|---|---|---|---|
Health insurance premiums
Should the federal government allocate more funding for health insurance premium subsidies?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Nous devons à tout prix faire baisser les primes. La solution n'est pas l'augmentation des subventions (bien que celles-ci soient nécessaires). Les solutions doivent se faire dans le fond du problème, des primes plus basses avec quelques prestations en moins, sans enlever le nécessaire.
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 |

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
Nous devons soutenir des mesures pour faciliter les constructions et, surtout, les rénovations. Ces mesures doivent permettre de baisser les coûts pour une répercussion finale sur les prix des logements.

Maintenir notre système scolaire à un niveau élevé inclut des révisions de nos exigences.
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
L'égalité des chances est la garantie d'accéder à la formation quelle que soit sa situation financière. Les cours de rattrapage doivent se faire pour tous les élèves en difficulté scolaire.

Should the conditions for naturalization be relaxed (e.g., shorter residence period)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|

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

Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Actuellement, l'assistance au suicide permet de partir dignement. Une révision des règles de l'assistance peut être envisagée, mais pas l'euthanasie active directe.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Chacun est libre d'être et de se sentir d'un autre genre que féminin et masculin. Cependant pour l'administration, il convient de s'en tenir aux termes biologiques pour plus de clarté.

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 |

|---|---|---|---|
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
Cette péréquation fait également partie de notre fédéralisme. Certaines spécificités cantonales ne permettent pas de concurrencer d'autres cantons "mieux lotis". Le Valais n'aura jamais les capacités de Zürich, par exemple, du fait de notre géographie, entre autres. Cependant, cet argent ne doit pas être vu comme un oreiller de paresse et utiliser à bon escient.
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 |

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
Pour l'instant, nous devons inciter et permettre à chacun d'effectuer la transition énergétique. Interdire, c'est également obliger des achats non voulus et non nécessaires pour la population (changement de voiture, de chauffage, etc.)
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 |

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
Si nous voulons garantir des transports publics utiles, à des heures régulières, nous ne pouvons pas le demander à des entreprises privées par manque de rentabilité.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Nature conservation

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Oui pour les plastiques à usage unique. Non pour les plastiques non recyclables pour l'instant. Nous devons y arriver, mais pour l'instant leur nombre et leur utilisation diverse ne permettent pas une interdiction pure et dure.

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]

Should the Swiss mobile network be equipped throughout the country with the latest technology (currently 5G standard)?

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Il faut toutefois se rendre compte du poids suisse dans ces demandes. Nous devons proposer une certaine transparence pour que chacun connaisse les implications de son utilisation d'Internet.

Seek closer relations with the EU
Are you in favor of closer relations with the European Union (EU)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Should Switzerland strive for a comprehensive free trade agreement (including agriculture) with the USA?

Comment
Ce système est déjà en place. La péréquation financière pour les cantons et les communes permet cette redistribution. Pour les individus, le taux d'imposition ou les subsides sont des outils allant dans ce sens.

Cette augmentation devra se faire tôt ou tard au vu de l'évolution de la démographie suisse. Cependant, elle doit se faire de manière graduelle. Une initiative avait été déposée pour corréler le départ à la retraite à l'espérance de vie, c'est une possibilité intéressante.
