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 abolished.
Im Gegenzug sind bisherige Ehe-Boni (Beitragsprivilegien, Verwittwetenrenten und -zuschläge) in der AHV 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 extension of benefits.
Die Erwerbsausfälle zahlen 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
Vaccination corresponds to the public spirit and is a good thing. However, whether someone wants to be vaccinated is a personal decision (self-determination).
Impfen entspricht dem Gemeinsinn und ist eine gute Sache. Ob jemand sich impfen will, ist aber ein persönlicher Entscheid (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
Eating is a personal choice. It doesn't need a nanny state.
Essen ist eine persönliche Entscheidung. Es braucht dafür keinen Nanny-Staat.
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
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.
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
The role of parliament is to be strengthened on this issue. In extraordinary emergencies, however, the Federal Council always has the option of applying emergency law.
Die Rolle des Parlaments soll bei diesem Thema gestärkt werden. In ausserordentlichen Notlagen hat der Bundesrat jedoch 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. However, the federal government can promote cooperation through incentives.
Die Kantone sind in der Verantwortung, über ihre Kantonsgrenzen besser zusammenzuarbeiten. Jedoch kann der Bund die Zusammenarbeit durch Anreize fördern.
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
Inclusion is valuable for both sides. However, the inclusive concept reaches its limits in practice: Teachers are overworked and often not sufficiently trained to address the special needs of students. This leads to higher costs without added value.
Inklusion ist für beide Seiten wertvoll. Jedoch stösst das integrative Konzept in der Praxis an seine Grenzen: Die Lehrkräfte sind überlastet und oft nicht ausreichend geschult, 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
The dual vocational training with corresponding further training opportunities with university of applied sciences, higher vocational training Pasarelle is the royal road.
Die duale Berufsbildung mit entsprechenden Weiterbildungsmöglichkeiten mit Fachhochschule, Höherer Berufsbildung Pasarelle ist der Königsweg.
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. There is no right to naturalization.
Eine gewisse Liberalisierung ist richtig, aber die Integrationsanforderungen sollen erhalten bleiben. Eine Einbürgerung setzt Integration voraus, die ihre Zeit benötigt. Es gibt kein Recht auf Einbürgerung.
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 Switzerland should be allowed to work here.
Hochqualifizierte Arbeitskräfte, die in der Schweiz fehlen, sollen hier 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, EU efforts to introduce simplified procedures for people from safe third countries at the Schengen external border are to be welcomed.
Grundsätzlich sollen Asylverfahren in der Schweiz durchgeführt werden. Jedoch sind die EU-Bestrebungen zu begrüssen, 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 should become naturalized citizens.
Es soll keinen Automatismus geben. Zudem gehen mit Rechten auch Pflichten einher (z.B. Militärdienst). 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
Cannabis is not more dangerous than alcohol, that's why consumption should be legal for private use. Dealing with the quantities is crucial.
Cannabis ist nicht gefährlicher wie Alkohol, darum soll der Konsum für den Privatgebrauch legal sein. Der Umgang mit den Mengen ist entscheidend.

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 are already progressive income taxes and a wealth tax. New taxes are not needed!
Es gibt bereits progressive Einkommenssteuern und eine Vermögenssteuer. Neue Steuern braucht es nicht!
Strengthen financial equalization between the cantons
Should the differences between cantons with high and low financial capacity be further reduced through fiscal equalization?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Already today, over 5.5 billion francs are redistributed every year in the fiscal equalization system. Tax competition makes Switzerland attractive.
Bereits heute werden jedes Jahr über 5,5 Milliarden Franken im Finanzausgleich umverteilt. Der Steuerwettbewerb macht die Schweiz attraktiv.
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 financial sector is already heavily regulated enough!
Der Finanzsektor ist schon genug stark reguliert!
Liberalizzare completamente il mercato dell'elettricità
Should private households be free to choose their electricity supplier (complete liberalization of the electricity market)?

Mehr Wettbewerb führt zu tieferen Preisen und verbessert die Qualität der Dienstleistung.
Make housing construction regulations more flexible

| 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
A state wage police would be a bureaucratic nightmare. Wages are a matter for the social partners (employers and trade unions).
Eine staatliche Lohnpolizei wäre ein bürokratischer Albtraum. Löhne sind Sache der Sozialpartner (Arbeitgeber und Gewerkschaften).
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?

|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Efficient infrastructures are a core task of the state.
Leistungsfähige Infrastrukturen sind eine Kernaufgabe des Staats.
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?

|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Bans are fundamentally the wrong way to go.
Verbote sind grundsätzlich der falsche Weg.
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 do not work, as has been proven many times. Incentives achieve more sustainable and successful progress.
Verbote funktionieren nicht, wie das schon mehrfach bewiesen wurde. Über Anreize erreicht man nachhaltigere und erfolgreiche Fortschritte.
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
Openness to technology is a liberal principle, which is why a legal ban on new construction is disturbing.
Die Technologieoffenheit ist ein liberales Prinzip, darum stört ein gesetzliches Neubauverbot.
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
The possibilities of digitization are to be used consistently for location-based public service offerings. In addition, the services must have a certain relationship to demand.
Die Möglichkeiten der Digitalisierung sind für ortsgebundene Service-Public-Angebote konsequent zu nutzen. Zudem müssen die Leistungen 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)?

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 is an important issue. However, the current standards in Switzerland are already strict enough in international comparison.
Tierschutz ist ein wichtiges Thema. Jedoch sind die heutigen Standards in der Schweiz im internationalen Vergleich schon heute streng genug.
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
Biodiversity is an important topic. More decisive than an abstract figure is the quality of the areas. 30 percent in the high mountains hardly brings the desired effect.
Biodiversität ist ein wichtiges Thema. Entscheidender als eine abstrakte Zahl ist die Qualität der Flächen. 30 Prozent 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.

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Circular economy is an important topic. However, the proposals mentioned here go too far.
Kreislaufwirtschaft ist ein wichtiges Thema. Die hier erwähnten Vorschläge gehen jedoch zu weit.
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 task for the state, but for the telecommunications providers. However, the state can simplify the procedures.
Dies ist aber keine Staatsaufgabe, sondern die der Telekomanbieter. Der Staat kann aber die Verfahren vereinfachen.
Digitizing public services
Should the federal government be given additional powers in the area of digitization of government services in order to be able to impose binding directives and standards on the cantons?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Certain national standards are desirable so that the systems are compatible. One example is the state electronic identity (E-ID).
Gewisse nationale Standards sind wünschenswert, damit die Systeme kompatibel sind. Ein Beispiel ist die staatliche elektronische Identiät (E-ID).

|---|---|---|---|
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
New rights should always be accompanied by new obligations. Good participation opportunities for young people already exist. In addition, the attainment of maturity should be the yardstick for the voting age. This is 18 years.
Mit neuen Rechten sollte immer auch neue Pflichten verbunden sein. Gute Partizipationsmöglichkeiten für Jugendliche sind bereits vorhanden. Zudem soll das Erreichen der Mündigkeit der Massstab für das Stimmrechtalter sein. Dieses liegt bei 18 Jahren.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In order for the armed forces to fulfill their constitutional mandate, the army budget must be increased. However, the army target level should not be an absolute criterion.
Damit die Armee ihren Verfassungsauftrag erfüllen kann, muss das Armeebudget erhöht werden. Dabei soll jedoch der Armee-Sollbestand nicht ein absolutes Kriterium sein.
Strengthening cooperation between the Swiss army and NATO
Should the Swiss Armed Forces expand their cooperation with NATO?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Stronger cooperation is important for Switzerland's security. NATO membership, on the other hand, should be clearly rejected.
Eine stärkere Zusammenarbeit ist für die Sicherheit der Schweiz wichtig. Ein NATO-Beitritt ist hingegen klar abzulehnen.
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]

Scumonda da visar automaticamain la fatscha en locals publics
Should automatic facial recognition be banned in public spaces?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Systematic monitoring is to be clearly rejected. In exceptions, e.g. when crossing the border at customs, this should remain possible.
Eine systematische Überwachung ist klar abzulehnen. In Ausnahmen, z.B. beim Grenzübertritt am Zoll, soll dies möglich bleiben.
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]

Should Switzerland return to a strict interpretation of neutrality (renounce economic sanctions to a large extent)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Comment
There is certainly a need for 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 sicher 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.
