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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Politicians must ensure that health insurance premiums do not keep rising. The distribution of premium reductions is only a symptom control.
Die Politik muss dafür sorgen, dass die Krankenkassen-Prämien nicht ständig ansteigen. Die Ausschüttung von Prämienverbilligungen sind nur eine Symptombekämpfung.
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
Taxation and pensions should be independent of marital status, which is why I support individual taxation. In return, however, marital privileges such as widow's pensions would have to be reduced or abolished.
Besteuerung wie Rente sollen unabhängig des Zivilstandes erfolgen, deshalb setze ich mich für die Individualbesteuerung ein. Im Gegenzug müssten dann aber auch Ehe-Privilegien wie Wittwenrenten reduziert oder 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
I support this, but only as part of the overall reform and not as a stand-alone measure.
Befürworte ich, aber nur als Teil der gesamten Reform und nicht als Einzelmassnahme.

| 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
First and foremost, the restriction of freedom must be carried out according to our democratic procedures.
In erster Linie hat die Beschränkung der Freiheit nach unseren demokratischen Verfahren zu erfolgen.
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
Hospital planning and financing are the responsibility of the cantons.
Die Spitalplanung und -finanzierung ist Sache der Kantone.
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
Integrative education as it is practiced today has failed. It has resulted in massive additional costs without added value. Of course, not all children with disabilities can be educated in special schools, but neither can all of them be integrated into regular school classes. The concept must be revised, now!
Die integrative Schulung wie sie heute gelebt wird, ist gescheitert. Sie hat massive Mehrkosten zur Folge ohne Mehrwert. Selbstverständlich sind nicht alle Kinder mit Behinderungen in Sonderschulen zu beschulen, aber eben auch nicht alle in der regulären Schulklasse integrierbar. Das Konzept muss überarbeitet werden, jetzt!
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
All children have the same educational opportunities in elementary school. It is a success story. Special education is already provided for children who need it.
Alle Kinder haben dieselben Bildungschancen in der Volksschule. Sie ist eine Erfolgsgeschichte. Förderunterricht wird bereits heute für Kinder erteilt, die diesen brauchen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Highly qualified workers from third countries should be allowed to work here. However, the quotas have never been exhausted in recent years, so they do not need to be increased.
Hochqualifizierte Arbeitskräfte aus Drittstaaten sollen hier arbeiten dürfen. Die Kontingente wurden allerdings in den letzten Jahren nie ausgeschöpft, also müssen sie auch nicht erhöht werden.
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
The EU's efforts to make asylum procedures at the Schengen external border are correct. According to this, asylum seekers should be distributed among all European states according to a fair distribution key. Today, Switzerland takes in an above-average number of asylum seekers.
Die Bestrebungen der EU, Asylverfahren an der Schengen-Aussengrenze zu machen, ist richtig. Danach sollen die Asylsuchenden nach einem fairen Verteilschlüssel auf alle europäischen Staaten verteilt werden. Die Schweiz nimmt heute überdurchschnittlich viele Asylbewerber auf.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Free choice for private households is the prerequisite for an electricity agreement. However, the electricity suppliers should also be free to choose whom they want to supply, i.e. no right to basic supply.
Die freie Wahl für die Privathaushalte ist die Voraussetzung für ein Stromabkommen. Die Stromlieferanten sollen aber auch die freie Wahl haben, wen sie versorgen möchten, also kein Recht auf Grundversorgung.
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 general, construction bureaucracy is far too high.
Generell ist die Baubürokratie viel zu hoch.

|---|---|---|---|
Energy & transport

|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Relaxation is justified where a large contribution is made to the winter electricity shortfall (e.g. reservoirs). Relaxation is not justified where the contribution to security of supply is marginal.
Eine Lockerung ist dort gerechtfertigt, wo ein grosser Beitrag an die Winterstromlücke geleistet wird (bspw. Stauseen). Nicht gerechtfertigt ist die Lockerung dort, wo der Beitrag zur Versorgungssicherheit marginal ist.
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 we want to achieve the 2050 climate targets, there is no alternative to nuclear energy.
Wenn wir die Klimaziele 2050 erreichen wollen, ist Kernenergie alternativlos.
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
After all, the state is aiming for electrification, so this would certainly be a wrong measure. Our industry would feel the brunt of that. We need a secure, affordable and environmentally friendly energy supply.
Der Staat strebt ja eine Elektrifizierung an, also wäre dies sicher eine falsche Massnahme. Das würde unsere Industrie stark spüren. Wir brauchen eine sichere, bezahlbare und umweltschonende Energieversorgung.

Are you in favor of further relaxing the protection regulations for large predators (lynx, wolf, bear)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I support the current regulation. The requirements for receiving direct payments are already very high today. Switzerland has a great interest in a producing agriculture.
Ich befürworte die aktuelle Regelung. Die Anforderungen an den Erhalt von Direktzahlungen ist bereits heute sehr hoch. Die Schweiz hat ein grosses Interesse an einer produzierenden Landwirtschaft.
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)?

|---|---|---|---|

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
I would be in favor of a counter-proposal by Parliament. SRG should focus primarily on information and not on entertainment. Fees are permissible and important to be able to cover the different national languages.
Ich würde einen Gegenvorschlag des Parlaments befürworten. Die SRG soll sich primär um Information konzentrieren und nicht um die Unterhaltung. Gebühren sind zulässig und wichtig, um die verschiedenen Landessprachen abdecken zu können.

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, especially for training purposes, is important for the quality of our armed forces. An accession, however, is to be strictly rejected.
Eine Zusammenarbeit v.a. zu Trainingszwecken ist wichtig für die Qualität unserer Armee. Ein Beitritt aber ist strikte abzulehnen.

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]
