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
Married couples should become as equal as possible with single persons.
Ehepaare sollen mit ledigen Personen möglichst gleichberechtigt werden.
Reduce LPP pensions
As part of the reform of the BVG (occupational pension plan), pensions are to be reduced (lowering the minimum conversion rate from 6.8% to 6%). Are you in favor of this measure?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In the 2nd pillar, everyone should pay for themselves. Redistribution must therefore be stopped.
In der 2. Säule soll jeder für sich selber zahlen. Eine Umverteilung gilt es daher zu stoppen.
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 earnings. A limit has to be set somewhere. As an employee, you can't always take and profit.
Die Arbeitgeber zahlen die Erwerbsausfälle. Irgendwo muss eine Grenze gesetzt werden. Als Arbeitnehmender kann man nicht immer nehmen und profitieren.
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
I consider non-profit housing to be sensible and important. However, this is the task of the municipalities and not the federal government.
Gemeinnütziger Wohnungsbau betrachte ich als sinnvoll und wichtig. Jedoch ist dies Aufgabe der Gemeinden und nicht des Bundes.
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
In my opinion, vaccination makes sense in many cases. I clearly reject compulsory vaccination, as this is a personal matter and deeply invades the private sphere.
Impfen macht meiner Meinung nach in vielen Fällen Sinn. Eine Impfpflicht lehne ich klar ab, da dies eine persönliche Angelegenheit ist und tief in die Privatsphäre eindringt.
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
The state is not to interfere in the feeding of the population.
Der Staat hat sich nicht in die Ernährung der Bevölkerung einzumischen.
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 for the insured is always to be welcomed.
Wahlfreiheit bei den Versicherten ist immer zu begrüssen.
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. One must know: In extraordinary emergencies, the Federal Council always has the option of applying emergency law. Emergency law is important in order to be able to act quickly. However, parliament should have more influence in this regard.
Es gilt in erster Linie die Rolle des Parlaments zu stärken. Man muss wissen: In ausserordentlichen Notlagen hat der Bundesrat immer die Möglichkeit Notrecht anzuwenden. Das Notrecht ist wichtig, um schnell handeln zu können. Dabei soll das Parlament aber mehr Einfluss haben.
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
However, the competences should remain at the cantonal level. The cantons have the responsibility to cooperate on a supracantonal level.
Die Kompetenzen sollen aber auf kantonaler Ebene bleiben. Die Kantone haben die Verantwortung überkantonal zusammenzuarbeiten.
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
Teachers are often overworked and often not adequately trained to address the special needs of students. This leads to higher costs without added value.
Die Lehrkräfte sind oft 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
We must strengthen the dual education system even further, because this is our trump card, which makes Switzerland so strong. Without a qualified workforce, our prosperity in Switzerland would be much lower.
Wir müssen das duale Bildungssystem noch weiter stärken, denn dies ist unser Trumpf, welcher die Schweiz so stark macht. Ohne qualifizierte Arbeitskräfte wäre unser Wohlstand in der Schweiz viel geringer.
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 ensures equal opportunities.
Bildung sorgt für 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
Citizenship is not the prerequisite for integration, but the crowning achievement of successful integration.
Das Bürgerrecht ist nicht die Voraussetzung für Integration, sondern der krönende Abschluss für eben eine erfolgreiche Integration.
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
Due to the shortage of skilled workers, we are dependent on qualified workers from the EU. Without them, unfortunately, we would have no chance.
Aufgrund des Fachkräftemangels sind wir auf qualifizierte Arbeitskräfte aus der EU angewiesen. Ohne diese hätten wir leider keine Chance.
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. If it is possible to conduct simplified procedures in safe third countries, this should be welcomed.
Grundsätzlich sollen Asylverfahren in der Schweiz durchgeführt werden. Ist es möglich vereinfachte Verfahren in sicheren Drittstaaten durchzuführen, darf man dies begrüssen.
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
An automatism would ensure that there is no incentive for integration. Those who want to have a say should become naturalized citizens.
Ein Automatismus würde dafür sorgen, dass kein Anreiz besteht für eine Integration. 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 no more dangerous than alcohol, which is why it should be legal for private use. Dealing with the quantities is crucial.
Cannabis ist nicht gefährlicher als Alkohol, darum soll der Konsum für den Privatgebrauch legal sein. Der Umgang mit den Mengen ist entscheidend.
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
For certain diseases with no chance of cure, direct active euthanasia can definitely make sense. The number of tragic suicides can certainly be reduced in this way.
Bei gewissen Krankheiten ohne Heilungschancen kann die direkte aktive Sterbehilfe definitiv Sinn machen. Die Anzahl tragischer Suizide kann so sicherlich verringert werden.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Everyone should be accepted as they are, regardless of social, denominational or cultural background.
Jeder soll so akzeptiert werden wie er ist, unabhängig des sozialen, konfessionellen oder kulturellen Herkommens.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
It is imperative to promote and enforce equal rights.
Gleichberechtiung ist zwingend zu fördern und durchzusetzen.
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
Tax cuts strengthen Switzerland's attractiveness as a business location and ensure greater prosperity.
Steuersenkungen stärken die Standortattraktivität der Schweiz und sorgen für mehr Wohlstand.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The marriage penalty should be abolished, as marriage should not entail any financial consequences.
Die Heiratsstraffe gilt es abzuschaffen, da die Ehe keine finanziellen Folgen nach sich ziehen soll.
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 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, more than 5.5 billion francs are redistributed every year in the fiscal equalization system.
Bereits heute werden jedes Jahr über 5,5 Milliarden Franken im Finanzausgleich umverteilt.
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 a matter for the employer and the employee. The liberal labor market is part of Switzerland's success model.
Lohn und Arbeitsbedingungen sind Sache des Arbeitgebers und des Arbeitnehmenden. Der liberale Arbeitsmarkt ist Teil 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
The Credit Suisse tragedy showed that existing regulation needs to be reviewed for its impact and adjusted if necessary. However, we should not regulate everything, because the Swiss financial center is important for our country and our population.
Die Credit Suisse Tragödie zeigte, dass die bestehende Regulierung auf ihre Wirkung überprüft und gegebenenfalls angepasst werden muss. Alles regulieren sollte man jedoch nicht, denn der Finanzplatz Schweiz ist wichtig für unser Land und unsere Bevölkerung.
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 creates more choices and usually lowers prices for the public. Having a choice is always good than having to choose just one provider.
Mehr Wettbewerb schafft mehr Auswahlmöglichkeiten und senkt meistens auch die Preise für die Bevölkerung. Eine Auswahl zu haben ist immer gut, als nur einen Anbieter auswählen zu müssen.
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
Nowadays there are too many regulations, some of which definitely do not need to be.
Heutzutage gibt es zu viele Vorschriften, welche zum Teil definitiv nicht Sein müssten.
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 unions). They should ensure that equality is also implemented in wage policy.
Eine staatliche Lohnpolizei wäre ein bürokratischer Albtraum. Löhne sind Sache der Sozialpartner (Arbeitgeber und Gewerkschaften). Diese sollten dafür sorgen, dass die Gleichberechtigung auch in der Lohnpolitik umgesetzt wird.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
A good and efficient infrastructure is important for the whole of Switzerland.
Eine gute und leistungsfähige Infrastruktur ist wichtig für die ganze Schweiz.
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 are the wrong way to go. When the majority is convinced that other means of transportation are better, the demand for combustion engines will also decrease.
Verbote sind der falsche Weg. Wenn die Mehrheit davon überzeugt ist, dass andere Fortbewegungsmittel besser sind, wird auch die Nachfrage nach Verbrennungsmotoren sinken.
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 are always better than prohibitions. Incentives create sustainable progress and ensure the long-term nature of projects and all matters.
Anreize sind immer besser als Verbote. Anreize schaffen nachhaltigen Fortschritt und sorgen dafür, dass die Langfristigkeit von Projekten und allen Angelegenheiten gegeben sind.
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 cannot be that environmentalists, can prevent important projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to a decade.
Es kann nicht sein, dass Umweltschützer, wichtige Projekte zur Senkung der Treibhausgasemissionen um bis zu ein Jahrzent verhindern können.
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 important for our security of supply. But lifting the ban on building nuclear power plants does not mean that new ones will be built! For who will pay for them? Who insures the risk? These questions would have to be clarified first.
Technologieoffneheit ist wichtig für unsere Versorgungssicherheit. Eine Aufhebung des Verbotes zum Bau von Atomkraftwerken heisst aber nicht gleich, dass neue gebaut werden! Denn wer zahlt das? Wer versichert das Risiko? Diese Fragen müssten zuerst geklärt werden.
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
In rural regions, a good basic supply is needed. However, one must also consider that there must also be a certain demand.
In ländlichen Regionen braucht es eine gute Grundversorgung. Jedoch muss man schon auch bedenken, dass eine gewisse Nachfrage auch gegeben sein muss.
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
The dependence on foreign countries would increase and this would result in a weakening of Switzerland.
Die Abhängigkeit zum Ausland würde zunehmen und dies hätte eine Schwächung der Schweiz zur Folge.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
How many more sheep have to be killed first before there are finally relaxations?
Wie viele Schafe müssen zuerst noch getötet werden, bis es endlich Lockerungen gibt?
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 high today. A further restriction would accelerate farm death and reduce the degree of self-sufficiency.
Die Anforderungen an den Erhalt von Direktzahlungen sind bereits heute hoch. Eine weitere Einschränkung würde das Hofsterben beschleunigen und den Selbstversorgungsgrad senken.
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 adjusted selectively.
Die Standards sind bereits heute hoch, können aber punktuell angepasst 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
The quality of the surface is decisive. In the mountains of the Alps, this figure is not purposeful!
Die Qualität der Fläche ist entscheidend. Im Gebirge der Alpen ist diese Zahl nicht zielführend!
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
Such radical bans are the wrong way to go.
Solche radikalen Verbote sind der falsche Weg.
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
Certain guard rails make sense. However, the measures should include incentives and not prohibitions.
Gewisse Leitplanken machen Sinn. Die Massnahmen sollten aber Anreize und keine Verbote beinhalten.
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
Technological progress should not be prevented. However, the development of this network should be the task of the telecommunications providers.
Technologischer Fortschritt sollte nicht verhindert werden. Der Aufbau für dieses Netz soll aber Aufgabe der Telekomanbieter sein.
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
More competencies ensure that the cantons and municipalities feel pressure to develop in the area of digitization as well.
Mehr Kompetenzen sorgen dafür, dass die Kantone und Gemeinden Druck spüren, sich auch im Bereich Digitalisierung entwickeln zu müssen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Regulations should only be used in a few cases, namely when security on these platforms is no longer given.
Regulierungen sollten nur in wenigen Fällen zum Einsatz kommen, nämlich dann, wann die Sicherheit auf diesen Plattformen nicht mehr gegeben ist.
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
Compulsory fees must be rejected.
Zwangsgebühren gilt es abzulehnen.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Youth participation in politics is an important part of our country's future. With the voting age of 16, many young people would become more involved in politics. It is precisely these people who are most affected by the consequences of political decisions. Therefore, they should be able to have a say at an earlier age.
Die Partizipation von Jugendlichen in der Politik ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Zukunft unseres Landes. Mit dem Stimmrechtsalter 16 würden sich viele junge Menschen vermehrt mit der Politik beschäftigen. Eben genau diese Menschen sind am meisten von den Folgen aus den Eintscheidungen der Politik betroffen. Deshalb sollte man ihnen auch schon früher Mitspracherecht geben können.
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

Die Schuldenbremse genügt.
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
National defense is important, but it is more important to strengthen cooperation within Europe than to spend money on expanding the stockpile.
Die Landesverteidigung ist wichtig, jedoch gilt es eher die Zusammenarbeit innerhalb Europa zu stärken, als selbst Geld auszugeben für einen Ausbau des Bestandes.
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]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Switzerland should not block re-export, provided the weapons go to Western democracies and Switzerland has control over re-export.
Die Schweiz solte den Reexport nicht blockieren, sofern die Waffen an westliche Demokratien gehen und die Schweiz die Kontrolle über die Wiederausfuhr hat.
Scumonda da visar automaticamain la fatscha en locals publics

Das Schengen-Abkommen schafft Sicherheit und verhindert einen Schweizer Hotspot beim Asylwesen.
Foreign trade & foreign policy
Seek closer relations with the EU
Are you in favor of closer relations with the European Union (EU)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Accession to the EU must be clearly rejected. However, bilateral relations must be strengthened and further developed. The EU is our most important trading partner.

Seek a comprehensive free trade agreement with the United States
Should Switzerland strive for a comprehensive free trade agreement (including agriculture) with the USA?

Comment
Free trade agreements are important and provide important benefits on both sides.
Freihandelsabkommen sind wichtig und sorgen für wichtige Vorteile auf beiden Seiten.
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 too extreme, because small companies can control their subsidiaries very poorly in some cases.
Das ist zu extrem, denn kleine Firmen können ihre Tochterfirmen zum Teil sehr schlecht 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 is to be secured.
Der Bilaterale Weg soll gesichert werden.
Return to a strict interpretation of neutrality
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
Neutrality serves foreign policy and has changed significantly compared to 100 years ago. Doing nothing is also a clear position in certain cases.
Die Neutralität dient der Aussenpolitik und hat sich im Vergleich zu vor 100 Jahren deutlich verändert. Nichts machen, ist in gewissen Fällen auch eine klare Position.

Comment
An increase in the retirement age is unavoidable. If "a few" employees have to finance more and more pensioners, this will not work out in the long term. Moreover, we are living longer and longer, which poses an additional financial challenge. It is also a moral question: "Do we want our future generations to have a pension as well?"
