| 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
The fairest would be a parental leave that the couple can divide up themselves.
Am fairsten wäre eine Elternzeit, welche das Paar selbst aufteilen kann.

Should the federal government provide more financial support for public housing construction? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|

|---|---|---|---|
Comment
It is important to educate society.
Wichtig ist die Aufklärung der Gesellschaft.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 is the only way to counteract "cantonalism". It cannot be that within a few kilometers several hospitals of different cantons have the same offer.
Nur so kann dem "Kantönligeist" entgegengewirkt werden. Es kann nicht sein, dass innerhalb weniger Kilometer mehrere Spitäler unterschiedlicher Kantone dasselbe Angebot haben.
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
This concept leads to a lower level overall. In the end, no one benefits from it.
Dieses Konzept führt dazu, dass das Niveau insgesamt tiefer ausfällt. Es profitiert letztlich niemand davon.
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
Education must be accessible to all and forms the basis for equal opportunities.
Bildung muss für alle zugänglich sein und bildet die Basis für Chancengleichheit.
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
If there is a shortage of skilled workers, this should still be possible.
Falls ein Fachkräftemangel vorliegt, soll dies weiterhin möglich sein.
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
It makes no sense that asylum seekers must first enter Switzerland in order to be screened here. This can be done sensibly already in a safe country close to the country of origin.
Es ist sinnlos, dass Asylsuchende zuerst in die Schweiz einreisen müssen, um hier überprüft zu werden. Dies kann sinnvollerweise bereits in einem sicheren Land in der Nähe des Herkunftslandes geschehen.
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
No right without obligation: Those who want to have a say should become naturalized citizens.
Kein Recht ohne Pflicht: Wer mitbestimmen will, soll sich einbürgern lassen.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Those who are capable of judgment should be able to decide for themselves about the end of their life under any condition.
Wer urteilsfähig ist, soll über das Ende seines Lebens unter jeder Bedingung selbst entscheiden können.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
However, it would be best if gender no longer played a role at all, if possible.
Am besten wäre es jedoch, wenn Geschlechter möglichst gar keine Rolle mehr spielen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Everyone should be taxed according to their income. Anything else is unfair and outdated.
Jeder soll nach seinem Einkommen besteuert werden. Alles andere ist unfair und veraltet.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Minimum wages fail to achieve their stated goal and lead to less employment.
Mindestlöhne verfehlen ihr erklärtes Ziel und führen zu weniger Beschäftigung.
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
As the demise of CS showed, more regulations and new supervisors have not brought more stability to the financial sector. No bank, no matter what its capital ratio, survives a bank run triggered by a loss of confidence.
Wie der Untergang der CS zeigte, haben mehr Regulierungen und neue Aufsichtsbehörden nicht mehr Stabilität in den Finanzsektor gebracht. Keine Bank, egal mit welcher Eigenkapitalquote, überlebt einen Bankrun, ausgelöst durch einen Vertrauensverlust.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 principle, a relaxation is to be advocated, but the individual case (e.g. noise from a highway) must be taken into account.
Grundsätzlich ist eine Lockerung zu befürworten, jedoch gilt es den Einzelfall (z.B. Lärm einer Autobahn) zu berücksichtigen.
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
This would involve far too much bureaucracy. It goes without saying that equal work should be paid equally.
Dies wäre mit einer viel zu hohen Bürokratie verbunden. Es versteht sich von selbst, dass gleiche Arbeit gleich bezahlt wird.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Incentives need to be created.
Es gilt Anreize zu schaffen.

| 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
Compromises must be made here to overcome conflicting goals. Energy security must be ensured at all times throughout Switzerland and renewable energies must be expanded.
Hier müssen zur Überwindung von Zielkonflikten Kompromisse eingegangen werden. Die Energiesicherheit ist jederzeit in der ganzen Schweiz sicherzustellen und die erneuerbaren Energien müssen ausgebaut werden.
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
There has been great scientific progress in this area. It is pointless to close ourselves off to technology, at least as long as we do not produce enough renewable energy.
Hier gibt es grosse wissenschaftliche Fortschritte. Es ist sinnlos, sich der Technologie zu verschliessen, zumindest solange wir nicht genügend erneuerbare Energie produzieren.
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
This would obviously have a massive negative impact on the attractiveness of the location.
Dies würde offensichtlich die Standortattraktivität massiv negativ beeinträchtigen.
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
Large carnivores that display behavior that is dangerous to humans or that kill too many livestock should be able to be shot according to the current regulations.
Grossraubtiere, die ein für Menschen gefährliches Verhalten an den Tag legen oder zu viele Nutztiere reissen, sollen gemäss den aktuellen Bestimmungen abgeschossen werden können.

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

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

Die Förderung einer Kreislaufwirtschaft ist begrüssenswert.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
No right without a duty. It makes sense for the voting age and the age of consent to be congruent.
Kein Recht ohne Pflicht. Es ist sinnvoll, wenn Stimmrechts- und Mündigkeitsalter deckungsgleich sind.
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)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|

Are you in favor of expanding the army's target number of soldiers to at least 120,000?

|---|---|---|---|
Scumonda da visar automaticamain la fatscha en locals publics
Should automatic facial recognition be banned in public spaces?

Facial recognition for border control and crime prevention must be possible.
Gesichtserkennung zur Grenzkontrolle und Verbrechensbekämpfung muss möglich sein.
Denounce the Schengen Agreement and strengthen border controls

|---|---|---|---|
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
Even a neutral state must show that wars of aggression in particular are to be condemned. Not to take over sanctions and thus to offer loopholes is just not neutral!
Auch ein neutraler Staat muss aufzeigen, dass insbesondere Angriffskriege zu verurteilen sind. Sanktionen nicht zu übernehmen und somit Schlupflöcher zu bieten, ist gerade nicht neutral!
