remains unclear. Switzerland's degree of self-sufficiency must be taken into account.
Eine 30-Prozent-Regelung berücksichtigt weder die Qualität der Fläche noch die geologischen Gegebenheiten. Bisher dienen nach Angaben des Bundes rund 13 % der Fläche in der Schweiz dem Schutz der Biodiversität. Ob bei einer Erhöhung um knapp 17% die Interessen der Landwirtschaft abgewogen wurden, bleibt unklar. Der Selbstversorgungsgrad der Schweiz ist zu berücksichtigen.
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
Not only microplastics, but basically waste pollutes us and our environment. I stand for the circular economy and the reduction of waste. In doing so, I rely on the promotion of innovations instead of bans.
Nicht nur Mikroplastik, sondern grundsätzlich Abfälle belasten uns und unsere Umwelt. Ich stehe für die Kreislaufwirtschaft und die Reduktion der Abfallmenge. Dabei setze ich auf die Förderung von Innovationen statt auf 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
I have often been annoyed by the fact that I could not have an electronic device repaired, or that obtaining a cost estimate of CHF 150 was a deterrent. I am in favor of government efforts to promote sustainable use, provided they do not involve bans.
Ich habe mich schon oft darüber geärgert, dass ich ein elektronisches Gerät nicht mehr reparieren lassen konnte, bzw. das Einholen des Kostenvoranschlages in der Höhe von CHF 150 auf mich abschreckend wirkte.

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
Comprehensive reporting is important to me. Lowering the fees carries the risk of a reduction in quality. However, a company should not be asked to pay twice (business and private household).
Mir ist eine umfassende Berichterstattung wichtig. Ein Senkung der Gebühren birgt das Risiko des Qualitätsabbaus. Allerdings soll ein Unternehmen nicht doppelt zur Kasse gebeten werden (Betrieb und Privathaushalt).

In 2024, the women's retirement age will be adjusted to 65. 67 years is too big a step. A revision is necessary due to demographic developments. I would be more in favor of making retirement more flexible by linking it to working life. People who have already worked and paid AHV at the age of 17 would be caught up. Other alternatives: increase VAT and contributions, review marriage bonuses, voluntary waiver of pension for wealthy people.
2024 wird das Frauen-Rentenalter auf 65 Jahre angeglichen. 67 Jahre ist ein zu grosser Schritt. Eine Revision ist aufgrund der demografischen Entwicklung notwendig. Eine Flexibilisierung mit Anknüpfung an die Lebensarbeitszeit würde ich eher befürworten. Menschen, die bereits mit 17 Jahren gearbeitet und AHV einbezahlt haben, würden aufgefangen werden. Weitere Alternativen: Erhöhung MWST und Beiträge, Überprüfung Ehe-Boni, freiwilliger Verzicht auf Rente vermögender Personen.
