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
Depending on the canton, health insurance is already supported for those in need.
Die Krankenkassen werden je nach Kanton bereits für Bedürftige unterstützt.
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 marriage penalty must be abolished.
Die Heiratsstrafe muss 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
The current conversion rates are no longer appropriate and can only be guaranteed if the young employees finance the pensioners.
Die heutigen Umwandlunssätze sind nicht mehr zeitgemäss und können nur gewährleistet werden indem die jungen Arbeitnehmer, die Pensionierten finanzieren.
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
Paternity leave has only recently been increased, it is not fair to raise this issue again after such a short time. It is also important to take into account the shortage of skilled workers and small SMEs, which cannot grant generous paternity leave. This question does not have to be defined by the state, but should be defined individually by each company.
Der Vaterschaftsurlaub wurde erst vor Kurzem angehoben, es ist nicht redlich, diese Frage schon nach so kurzer Zeit wieder zu stellen. Auch gilt es den Fachkräftemangel und kleine KMUs zu berücksichtigen, welche keine grosszügigen Vaterschaftsurlaube gewähren können. Diese Frage muss nicht vom Staat vorgegeben sondern soll individuell von jedem Unternehme definiert werden.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
It has been proven that there are still diseases that have not been eradicated because not everyone is vaccinated. There is a difference if the vaccinations are vaccines that have been in use for decades and have been proven to have no side effects.
Bewiesenermassen gibt es immer noch Krankheiten, die nicht ausgerottet werden konnten weil sich eben nicht alle impfen. Es ist ein Unterschied ob es sich bei den Impfungen um Vakzine handelt die seit Jahrzehnten im Einsatz sind und bewiesenermassen keine Nebenwirkungen hervorrufen.
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
It cannot be that the state also defines this. The traffic light system of certain brands is certainly more helpful here.
Es kann nicht sein, dass der Staat dies auch noch definiert. Hier ist das Ampelsystem gewisser Marken sicherlich hilfreicher.
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
In the hope that people will not immediately run to the doctor for every little thing and overburden the health care system.
In der Hoffnung, dass man nicht wegen jeder Bagatelle sogleich zum Arzt rennt und das Gesundheitssystem überfordert.
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 arc was partly overstretched in the last pandemic....but of course, in hindsight we are always much smarter.
Der Bogen wurde in der letzten Pandemie z.T. überspannt....aber klar, im Nachhinein sind wir immer viel schlauer.
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 put an end to regional chauvinism, and massive cost savings could be made by closing unprofitable hospitals, which is political suicide on a cantonal basis and no one dares to address. With the current status, we do not have to be surprised about the high health insurance premiums.
Damit würde der Regionalchauvinismus enden und es könnten massiv Kosten gespart werden, wenn man unrentable Spitäler schliessen könnte, was auf kantonaler Basis politischer Selbstmord ist und sich niemand getraut anzusprechen. Beim momentanen Status müssen wir uns nicht über die hohen Krankenkassenprämien wundern.
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
Children with disabilities and learning difficulties put a strain on the teaching staff as well as the class. They are better off in small classes.
Kinder mit Behinderungen und Lernschwierigkeiten belasten z.T. das Lehrpersonal wie auch die Klasse. Sie sind in Kleinklassen besser aufgehoben.
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
...in the hope that there will be an increase in the number of students who complete a conventional vocational apprenticeship and go on to study....at a later date.
...in der Hoffnung, dass es vermehrt Schüler gibt, welche eine konventionelle Berufslehre absolvieren und zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt ein Studium machen....berufsbegleitend.
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
In our system, everyone has the same opportunities, no matter what social class you come from.
In unserem System haben alle die gleichen Chancen, egal aus welcher sozialen Schicht man stammt.
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
Swiss citizenship is a privilege and only qualified people should become citizens.
Die Schweizer Staatsbürgerschaft ist ein Privileg und es sollen nur qualifizierte Personen auch Staatsbürger werden.
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
With the emphasis on qualified and due to the shortage of skilled workers, especially in IT.
Mit der Betonung auf Qualifiziert und aufgrund des Fachkräftemangels insbesondere in der IT.
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 problem in many cases is that there is no agreement with the countries of origin on deportation and thus too many economic refugees are in Switzerland and cannot be deported after a negative asylum decision.
Das Problem ist in vielen Fällen, dass es mit den Herkunftsstaaten keine Übereinkunft zur Abschiebung gibt und somit zu viele Wirtschaftsflüchtlinge in der Schweiz sind und nach einem negativen Asylsentscheid nicht abgeschoben werden können.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This would relieve the police and decriminalize the scene. The important thing is that it is under state control.
Das gäbe eine Entlastung der Polizei und die Szene würde entkriminalisiert. Wichtig ist, dass es unter Staatlicher Kontrolle ist.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
in any case.
auf jeden Fall.
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
In order to remain internationally competitive, tax reductions are always to be welcomed. The example of Norway shows that very wealthy people move away if high taxes are imposed on them.
Um international konkurrenzfähig zu bleiben sind Steuersenkungen immer zu begrüssen. Das Beispiel Norwegen zeigt es auf, dass sehr Wohlhabende abwandern, wenn man ihnen hohe Steuer auferlegt.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The marriage penalty in terms of taxes should be abolished.
Die Heiratsstrafe in Sachen Steuern gehört abgeschafft.
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
Assets and income have already been taxed once, it is not acceptable that assets are taxed more than once. Moreover, this issue has already been rejected by the people several times.
Die Vermögen und Einkommen wurden schon einmal versteuert, es geht nicht an, dass die Vermögen mehrfach besteuert werden. Zudem wurde dieses Thema schon mehrfach vom Volk abgelehnt.
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
The recipient cantons, such as the Canton of Berne, must strive to become as independent as possible from the financial equalization system.
Die Nehmerkantone wie z.B. der Kt. Bern müssen sich bemühen, möglichst unabhängig vom Finanzausgleich zu werden.
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
If the employer pays bad wages, he will not find any or unqualified employees. Therefore, it is up to the employer to pay contemporary wages.
Wenn der Arbeitgeber schlechte Löhne bezahlt wird er entsprechend keine od. unqualifizierte Arbeitnehmer finden. Somit ist es am Arbeitgeber, zeitgemässe Löhne zu bezahlen.
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
The fact that this is the second time a bank has had to be rescued, or in the case of CS the state has had to intervene, makes it essential.
Dadurch, dass bereits zum zweiten Mal eine Bank gerettet werden musste bzw. im Falle der CS der Staat eingreifen musste, ist es unerlässlich.
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
Hoping to get more movement in the electricity market, which I think is very static.
In der Hoffnung, dass mehr Bewegung in den Strommarkt kommt, der meiner Meinung nach sehr statisch ist.
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 regulations are at an intolerable level these days and thus unnecessarily delay or increase the cost of sensible projects.
Die Bauvorschriften sind in der heutigen Zeit in einem unerträglichen Ausmass und verzögern bzw. verteuern so unnötigerweise sinnvolle Projekte.
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
There are already regulations and the market also regulates this issue.
Es gibt bereits Vorschriften und der Markt regelt auch diese Frage.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Congestion hours cost the economy a lot of money and this must be prevented.
Staustunden kosten die Wirtschaft sehr viel Geld und dies gilt es zu verhindern.
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 technology of e-cars is established and has proven itself. Without a ban on combustion cars, we will not reach net zero in 2050. It prevents that there are still unreasonable people who still buy a brand new combustion car today.
Die Technologie von E-Autos ist etabliert und hat sich bewiesen. Ohne ein Verbrenner Verbot, werden wir die Netto Null 2050 nicht erreichen. Es verhindert, dass es immer noch unvernünftige Personen gibt, welche heute noch einen nigelnagelneuen Verbrenner kaufen.
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
If incentives and target agreements are not effective in achieving net zero in 2050, there is unfortunately nothing left but bans.
Wenn Anreize und Zielvereinbarungen nicht greifen um Netto Null 2050 zu erreichen, bleibt leider nichts anderes als Verbote übrig.
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
It is imperative that we strengthen hydropower and wind power so that we can produce as much energy as possible ourselves and are thus less exposed to price fluctuations on international electricity markets.
Unbedingt müssen wir die Wasserkraft wie auch die Windkraft stärken, damit wir möglichst einen grossen Anteil der Energie selber produzieren können und somit den Preisschwankungen internationaler Strommärkte weniger ausgesetzt sind.
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
Provided there is progress in technology and the issues of final disposal or a possible super accident can be ruled out, one should be open to technology.
Sofern es einen Fortschritt bei der Technologie gibt und die Fragen der Endlagerung oder ein allfälliger Supergau ausgeschlossen werden kann, sollte man technologieoffen sein.
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
It is a question of price and this is too high in my opinion.
Es ist eine Frage des Preises und dieser ist meiner Meinung nach zu Hoch.
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 market should regulate this and does not need to be dictated by the state. It is important that only clean electricity is imported into Switzerland....d.h. No coal-fired electricity.
Der Markt soll dies regeln und muss nicht vom Staat vorgegeben werden. Wichtig ist, dass nur sauberer Strom in die Schweiz importiert wird....d.h. Kein Kohlestrom.
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 wolf and lynx is a farm animal. The herd protection should be intensified, or is not applied in many cases even though money is available from the federal government.
Der Wolf und Luchs ist ein Nutztier. Der Herdenschutz soll intensiviert werden, bzw. wird in vielen Fällen gar nicht angewendet obwohl Geld vom Bund zur Verfügung steht.
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In particular, agriculture that damages the climate and biodiversity should no longer be subsidized.
Insbesondere Klima- und Biodiversitätsschädigende Landwirtschaft soll nicht mehr subventioniert werden.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Bans are always the last resort. Particularly in Switzerland, with its very well-developed waste incineration plants, the
Verbote sind immer ultimo ratio. Gerade in der Schweiz mit den sehr gut ausgebauten Kehrichtverbrennungsanlange m
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
This is a very important economic factor. Health concerns are to be prevented by appropriate radiation limits.
Das ist ein ganz wichtiger Wirtschaftsfaktor. Gesundheitliche Bedenken sollen durch entsprechende Strahlgrenzwerte verhindert werden.
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
e.g. e-voting should be introduced nationally.
z.B. sollte das E-Voting National eingeführt werden.
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
Especially the big tech companies have a good self-regulation and the data protection law that comes into force on September 1 is unfortunately a good example of our overregulation.
Gerade die grossen Techkonzerne haben eine gute Selbstregulierung und das Datenschutzgesetz das per 1. September in Kraft tritt, ist leider ein gutes Beispiel unserer Überregulierung.
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 |

Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Due to the fact that Switzerland is geographically very small, it makes sense to coordinate with NATO in terms of defense systems, munitions and airspace surveillance and also to pay our contribution.
Dadurch, dass die Schweiz geografisch sehr klein ist, macht es Sinn, sich in Sachen Abwehrsysteme, Munition und Flugraumüberwachung mit der NATO abzustimmen und auch unseren Beitrag zu bezahlen.
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 |

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
Even with an existing Schengen agreement, increased checks on people can be carried out at the border. Especially here, car plate scans as well as face and cargo scans should be allowed.
Auch mit einem bestehenden Schengen Abkommen, kann eine verstärkte Personenkontrolle an der Grenze durchgeführt werden. Gerade hier sollten Autoschilderscans sowie Gesichts-, wie auch Frachtscans erlaubt sein.
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
As our most important trading partner, close cooperation is certainly desirable, but this does not mean that we should automatically adopt all EU legislative changes.
Als unser wichtigster Handelspartner ist eine enge Zusammenarbeit sicherlich wünschenswert, was aber nicht heisst, dass wir automatisch alle Gesetzesänderungen der EU übernehmen sollen.

Comment
We must continue to maintain a cooperative relationship with our most important trading partner.
Mit unserem wichtigsten Handelspartner gilt es weiterhin ein partnerschaftliches Verhältnis zu unterhalten.
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
This ambiguous question is best explained by the example of the Ukraine war. Thus one should facilitate for democratic and peace-loving states exports of war materials, no matter whether these are re-exported. Towards Russia one should react with the hardest measures....bis to expropriations of state-affiliated oligarchs.
diese Mehrdeutige Frage ist an bsp. des Ukrainegrieges am Besten zu erklären. So soll man für demokratische und friedliebende Staaten Kriegsgüterausfuhren erleichtern, egal ob diese Re-Exportiert werden. Gegenüber Russland soll man mit den härtesten Massnahmen reagieren....bis zu Enteignungen von Staatsnahen Oligarchen.

Highly subsidized agriculture must be more exposed to the market. It is imperative that livestock numbers be reduced because, for example, the supply of pork exceeds demand, which serves no one's interests.
Die hochsubventionierte Landwirtschaft muss mehr dem Markt ausgesetzt sein. So müssen die Tierbestände unbedingt reduziert werden da z.B. das Angebot von Schweinefleisch die Nachfrage übersteigt und somit niemandem gedient ist.

The population should feel safe; especially on a weekend, people around the train stations have a queasy feeling on an evening. This must be countered with increased security personnel. Cyber security, which now poses the greatest threat, also needs to be upgraded.
