Welfare state & family
Raise the retirement age to 67
Do you support an increase in the retirement age (e.g., to 67)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Health insurance premiums
Should the federal government allocate more funding for health insurance premium subsidies?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Absolutely abolish this injustice.
Unbedingt dies Ungerechtigkeit abschaffen.
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
Costs are rising in all areas of life, how can less pension improve this? The pension funds should invest the money more profitably and take less risk.
Die kosten steigen in allen Lebensbereichen, wie soll weniger Rente dies verbessern? Die Pensionskassen sollen das Geld gewinnbringender Anlegen und weniger Risiko eingehen.
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
This would be desirable if it can be financed.
Dies wäre erstrebenswert, wenn es finanzierbar ist.
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 gap between rich and poor is widening. Affordable housing is hard to find for low-income earners, which is why it is essential to support non-profit housing construction so that enough affordable housing is available. As in the examples of cooperative housing.
Die Schere zwischen arm und reich geht immer weiter auseinander. Bezahlbarer Wohnraum ist kaum noch zu finden für wenig Verdiener, deswegen muss der gemeinnützige Wohnungsbau unbedingt unterstützt werden, damit genügend bezahlbare Wohnungen zur Verfügung stehen. Wie in den Beispielen von Genossenschaftswohnungsbau.
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
Only for basic vaccinations to protect vulnerable individuals.
Nur bei den Grundimpfungen zum Schutz der vulnerablen Personen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 federal government did many things very well during the pandemic. From situations that were not so well solved, the federal government has drawn its conclusions and will certainly improve them in the future, if it will be necessary again. In addition, an authority must be able to take over the coordination of rules and regulations in such a situation, otherwise chaos will reign.
Der Bund hat viele Dinge während der Pandemie sehr gut gemacht. Aus Situationen die nicht so gut gelöst waren, hat der Bund seine Rückschlüsse gezogen und wird diese in der Zukunft, falls es nochmals nötig seine wird sicherlich verbessern. Zudem muss eine Instanz die Koordination der Regeln und Vorschriften in so einer Situation übernehmen können, sonst wird das Chaos herrschen.
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
This would certainly lead to cost reductions. However, the question will arise whether everyone will then really still have access to all medical care facilities. For the population, it would certainly be associated with a lot of additional effort if the distances are even further than they are today for certain regions.
Dies würde sicherlich zur Kostensenkungen führen. Jedoch wird sich hier die Frage stellen ob dann wirklich alle noch Zugang zu allen Medizinischen Vorsorge Einrichtungen haben. Für die Bevölkerung würde es sicherlich mit viel Mehraufwand verbunden sein, wenn die Wege noch weiter sind als für gewisse Regionen heute schon.
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
From my own experience I think that this system is not suitable for all children with special needs. They do not receive enough individual support. Due to the resulting heterogeneity of a class, the teachers can no longer meet the individual needs of other children. The teachers must be protected. This only works if there is enough trained staff available and enough money to pay for it.
Aus eigener Erfahrung denke ich das dieses System nicht für alle Kinder mit besonderem unterstützungsbedarf geeignet ist. Sie erhalten nicht genügend individuelle Förderung. Durch die dadurch entstehende Heterogenität einer Klasse können die Lehrpersonen den einzelnen Bedürfnissen von anderen Kindern gar nicht mehr gerecht werden. Die Lehrpersonen müssen geschützt werden. Dies funktioniert nur wenn genügend ausgebildetes Personal zur Verfügung steht und genügend Geldmittel um dies zu bezahlen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
It would be desirable if the whole of Switzerland had a uniform regulation for naturalization. Just as the residence period does not restart with every change of residence.
Es wäre wünschenswert wenn die ganze Schweiz eine einheitliche Regelung hätte zur Einbürgerung. Genau so wie die Wohnsitzfrist nicht bei jedem Wohnortswechsel wider neu startet.
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 the work areas where this is indispensable.
In den Arbeitsbereichen in denen dies unabdingbar ist.
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 they pay taxes, they should also have a say.
Wenn sie Steuern zahlen, sollen sie auch mitbestimmen können.

Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
People who do not feel that they belong to any explicit gender should be allowed to express this with the third gender.
Personen die sich keinem expliziten Geschlecht zugehörig fühlen, sollten dies mit dem dritten Geschlecht kundtun dürfen.
Equality between same-sex and heterosexual couples
Do you think it's right for same-sex couples to have the same rights as heterosexual couples in all areas?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Finances & taxes
Reduce taxes at the federal level
Do you support tax cuts at the federal level over the next four years?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This would treat everyone equally, whether married or not. This would make the marriage penalty disappear. There are already many cantons that practice this successfully.
Dadurch wird jeder Mensch gleich behandelt, egal ob verheiratet oder nicht. Damit würde die Heiratsstrafe verschwinden. Es gibt bereits viele Kantone die dies schon erfolgreich praktizieren.
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
Not for spouses Spouses and direct descendants.
Nicht bei Ehegattinnen Ehegatten und direkten Nachkommen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
In Switzerland, you can not survive everywhere with less than 4000. In the big cities this is almost impossible because the living space is already not affordable.
In der Schweiz kann man mit weniger als 4000.- nicht überall überleben. In den Grossstädten ist dies nahezu unmöglich da dort schon der Wohnraum nicht bezahlbar ist.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
I don't see it that way with noise protection, but with the utilization rate. In the future, we must conserve our land resources, and we will only succeed if we increase the utilization rates and build more densely than before. Especially in the cities and central areas.
Beim Lärmschutz sehe ich das nicht so, aber bei der Ausnutztungsziffer. Wir müssen in der Zukunft unsere Landressourcen schonen und dies gelingt uns nur wenn wir die Nutzungsziffern erhöhen und dichter bebauen als bis anhin. Vor allem in den Städten und Zentrumsgebieten.
Wage equality between women and men

|---|---|---|---|
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
When we have a good alternative, I will support it. At the moment it seems that everything is going to electric cars, this will lead to problems in the future just like when we only drive combustion cars. There has to be another alternative like hydrogen powered cars. Or we become completely innovative and develop our railroad infrastructure in such a way that it becomes possible to travel individually, with mobile individual capsules or so.
Wenn wir eine gute Alternative dazu haben werde ich dies unterstützen. Im Moment zeichnet sich ab das alles auf Elektroautos setzt, dies wird in der Zukunft genau so zu Problemen führen wie wenn wir nur Verbrenner fahren. Es muss unbedingt noch eine weitere Alternative geben wie zum Beispiel Wasserstoff betriebenen Autos. Oder wir werden vollkommen innovativ und bauen unserer Bahninfrastruktur so aus, dass es möglich wird individuell zu reisen, mit fahrbaren Einzelkapseln oder so.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Only if a lot of energy can really be generated, not for small projects that bring only little.
Nur wenn wirklich viel Energie gewonnen werden kann, nicht für Kleinprojekte die nur wenig bringen.
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
We still have a lot of potential to expand our power supply with our own hydroelectric power plants, better use of solar energy and possibly also with wind power plants.
Wir haben noch viel Potenzial um unserer Stromversorgung auszubauen mit eigenen Wasserkraftwerken, Sonnenenergie besser nutzen und evtl. auch mit Windkraftwerken.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Only where it would still be possible to reduce electricity consumption through new technologies, so that they are forced to reduce their electricity consumption. All industries that cannot save more electricity should not be burdened with higher tariffs.
Nur dort wo es noch möglich wäre den Stromverbrauch zu senken durch neue Technologien, damit diese dazu gezwungen werden ihren Stromverbrauch zu senken. Alle Industrien die nicht mehr Strom sparen können, sollten nicht mit höheren Tarifen zusätzlich belastet 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
Absolutely, as this would prevent a lot of waste and unnecessary consumption of rare earths.
Unbedingt, da dies sehr viel Abfall und unnötiger Verbrauch von seltenen Erden verhindern würde.

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
Very important in this day and age with all the disinformation being spread.
Ganz wichtig in der heutigen Zeit mit den vielen Desinformationen die verbreitet werden.

Our agriculture would certainly not benefit from it and so would the population. Just as our nature does not benefit from all the masses of tourists trampling through, but we live from tourism so we must find a healthy measure.
Unsere Landwirtschaft würde sicher nicht davon profitieren und dadurch auch nicht die Bevölkerung. Genau so profitiert unsere Natur nicht von all den Massen an Touristen die hindurchtrampelt, aber wir leben vom Tourismus also müssen wir ein gesundes Mass finden.

Our children benefit from having a safe and stable environment. This does not mean that they must necessarily be cared for by one parent.

Comment
I see many good and also great opportunities in digitization. However, I find the risk very high, with all the hacker attacks and the disinformation that can be spread quickly and everywhere. Also with the control of every single person that takes place through digitalization. Not to mention the pressure that social media exerts on our young people and adults.
Ich sehe viele gute und auch grosse Chancen in der Digitalisierung. Jedoch finde ich das Risiko sehr hoch, mit all den Hackerangriffen und den Desinformationen die schnell und überall verbreitet werden können. Genauso mit der Kontrolle jeder einzelner Person die durch die Digitalisierung stattfindet. Nicht zu vergessen den Druck den die Sozial Media auf unsere Jugendliche und auch Erwachsene ausübt.
Punish criminals
What is your position the following statement: "Punishing criminals is more important than reintegrating them into society."
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Reintegration is much more important than punishment. If we manage to encourage these people to get their lives under control and give them these opportunities to regain a foothold in society, we achieve much more. If this does not take place, the number of repeat offenders is much higher and thus also burdens the state budget much more.
Die Wiedereingliederung ist viel höher zu werten als die Bestrafung. Wenn wir es schaffen diese Menschen dazu anzuhalten ihr Leben in den Griff zu bekommen und ihnen diese Möglichkeiten geben wider Fuss zu fassen in der Gesellschaft erreichen wir viel mehr. Wenn dies nicht stattfindet ist die Zahl der Wiederholungstäter viel höher und belastest dadurch auch den Staatshaushalt viel mehr.

I would most likely be in favor of a single health insurance fund and not increasing our health care costs through unnecessary bureaucracy and duplication.
Am ehesten wäre ich dafür das es eine Einheitskasse geben würde und unsere Gesundheitskosten nicht durch unnötige Bürokratie und Zweigleisigkeit verteuert wird.
