Notamment via la création d'un modèle à bas coûts qui exclurait certaines prestations et augmenterait la franchise.
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 current situation of the first pillar makes this impossible. Let's start by securing its long-term financing.
La situation actuelle du premier pilier ne le permet aucunement. Assurons d'abord son financement à long terme.
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
This rate needs to be adapted to demographic trends.
Il faut adapter ce taux à l'évolution démographique.
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
However, it would be wise to allow more flexibility in dividing these 16 weeks between the two parents.
Il serait cependant judicieux de permettre plus de flexibilité pour répartir ces 16 semaines entre les deux parents.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|

This is not a federal responsibility.
Ce n’est pas une compétence fédérale.

|---|---|---|---|
Introduce a tax on sugary foods

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In particular, the maximum deductible should be raised. However, it should be possible for people who so wish to contribute more to these costs, in exchange for a reduction in their premiums.
C'est surtout la franchise maximale qu'il faut relever. Cependant, il devrait être possible pour les personnes qui le souhaitent de participer davantage à ces coûts, contre une réduction de leurs primes.

|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This must remain a cantonal responsibility.
Ceci doit rester une compétence cantonale.
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
With overcrowded classes, it's not always possible to do this, but this solution should be favored whenever possible.
Avec des classes surchargées il n'est pas toujours possible de le faire, mais cette solution devrait être privilégiée tant que faire se peut.
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
A general drop in standards means less recognition of the diploma awarded and less knowledge acquired. Today, apprenticeships are all too often abandoned in favor of the maturité gymnasiale.
Une baisse générale du niveau implique une moins grande reconnaissance du diplôme délivré et moins de connaissances acquises. De nos jour, l'apprentissage est trop souvent délaissé en faveur de la maturité gymnasiale.
Equal opportunities in education

Il manque du personnel qualifié dans certains secteurs en Suisse et il devrait donc être possible de se tourner vers l'étranger, de manière limitée.
Asylum procedures outside Europe
Do you support efforts to house asylum seekers in centers outside Europe during the asylum procedure?

Une initiative PLR été déposée en ce sens en 2022, c’est une cheval de bataille de longue date du parti.
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

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
We need to avoid new crises like the Credit Suisse one, even though the sector is already highly regulated. The behemoth that UBS has become could jeopardize our entire country, so it must be prevented at all costs.
Il faut éviter de nouvelles crises comme celle du Credit Suisse, même si secteur est déjà très régulé. Le mastodonte qu'est devenu UBS pourrait mettre en péril notre pays tout entier et il faut donc à tout prix l'en empêcher.
Liberalizzare completamente il mercato dell'elettricità
Should private households be free to choose their electricity supplier (complete liberalization of the electricity market)?

|---|---|---|---|
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 all depends on what is meant by "complete". The means must not be excessive, but basic services must be provided. It makes no sense to run a large bus through a valley empty, just to collect subsidies.
Tout dépend de ce que veut dire « complète ». Les moyens ne doivent pas être démesurés mais les services de base doivent être assurés. Faire rouler un grand autocar à vide dans une vallée juste pour toucher des subventions n'a pas de sens.

Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

It's in our interest to have a competitive and productive agricultural sector, otherwise we'll have to source more from abroad. So let's not penalize our local agriculture any further.
Nous avons intérêts à avoir une agriculture compétitive et productive, sans quoi nous devrions nous fournir davantage à l’étranger. Ne pénalisons donc pas plus notre agriculture locale.
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
Standards are already high, but it's clear that the dignity of every living being must be protected.
Les normes sont déjà élevées, mais il est clair qu’il faut protéger la dignité de tout être vivant.
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 |

Malheureusement sans normes nationales certaines avancées sont impossibles, comme l’e-ID étatique.
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
The aging population will soon leave the AHV system billions short. It's better to raise the retirement age than to cut AHV pensions.
Vu le vieillissement de la population il va prochainement manquer des milliards pour l'AVS. Mieux vaut augmenter l’âge de la retraite que couper dans les rentes AVS.
