| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|

I consider the measures taken so far to be sufficient. It may be promoted, e.g. through good information preparation and cost absorption, but it should not be an obligation.
Die bisherigen Massnahmen erachte ich als ausreichend. Es darf gefördert werden z.B durch gute Informationsaufbereitung und Kostenübernahme, es soll aber keine Pflicht sein.

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

The costs of potential diseases are borne by all. The abolition of subsidies would be a first step toward reversing the trend.

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In a time of crisis, it is incredibly difficult to find the balance between security and freedom. Not everything went well. But it is important to learn from these processes and to continue the discourse and cooperation with everyone.
In einer Krisenzeit ist es unglaublich Schwer die Balance zwischen Sicherheit und Freiheit zu finden. Es lief nicht alles top. Doch wichtig ist, dass nun aus diesen Prozessen gelernt wird, und man den Diskurs und die Zusammenarbeit mit Allen weiterführt.

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 a valuable measure for developing social skills and support at all levels. However, this can only succeed if the framework conditions and resources are sufficiently available. With a lack of skilled workers... inclusion cannot be lived in the desired framework.
Inklusion ist eine wertvolle Massnahme um Sozialkompetenzen und Förderung auf allen Ebenen zu entwickeln. Das gelingt jedoch nur wen die Rahmenbedingungen und Ressourcen ausreichend vorhanden sind. Mit Fachkräftemangel... kann Inklusion nicht im gewünschten Rahmen gelebt werden.
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
Yes, for one thing. The dual education system and the possibility of reaching one's goal via different paths is a good institution in Switzerland. I also consider it important that the path via vocational training is promoted and made more attractive.
Ja zum einen. Das duale Bildungssystem und die Möglichkeit, über verschiedene Wege ans Ziel zu kommen ist eine gute Einrichtung in der Schweiz. Ich erachte es zudem als wichtig, das der Weg über die Berufslehre gefördert und Attraktiver gemacht wird.

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
We can afford skilled workers from abroad, in the short term this is a solution for the domestic market. However, the problem is also big outside. Therefore, targeted education and support measures should be aimed for in the long term.
Wir können uns Fachkräfte aus dem Ausland leisten, kurzfristig ist das eine Lösung für das Inland. Das Problem ist jedoch auch ausserhalb gross. Daher wäre gezielte Bildung und Fördermassnahmen langfristig anzustreben.
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
Those who have a reason for asylum should receive due process under regular circumstances. This is already a challenge for many countries. Switzerland has continuously developed in the topic and is on a good course. I cannot imagine that such an accommodation outside Europe will bring an improvement.
Wer einen Asylgrund hat soll ein ordentliches Verfahren unter geregelten Umständen erhalten. Das stellt viele Länder bereits vor eine Herausforderung. Die Schweiz hat sich in der Thematik laufend weiterentwickelt und ist auf gutem Kurs. Ich kann mir nicht vorstellen, das so eine Unterbringung ausserhalb Europas eine Verbesserung bringt.
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
The communities should be able to decide this for themselves. It can be a good first step to get actively involved in Democratic Switzerland and to get to know the system. At the community level, the issues are often easier to understand.
Das sollen die Gemeinden selbst entscheiden können. Es kann einen guten erster schritt sein, um sich aktiv an der Demokratischen Schweiz zu beteiligen, und das System kennen zu lernen. Auf Gemeindeebene sind die Themen oft einfacher nachvollziehbar.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

There are positive aspects, which also have a medical benefit. The regulations for this are in place. Because of the negative effects, I see a legalization critically.

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
Equalizing unequal couple forms results in biological challenges that raise ethical questions. Equality in all areas is unrealistic.
Ungleiche Paarformen gleichzustellen ergibt biologische Herausforderungen welche Ethische Fragen aufwerfen. Eine Gleichstellung in allen Bereichen ist unrealistisch.

Reduce taxes at the federal level
Do you support tax cuts at the federal level over the next four years?

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
Internships are valuable for gaining experience. It would not be realistic for companies to pay such a wage to interns.
Praktikumsstellen sind wertvoll um Erfahrung zu sammeln. Es wäre für Betriebe nicht realistisch einen solchen Lohn an Praktikant*innen zu bezahlen.

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
Electricity/energy supply is a big issue that needs to be fundamentally addressed and strategically overarched. This can be a step.
Die Strom/Energieversorgung ist ein grosses Thema, welches grundlegend angegangen und Strategisch übergeordnet angegangen werden muss. Das kann einen Schritt sein.
Make housing construction regulations more flexible
Should housing construction regulations be relaxed (e.g., noise protection, occupancy rates)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

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
Whether a ban is needed is difficult for me to judge. New guidelines will change demand and mobility behavior. Alternatives must be available to meet demand. E.g. sufficient public transport infrastructure.
Ob es ein Verbot braucht, kann ich schwer beurteilen. Neue Richtlinien werden die Nachfrage und das Mobilitätsverhalten verändern. Alternativen müssen Bedarfsdeckend vorhanden sein. Z.B. Ausreichende ÖV Infrastruktur.
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
To achieve climate targets, everyone has to give up some luxury. This is rarely done voluntarily. Incentives are good, but often expensive and inefficient. Depending on the situation, a ban may have a faster effect.
Um Klimaziele zu erreichen müssen alle auf etwas Luxus verzichten. Das macht man selten Freiwillig. Anreize sind gut, aber oft teuer und ineffizient. Je nachdem zeigt ein Verbot schneller seine Wirkung.
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
Do one thing and don't do another: At least as important as the expansion of renewable energies is the reduction of energy demand...Regulations should only be relaxed moderately, so that other late effects do not arise.
Das Eine tun und das Andere nicht lassen: Mindestens so wichtig wie der Ausbau von Erneuerbaren Energien ist das reduzieren von Energiebedarf...Vorschriften sollen nur massvoll gelockert werden, dass nicht andere Spätfolgen entstehen.

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
There may be a difference between city and countryside, both have their advantages and disadvantages. A certain level of public service should be guaranteed in rural areas in order to reduce migration.
Es darf ein unterschied von Stadt zu Land geben, beider hat seine Vor- und Nachteile. Ein gewisses mass an Service-Public soll in ländlichen Regionen garantiert sein, um die Abwanderung, zu verringern.
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
Since certain factors that influence my electricity needs cannot be influenced by me as a private individual. (Access to district heating) That would be unfair.
Da gewisse Faktoren, welchen meinen Strombedarf beeinflussen nicht von mir als Privatperson beeinflussbar sind. (Zugang zu Fernwärme) Das wäre unfair.
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 |

A situationally differentiated view is needed. This is because the behavior of these animals varies and, accordingly, their benefit for biodiversity or their potential for harm.
Es braucht eine situativ differenzierte Betrachtung. Denn das Verhalten dieser Tiere variiert und dementsprechend ihr Nutzen für die Biodiversität oder ihr Schadenpotential.

Comment
In order to take demographic change into account, the topic will be debated again and again. However, since measures have only recently been taken (increase in the women's retirement age), I do not see any need for further action at the moment.
Um dem Demografischen Wandel Rechnung zu tragen wird das Thema immer mal wider zur Debatte stehen. Da jedoch erst kürzlich Massnahmen ergriffen wurden (Erhöhung des Frauenrentenalters) sehe ich momentan keinen weiteren Handlungsbedarf.
