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
The health care system needs a general renovation before any more money is injected into the system.
Das Gesundheitsweisen bedarf einer Generalsanierung, bevor noch mehr Geld in das System eingespeist wird.
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
The current state of the AHV makes a strong expansion of benefits impossible. In the event of an improvement in the situation, the ceiling should be lifted if, in return, previous marriage bonuses (e.g. contribution privileges) are abolished.
Der aktuelle Zustand der AHV verunmöglicht einen starken Leistungsausbau. Bei einer Verbesserung der Lage soll die Plafonierung aufgehoben werden, wenn im Gegenzug bisherige Ehe-Boni (z. B. Beitragsprivilegien abgeschafft 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
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 current system with separate leaves is to be reformed and converted into 16 weeks of parental leave. The decision on the distribution of these weeks is to be open to all parents themselves.
Das heutige System mit getrennten Urlauben soll reformiert und in 16 Wochen Elternzeit umgewandelt werden. Die Entscheidung der Verteilung dieser Wochen soll allen Eltern selbst offenstehen.
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
The state must create the framework conditions so that private individuals can develop. The current system of building permit procedures is far too lazy.
Der Staat muss die Rahmenbedingungen herstellen, so dass Private entwickeln können. Das heutige System von Baubewilligungsverfahren ist viel zu träg.
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 is a good thing. But whether someone wants to be vaccinated is a personal decision (self-determination).
Impfen 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 an individual decision. We don't need a nanny state. More state is not an option.
Essen ist eine individuelle Entscheidung. Wir brauchen keinen Nanny-Staat. Mehr Staat ist keine Option.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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, but cross-cantonal planning is indispensable. The cantons must fulfill this responsibility.
Die Kantone sind in der Vernatwortung, doch ist eine kantonsübergreifende Planung unabdingbar. Dieser Verantwortung müssen die Kantone nachkommen.
Education
Inclusive schooling
According to the Swiss integrated schooling concept, children with learning difficulties or disabilities should be taught in regular classes. Do you approve of this concept?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The concept encounters 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.
Das Konzept stösst in der Praxis 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
Switzerland is also successful because of its dual education system with vocational apprenticeships and universities of applied sciences. The canton of St.Gallen is an example of how the quality and the requirements for the gymnasiale Maturität can be kept high. There is no basic right to the Matura.
Die Schweiz ist auch wegen dem dualen Ausbildungssystem mit Berufslehren und Fachhochschulen erfolgreich. Der Kanton St.Gallen zeigt beispielhaft vor, wie die Qualität und die Anforderungen an gymnasiale Maturität hochgehalten werden können. Es gibt kein Grundrecht auf die Maturität.
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
We need to be an opportunity society, but success comes from private drive and not government vouchers, this "mindset" needs to be encouraged. Compared to other countries, Switzerland is already very far along.
Wir müssen eine Chancengesellschaft sein, doch kommt Erfolg vom privaten Antrieb und nicht staatlichen Gutscheinen, dieses "Mindset" muss gefördert werden. Im Vergleich zu anderen Ländern ist die Schweiz bereits sehr weit.
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
The bureaucratic hurdles and costs are to be reduced, but not the requirements.
Die bürokratischen Hürden und Kosten sollen abgebaut werden, jedoch nicht die Anfordeungen
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
The bilateral path is essential for Switzerland's success, but the effects of strong migration must also be addressed. Switzerland has also become great through migration. However, I want to prevent conditions like those in Germany and France.
Der bilaterale Weg ist esseziell für den Erfolg der Schweiz, doch müssen auch die Auswirkungen starker Migration thematisiert werden. Auch durch die Migration ist die Schweiz gross geworden. Ich will jedoch Zustände wie in Deutschland und Frankreich verhindern.
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, as logistically it would be almost impossible to manage otherwise. However, I welcome the EU's efforts to introduce simplified procedures for people from safe third countries at the Schengen external border.
Grundsätzlich sollen Asylverfahren in der Schweiz durchgeführt werden, da es logistisch anders kaum zu bewerkstelligen wäre. Ich begrüsse jedoch die EU-Bestrebungen, welche an der Schengen-Aussengrenze vereinfachte Verfahren für Menschen aus sicheren Drittstaaten einführen wollen.
Voting rights for foreigners
Should foreign nationals who have lived in Switzerland for at least ten years be granted the right to vote and stand for election at the municipal level?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
There should be no automatism. Moreover, rights go hand in hand with duties (e.g. military service). Those who want to have a say 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
Everyone should decide for themselves, but they should also be responsible for the consequences of excessive consumption.
Jeder soll selbst entscheiden, doch auch für die Konsequenzen eines übermässigen Konsums gerade stehen müssen.
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
A very controversial topic, however, individuals with incurable, limiting illness should have this option open to them.
Ein sehr kontroverses Thema, jedoch sollten Personen mit unheilbaren, einschränkenden Krankheit diese Möglichkeit offen stehen.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Equality between same-sex and heterosexual couples
Do you think it's right for same-sex couples to have the same rights as heterosexual couples in all areas?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Love is a private matter
Liebe ist Privatsache
Finances & taxes
Reduce taxes at the federal level
Do you support tax cuts at the federal level over the next four years?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
We have long been calling for individual taxation independent of civil status. In 2022, we were allowed to submit a corresponding popular initiative together with the FDP
Wir fordern schon lange eine zivilstandsunabhängige Individualbesteuerung. 2022 durften wir gemeinsam mit der FDP eine entsprechende Volksinitiative einreichen
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! It would reduce the incentives for sustainable investment in future generations and cause increased consumption. Well meant is the opposite of well done
Es gibt bereits progressive Einkommenssteuern und eine Vermögenssteuer. Neue Steuern braucht es nicht! Es würde die Anreize für nachhaltige Investitionen in die kommenden Generationen mindern und einen vermehrten Konsum hervorrufen. Gut gemeint ist das gegenteil von gute gemacht
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
Fiscal competition is important and has made Switzerland great. Federalism is supposed to compensate for the otherwise missing competition in the state system.
Fiskaler Wettbewerb ist wichtig und hat die Schweiz gross gemacht. Der Föderalismus soll den sonst fehlenden Wettbewerb im Staatswesen kompensieren.
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! Research agrees that a minimum wage harms those affected.
Löhne und Arbeitsbedingungen werden privatwirtschaftlich zwischen Arbeitnehmer und Arbeitgeber (Sozialpartnerschaft) geregelt. Der liberale Arbeitsmarkt ist ein Grundstein unseres Erfolgsmodells! Ein Mindestlohn schadet betroffenen, darin ist sich die Forschung einig.
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
Responsibility! You have to stand up for your deeds, this also applies to the CS management. However, a uniform regulation is simply not expedient, the existing regulatory jungle could not prevent the CS debacle. Mistakes cannot always be responded to with more state regulation.
Verantwortung! Man muss für seine Taten gerade stehen, dies gilt auch für das CS-Management. Jedoch ist eine einheitliche Regelung schlichtweg nicht zielführend, der bestehnede Regulierungs-Jungel konnte auch das CS-Debakel nicht verhindern. Auf Fehler kann nicht immer mit mehr staatlichen Regulierungen geantwortet werden.
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 leads to lower prices and improves the quality of service.
Mehr Wettbewerb führt zu tieferen Preisen und verbessert die Qualität der Dienstleistung.
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
In order to be able to provide sufficient living space, we must relax regulations. In particular, regulations that hinder densification should be adapted. Land ownership should be subject to fewer government restrictions.
Um genügend Wohnraum zur Verfügung zu stellen können, müssen wir Vorschriften lockern. Gerade Vorschriften, welche die Verdichtung behindern sollen angepasst werden. Das Grundstückeigentum soll weniger staatlichen Einschränkungen unterworfen werden.
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). Violations of wage equality (for equal performance) should be able to be reported to the appropriate body.
Eine staatliche Lohnpolizei wäre ein bürokratischer Albtraum. Löhne sind Sache der Sozialpartner (Arbeitgeber und Gewerkschaften). Verstösse gegen die Lohngleicheit (für gleiche Leistung) sollen bei der entsprechenden Stelle gemeldet werden können.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The best low-CO2 technology should win. This will be known in 2035 and will be answered by the economy and not by the state.
Die beste CO2-arme Technologie soll gewinnen. Dies weiss man im Jahr 2035 und wird von der Wirtschaft beantwortet und nicht vom Staat.
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 don't work; incentives achieve more sustainable and successful progress.
Verbote funktionieren nicht, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In order to achieve the energy turnaround, we must now consistently expand renewable energies such as hydropower, solar power and wind power. Projects such as the raising of the Grimsel dam should have been implemented long ago.
Um die Energiewende zu erreichen, müssen wir nun konsequent erneuerbare Energien wie Wasser-, Solar- und Windkraft ausbauen. Projekte wie die Erhöhung der Grimselstaumauer hätten längst umgesetzt werden müssen.
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
If it is economically viable, new nuclear power plants should also be allowed to be built. The massive expansion of renewable energies is indispensable, but will hardly be achieved due to the blockades of left-green environmental associations. Due to the inevitable decarbonization (e-cars, heat pumps, robots) of our society, the demand for electricity in Switzerland will double in the coming years!
Sofern es sich wirtschaftlich lohnt, sollen auch neue AKWs gebaut werden dürfen. Der massive Zubau von erneuerbaren Energien ist unverzichtbar, wird aber wegen der Blockaden von links-grünen Umweltverbänden kaum zu erreichen. Wegen der unausweichlichen Dekarbonisierung (E-Autos, Wärmepumpen, Roboter) unserer Gesellschaft wird sich der Strombedarf in der Schweiz in den kommenden Jahren verdoppeln!
Ensure a comprehensive range of public services
Should the state guarantee a comprehensive public service offering also in rural regions?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Even in rural regions, the state has to provide a good quality basic service, but the services must have a certain relationship to demand.
Auch in ländlichen Regionen hat der Staat eine qualitativ gute Grundversorgung zu gewährleisten, jedoch 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)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The electricity market should be liberalized and it is one of the few core tasks of the state to guarantee an ideal energy supply.
Der Strommarkt gehört liberalisiert und es ist eine der wenigen Kernaufgaben des Staates für eine ideale Energieversorgung zu garantieren.
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
The current protection provisions are to be adapted to today's conditions on a selective basis.
Die aktuellen Schutzbestimmungen sollen punktuell an die heutigen Verhältnisse angepasst werden.
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 system of direct payments for farms needs to be fundamentally overhauled, for example, to provide certain incentives.
Das System der Direktzahlungen für Landwirtschaftsbetriebe muss grundsätzlich überabeitet werden, um beispielsweise gewisse Anreize zu setzen.
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 adapted selectively. This benefits the animals as well as the quality of the products.
Die Standards sind bereits heute hoch, können aber punktuell angepasst werden. Das kommt den Tieren wie auch der Qualität der Produkte zugute.
National territory available for biodiversity conservation
Should 30% of Switzerland's land area be dedicated to preserving biodiversity? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
More decisive than an abstract number is the quality of the areas. 30% in the high mountains hardly brings the desired effect.
Entscheidender als eine abstrakte Zahl ist die Qualität der Flächen. 30% im Hochgebirge bringt kaum die erwünschte Wirkung.
Ban on single-use plastics
Would you support a ban on single-use plastic and non-recyclable plastics? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Radical bans are the wrong way to go. Such measures are tantamount to market foreclosure in some cases, since products from developing and emerging countries no longer have to be imported or repackaged at great expense. CO2 should be priced in, then this problem would be regulated by the market.
Radikale Verbote sind der falsche Weg. Solche Massnahmen kommen punktuell einer Marktabschottung gleich, da Produkte aus Entwicklungs- und Schwellenländer nicht mehr importiert oder aufwändig umgepackt werrden müssen. CO2 gehört eingepreist, dann würde dieses Problem über den Markt geregelt werden
More sustainable use of electronic devices
Are you in favour of government measures to make the use of electronic devices more sustainable (e.g., right to repair, extension of warranty period, minimum guaranteed period for software updates)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The circular economy is a good thing. But it should be shaped by companies and also meet their needs. The EU's efforts so far have not led to the desired results. CO2 should be priced in, then this problem would be regulated via the market.
Die Kreislaufwirtschaft ist eine gute Sache. Doch sie soll durch die Unternehmen geprägt sein und auch ihre Bedürfnisse erfüllen. Die bisherigen Bestrebungen der EU führten bisher nicht zu den gewünschten Ergebnissen. CO2 gehört eingepreist, dann würde dieses Problem über den Markt geregelt werden.
Democracy, Media & Digitization
Mobile phone network (5G)
Should the Swiss mobile network be equipped throughout the country with the latest technology (currently 5G standard)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
However, this is not a government task, but that of the mobile network providers.
Dies ist aber keine Staatsaufgabe, sondern die der Mobilfunkanbieter.
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 with each other. One example would be the national electronic identity (E-ID). An intercantonal agreement would be preferable.
Gewisse nationale Standards sind erstrebenswert, damit die Systeme miteinander kompatibel sind. Ein Beispiel wäre die staatliche elektronische Identiät (E-ID). Zu bevorzugen wäre eine interkantonale Vereinbarung.
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
Government regulation would restrict technological progress too much.
Eine staatliche Regulierung würde den Technologiefortschritt allzu stark einschränken.
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
The initiative goes in the right direction. It is important that, for example, an entrepreneur does not pay twice (in the company and in the private household).
Die Initiative geht in die richtige Richtung. Wichtig ist, dass z.B. ein Unternehmer nicht doppelt bezahlt (im Betrieb und im Privathaushalt).
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
"With new rights should always come new responsibilities. Good participation opportunities for young people already exist. Furthermore, we are of the opinion that reaching the age of consent should be the yardstick for the voting age. If SRA 16 is wanted, then there would have to be a fundamental discussion about the age of consent. "
"Mit neuen Rechten sollte immer auch neue Pflichten verbunden sein. Gute Partizipationsmöglichkeiten für Jugendliche sind bereits vorhanden. Weiter sind wir der Ansicht, dass das Erreichen der Mündigkeit der Massstab für das Stimmrechtalter sein soll. Wenn SRA 16 gewollt, dann müsste eine grundsätzliche Diskussion über das Mündigkeitsalter geführt werden. "
Introducing an optional financial referendum against federal spending
Should it be possible to hold a referendum on federal spending above a certain amount (optional financial referendum)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I am an advocate of direct democracy, but such an instrument would further slow down the capacity for action or agility of the political establishment.
Ich bin ein Verfechter der direkten Demokratie, doch würde ein solches Instrument die Handlungsfähigkeit bzw. Agilität des Politikbetriebs weiter bremsen.
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 army to fulfill its constitutional mandate, the army budget and the target level must be increased.
Damit die Armee ihren Verfassungsauftrag erfüllen kann, muss das Armeebudget und der Sollbestand erhöht werden.
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. Joining NATO, on the other hand, must be clearly rejected. The army needs a doctrine again, because in the current state the army could not defend SChweiz, we must be aware of this in such questions.
Eine stärkere Zusammenarbeit ist für die Sicherheit der Schweiz wichtig. Ein NATO-Beitritt ist hingegen klar abzulehnen. Die Armee braucht wieder eine Doktrin, denn im aktuellen Zustand könnte die Armee die SChweiz nicht verteidigen, dies müssen wir uns bei solchen Fragen bewusst sein.
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
A blocking period of 5 years is to apply. What is the point of exporting material if it could not even be used properly by the states in the event of war? The Swiss arms industry (essential for the armed forces) could be crushed in the event of a ban on general exports.
Es soll eine Sperrfrist von 5 Jahren gelten. Wozu Material exportieren, wenn es im Kriegsfall von den Staaten nicht mal richtig eingesetzt werden könnte. Die Schweizer Rüstungsindustrie (essenziell für die Armee) könnte bei einem Verbot der generellen Ausfuhr eingestampft werden.
Scumonda da visar automaticamain la fatscha en locals publics
Should automatic facial recognition be banned in public spaces?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Systematic monitoring should be rejected, the state should not be allowed to build up such competences, misuse is too dangerous.
Eine systamatische Überwachung ist abzulehnen, dem Staat darf keine solchen Kompetenzen aufbauen, zu gefährlich ist ein Missbrauch.
Denounce the Schengen Agreement and strengthen border controls
Should Switzerland terminate the Schengen agreement with the EU and reintroduce more security checks directly on the border? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The Schengen/Dublin agreement creates security (Schengen Information System) and prevents Switzerland from becoming a magnet for asylum seekers from the EU. As long as security can be guaranteed, I see no reason for further border controls.
Das Schengen/Dublin Abkommen schafft Sicherheit (Schengener Informationssystem) und verhindert, dass die Schweiz zum Magneten für Asylbewerber aus der EU wird. Sofern die Sicherheit gewährleistet werden kann, sehe ich keinen Grund für weitere Grenzkontrollen.
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
The bilateral path must be safeguarded and further developed. I reject accession or greater political integration.

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 of central importance to our economy, benefiting consumers as well as our companies.
Freihandelsabkommen sind für unsere Volkswirtschaft von zentraler Bedeutung, so profitieren Konsumentinnen und Konsumenten, wie auch unsere Unternehmen.
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 far too extreme. A small nursery that imports flowers has limited control over suppliers abroad.
Das ist viel zu extrem. Eine kleine Gärtnerei, die Blumen importiert, kann die Zulieferer im Ausland nur begrenzt kontrollieren.
Terminate bilateral agreements with the EU
Should Switzerland terminate the Bilateral Agreements with the EU and seek a free trade agreement without the free movement of persons?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Comment
The bilateral path must be safeguarded and further developed. We reject accession or stronger political integration.
Der Bilaterale Weg muss gesichert und weiterentwickelt werden. Ein Beitritt oder eine stärkere poliische Integration lehnen wir ab.
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 is not an end in itself, but should serve Switzerland's security and foreign policy.
Die Neutralität ist kein Selbstzweck, sondern soll der Sicherheit und der Aussenpolitik der Schweiz dienen.
