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
The pension disparity between couples with and without a marriage certificate is unfair.
Die Rentenunterschiede zwischen Paaren mit und ohne Trauschein ist unfair.
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
The adjustment makes sense due to the currently higher life expectancy. However, the reduction in the conversion rate hits part-time workers twice and must therefore not be adopted as an individual measure: With the high coordination deduction, part-time workers and low earners can save little for old age and lose what little they have through the pension reduction.
Die Anpassung macht Sinn aufgrund der gegenwärtig höheren Lebenserwartung. Die Senkung des Umwandlungssatzes trifft jedoch Teilzeitarbeitende doppelt und darf deshalb nicht als Einzelmassnahme beschlossen werden: Mit dem hohen Koordinationsabzug können Teilzeitarbeitende und schlecht Verdienende wenig fürs Alter ansparen und verlieren das Wenige noch durch die Rentenkürzung.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Due to the housing shortage, non-profit housing must be promoted, which makes housing affordable.
Aufgrund der Wohnungsnot muss der Gemeinnützige Wohnungsbau gefördert werden, der wohnen erschwinglich macht.
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 rates have deteriorated, which means that outbreaks of childhood diseases that were thought to have been eradicated are on the rise again. If these rates continue to deteriorate, a mandatory vaccination program will have to be considered.
Die Impfraten haben sich verschlechtert, womit Ausbrüche von ausgerottet geglaubten Kinderkrankheiten wieder zunehmen. Verschlechtern sich diese Zahlen weiter, muss über ein Obligatorium nachgedacht werden.
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
Sugar consumption in Switzerland is far above the recommended WHO levels and leads to many chronic diseases.
Der Zuckerkonsum in der Schweiz liegt weit über den empfohlenen WHO-Werten und führt zu vielen chronischen Erkrankungen.
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
The Swiss population already covers about one third of all health care services with deductibles, copayments, dentist and optician fees, etc.
Die Schweizer Bevölkerung übernimmt bereits heute mit Franchisen, Selbstbehalten, Zahnarzt- und Optikerkosten usw. rund einen Drittel aller Gesundheitsleistungen.
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
Health crises require quick solutions, which in Switzerland can only be implemented by the executive. Switzerland has nevertheless managed to vote on Covid bills three times, which shows a voice for the population.
Gesundheitskrisen verlangen schnelle Lösungen, die in der Schweiz nur durch die Exekutive umgesetzt werden können. Die Schweiz hat es trotzdem geschafft, dreimal über Covid-Vorlagen abzustimmen, was ein Mitspracherecht der Bevölkerung zeigt.
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
Hardly feasible; Even at the federal level, too many stakeholders want to have a say. Even the implementation of a new tariff for outpatient services takes years.
Kaum machbar; Auch auf Bundesebene wollen zu viele Anspruchsgruppen mitbestimmen. Bereits die Umsetzung eines neuen Tarifs für ambulante Leistungen dauert Jahre.
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 of weaker students makes sense. It requires sufficient resources for individual support. If these are lacking, inclusive schools can push teachers to their limits and prevent children without learning difficulties from developing.
Inklusion von schwächeren SchülerInnen ist sinnvoll. Sie erfordert genügend Ressourcen für die individuelle Unterstützung. Fehlen diese, kann die integrative Schule Lehrpersonen an ihre Grenzen bringen und Kinder ohne Lernschwierigkeiten an ihrer Entwicklung hindern.
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 requirements are not to be increased or decreased.
Die Anforderungen sollen weder erhöht noch verringert werden.
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
Equality of opportunity in Swiss schools is not at its best. New learning models and a good mix of classes are probably better approaches than vouchers for private lessons.
Um die Chancengleichheit in der Schweizer Schule steht es nicht zum besten. Neue Lernmodelle und eine gute Durchmischung der Klassen sind vermutlich bessere Ansätze als Gutscheine für Nachhilfeunterricht.
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
In Aargau, the naturalization requirements have been continuously tightened in recent years (the period of residence in the municipality for the naturalization procedure is no longer appropriate).
Im Aargau wurden die Einbürgerungsanforderungen in den letzten Jahren dauernd verschärft (Wohnsitzfrist in der Gemeinde für das Einbürgerungsverfahren ist nicht mehr zeitgemäss)
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 recognition of training in non-EU/EFTA countries must be adapted; there are many people who have completed training in their countries that is not recognized in Switzerland. In this way, professionals are degraded to auxiliary workers, which makes no sense for the individual, for the economy or for the welfare state.
Die Anerkennung von Ausbildungen in Nicht-EU/EFTA-Staaten sind unbedingt anzupassen; Es gibt viele Menschen, die in ihren Ländern Ausbildungen absolviert haben, die in der Schweiz nicht anerkannt werden. So werden Fachpersonen zu Hilfskräften degradiert, was weder für das Individuum, für die Wirtschaft noch für den Sozialstaat sinnvoll 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Asylum procedures must be redeveloped on a pan-European basis (Frontex, allocation of asylum seekers to individual countries, etc.). It does not make sense for Switzerland to go it alone, even if the asylum applications were carried out in a humane manner and in accordance with the rule of law.
Die Asylverfahren müssen gesamteuropäisch neu entwickelt werden (Frontex, Zuteilungen der Asylbewerbenden auf die einzelnen Länder usw.). Ein Alleingang der Schweiz ist nicht sinnvoll auch wenn die Asylgesuche menschenwürdig und rechtsstaatlich korrekt durchgeführt würden.
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
Foreigners who have lived, worked and paid taxes in Switzerland for ten years should have a say. Since an ever larger part of the population does not have Swiss citizenship, political decisions are made by an ever smaller part of the population, which calls direct democracy into question.
AusländerInnen, die seit zehn Jahren in der Schweiz leben, arbeiten und Steuern bezahlen, sollen ein Mitspracherecht haben. Da ein immer grösserer Teil der Bevölkerung keine Schweizer Staatsbürgerschaft hat, werden politische Entscheidungen von einem immer kleineren Teil der Bevölkerung gefällt, was die direkte Demokratie infrage stellt.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Already the legal consumption of alcohol causes too many problems and too much suffering. Even if the effect of cannabis is different, cannabis remains an addictive substance, with sometimes devastating consequences on the users.
Bereits der legale Alkoholkonsum verursacht zu viele Probleme und zu viel Leid. Auch wenn die Wirkung von Cannabis anders ist, bleibt Cannabis ein Suchtmittel, mit teilweise verheerenden Folgen auf die Konsumenten.
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"?

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
When couples take responsibility for each other in whatever composition, they should have the same rights and obligations. However, I am reluctant when it comes to the "right to have one's own children" through surrogacy and so on.
Wenn Paare in welcher Zusammensetzung auch immer füreinander Verantwortung übernehmen, sollen sie dieselben Rechte und Pflichten haben. Ich bin jedoch zurückhaltend, wenn es um das "Recht auf eigene Kinder" durch Leihmutterschaft usw. geht.
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
At the moment, the federal government is whining about a lack of funds and is putting together austerity programs that don't stop at development aid, childcare subsidies, etc.
Momentan jammert der Bund über fehlende Mittel und schnürt Sparprogramme, die auch vor der Entwicklungshilfe, Kinderbetreuungszuschüsse usw. nicht stoppen
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
I consider inheritances to be the only income that does not have to be earned. Sharing this gift with society through a tax is appropriate. Winnings from lotteries etc. must also be taxed.
Erbschaften erachte ich als das einzige Einkommen, das nicht verdient werden muss. Dieses Geschenk über eine Steuer mit der Gesellschaft zu teilen ist angemessen. Gewinne aus Lotterien usw. müssen auch versteuert werden.
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
A minimum wage prevents the working poor, where employees earn too little to meet their obligations. It is not acceptable that social assistance indirectly becomes economic assistance because of too low wages. Apprentices and trainees are entitled to the minimum wage only after their training as employees.
Ein Mindestlohn verhindert Working poor, wo Arbeitnehmende zu wenig verdienen, um ihren Verpflichtungen nachzukommen. Es kann nicht sein, dass die Sozialhilfe indirekt zur Wirtschaftshilfe wird wegen zu tiefen Löhnen. Lernende sowie PraktikantInnen haben den Mindestlohn erst nach ihrer Ausbildung als Arbeitnehmende zugut.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Whether cell phone subscriptions, health insurance or other services: Many people are overwhelmed or get lost in the hunt for the cheapest offer. Whether liberalization is worthwhile against this background is questionable.
Ob Handyabos, Krankenkassen oder weitere Dienstleistungen: Viele sind damit überfordert oder verlieren sich auf der Jagd nach dem billigsten Angebot. Ob sich die Liberalisierung auf diesem Hintergrund lohnt ist fraglich.
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
Building codes have increased dramatically in recent years.
Die Bauvorschriften haben in den letzten Jahren stark zugenommen.
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
The wage gap is still a fact of life.
Die Lohnunterschiede sind immer noch Tatsache.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Expansion leads to new traffic jams on the feeder roads. Mobility does not have to be developed in car streets. Public transport including new forms such as call or shared cabs as well as bicycle traffic have a great potential for expansion.
Ausbau führt zu neuen Staus auf den Zubringerstrassen. Die Mobilität muss nicht in Autostrassen entwickelt werden. öV inkl.neue Formen wie Ruf- oder Sammeltaxi sowie Veloverkehr haben ein grosses Ausbaupotenzial.
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
Since there is no car industry in Switzerland, new registrations will be based on EU specifications.
Da in der Schweiz keine Autoindustrie existiert, werden sich die Neuzulassungen an den Vorgaben der EU orientieren.
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 nice, but can only encourage small target steps. The climate damage that is also becoming a problem for Switzerland (severe weather events, permafrost retreat, landslides, drought and heat) requires a reversal that will not be achieved with good intentions.
Anreize sind schön, können aber nur kleine Zielschritte begünstigen. Die Klimaschäden, die auch für die Schweiz zu einem Problem werden (Unwetterereignisse, Rückgang von Permafrost, Bergstürze, Trockenheit und Hitze) erfordern eine Umkehr, die mit guten Absichten nicht erreicht wird.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Progressive electricity tariffs would lead to a rethinking of energy consumption and would be a first-rate electricity-saving lever. However, they contradict the market economy, which only discounts additional consumption.
Progressive Stromtarife würden zu einem Umdenken beim Energiekonsum führen und wären ein Stromsparhebel erster Güte. Sie widersprechen jedoch der Marktwirtschaft, die nur den Mehrkonsum rabattiert.
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 protection regulations are currently being relaxed in small steps. The handling of the population with the large carnivores must be taught in order to prevent accidents. Likewise, the agriculture and alpine economy must be supported in the co-existence with the large carnivores.
Die Schutzbestimmungen werden zur Zeit in kleinen Schritten gelockert. Der Umgang der Bevölkerung mit den Grossraubtieren muss gelehrt werden, um Unfälle zu verhindern. Ebenso muss die Land- und Alpwirtschaft in der Co-Existenz mit den Grossraubtieren unterstützt werden.
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Stricter animal welfare regulations result in higher food prices.
Strengere Tierschutzregelungen haben höhere Lebensmittelpreise zur Folge.
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 under massive pressure due to settlement pressure, climate change, etc. and needs sufficient space.
Die Biodiversität ist aufgrund des Siedlungsdruckes, der Klimaveränderungen usw. massiv unter Druck und benötigt genügend Raum.
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
A ban on single-use plastic complicates logistics. Plastic recycling is still in its infancy.
Ein Verbot von Einwegplastik verkompliziert die Logistik. Das Kunststoffrecycling steckt noch in den Kinderschuhen.
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
Sustainable use is to be encouraged; it has great, positive effects on the environment and reduces the business of quick profit.
Eine nachhaltige Nutzung ist zu fördern; sie hat grosse, positive Auswirkungen auf die Umwelt und reduziert das Wirtschaften mit schnellem Gewinn.
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
Still too little is known about the "side effects" of this technology. Communication tools should also be tested before they are used/distributed. Genetic engineering in plants, for example, is being approached more cautiously.
Noch immer weiss man zu wenig über die "Nebenwirkungen" dieser Technik. Auch Kommunikationsmittel sollen ausgetestet werden, bevor sie eingesetzt/verbreitet werden. Die Gentechnologie bei Pflanzen beispielsweise wird vorsichtiger angegangen.
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 |

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 |

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 preparation of news is a skilled job that comes at a price. Factual information is not only indispensable for a democracy. In the wide range of false reports and conspiracy theories, good journalism is more necessary than ever.
Die Aufbereitung von Nachrichten ist eine Facharbeit, die ihren Preis hat. Sachgerechte Informationen sind nicht nur für eine Demokratie unabdingbar. Im grossen Angebot von Falschmeldungen und Verschwörungstheorien ist guter Journalismus notwendiger denn je.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Young people who are interested in politics should be allowed to exercise the right to vote and to be elected. During education in secondary level 2, civics can not only be learned theoretically but also practiced practically. In this way, young people who previously had no political interests can also be reached. The proportion of young people who vote can be increased.
Jugendliche, die sich politisch interessieren, sollen das aktive Stimm- und Wahlrecht ausüben dürfen. Während der Ausbildung in der Sekundarstufe 2 kann Staatskunde nicht nur theoretisch gelernt sondern auch praktisch ausgeübt werden. Damit können auch Jugendliche erreicht werden, die zuvor noch keine politischen Interessen verspürten. Der Stimm- und Wahlanteil bei der jungen Bevölkerung kann sich erhöhen.
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)?

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Cooperation must be defined as give and take. At present, Switzerland benefits in the middle of Europe from the cooperation of the neighboring NATO countries without having to get involved.
Die Zusammenarbeit muss als Geben und Nehmen definiert werden. Zur Zeit profitiert die Schweiz mitten in Europa von der Zusammenarbeit der angrenzenden NATO-Staaten, ohne sich engagieren zu müssen.
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
Even a war of aggression that violates international law cannot be settled with more weapons. In order to end the suffering of war, diplomatic efforts are indispensable. Switzerland, as a neutral nation, could create opportunities for talks. As a neutral nation it has a different role than the neighboring states and does not have to interfere in arms deals but can provide other good offices.
Auch ein völkerrechtswidriger Angriffskrieg kann nicht mit noch mehr Waffen beigelegt werden. Um das Kriegsleid zu beenden, sind diplomatische Bemühungen unabdingbar. Die Schweiz könnte als neutraler Staat Gesprächsmöglichkeiten schaffen. Als neutrale Nation hat sie eine andere Rolle als die Nachbarstaaten und muss sie sich nicht in Waffengeschäfte einmischen sondern kann andere gute Dienste zur Verfügung stellen.

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 EU is Switzerland's neighbor! Researching, doing business, etc. in a similar cultural area is easier than cooperating with China and absolutely necessary. The missing framework agreement leads to deteriorations e.g. in education programs or in research.
Die EU ist der Nachbar der Schweiz! Das Forschen, Wirtschaften usw. in einem ähnlichen Kulturkreis ist einfacher als die Zusammenarbeit mit China und absolut notwendig. Das fehlende Rahmenabkommen führt zu Verschlechterungen z.B. bei Bildungsprogrammen oder bei der Forschung.

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
In a globalized world, social and environmental standards cannot apply only to European countries. Social injustices and environmental damage in third world countries lead to migration, which is how we pay for the cheapest products with integration programs.
In einer globalisierten Welt können die Sozial- und Umweltstandards nicht nur für europäische Länder gelten. Soziale Ungerechtigkeiten und Umweltschäden in Drittweltstaaten führen zu Migration, womit wir die Billigstprodukte mit Integrationsprogrammen bezahlen.

Food should have its price: It makes no sense for the state to compensate agriculture for its work and thus educate the consumer that food should hardly cost anything. The population has sufficient financial means for processed food (which is relatively expensive), and can therefore also afford unprocessed food. The subsidies have deprived agriculture of the power of innovation: one produces what is compensated by the state.
Lebensmittel sollen ihren Preis haben: Es ist sinnlos, wenn der Staat die Landwirtschaft entschädigt für ihre Arbeit und damit den Konsumenten dahingehend erzieht, dass Lebensmittel kaum etwas kosten dürfen. Die Bevölkerung hat genügend finanzielle Mittel für verarbeitete Lebensmittel (diese sind verhältnismässig teuer), vermag somit auch unverarbeitete Lebensmittel. Die Subventionen haben der Landwirtschaft die Innovationskraft genommen: man produziert, was vom Staat entschädigt wird.

The increase in the women's pension age (incl. BVG adjustments for part-time salaries) has not yet been implemented, which is why a further increase is currently unadjusted.
