Welfare state & family

| 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
Health should not depend on our wallets.
Gesundheit soll nicht von unserem Portmonnaie abhängig sein.
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
Many costs are not duplicated when living a joint life. However, this percentage should correspond to the costs that are omitted. It would be thought to extend this to registered partnerships (provided the residence is the same).
Viele Kosten fallen nicht doppelt an, wenn man ein gemeinsames Leben führt. Dieser Prozentsatz soll jedoch den entfallenden Kosten entsprechen. Es wäre zu denken, dies auf eingetragene Partnerschaften auszuweiten (sofern der Wohnsitz derselbe ist).
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
Lower pensions due to inflation mainly affect lower income groups; this must be taken into account in any reform. However, it makes sense in principle to adjust the minimum conversion rate to changing life expectancy.
Tiefere Renten während Inflation trifft hauptsächlich tiefere Einkommensklasse, dies muss bei jeder Reform berücksichtigt werden. Jedoch grundsätzlich sinnvoll den Mindestumwandlungssatz der sich ändernden Lebenserwartung anzupassen.
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
Parents should be able to divide up the remaining weeks themselves after joint parental leave. Motherhood/ fatherhood is work, not vacation.
Eltern sollen nach gemeinsamer Elternzeit die restlichen Wochen selbst einteilen können. Mutter-/ Vaterschaft ist Arbeit, kein Urlaub.
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
To secure housing for all and discourage capital acquisition of real estate.
Um Wohnraum für alle zu sichern und dem Kapitalerwerb von Immobilien entgegenzuwirken.
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
Vaccination protects.
Impfen schützt.
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
Sugar harms our health and our health care system. Tax should be invested for better working conditions, higher wages for nursing staff. Lower health care costs means lower health insurance premiums.
Zucker schadet unserer Gesundheit und unserem Gesundheitswesen. Steuer soll für bessere Arbeitsbedingungen, höherer Lohn von Pflegepersonal inverstiert werden. Weniger Gesundheitskosten heisst tiefere Krankenkassenprämien.
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
Social health care strengthens society.
Soziales Gesundheitswesen stärkt die Gesellschaft.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Education

|---|---|---|---|
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
The shortage of skilled workers is acute. Therefore, apprenticeships must become more attractive and further training opportunities must be promoted. The promotion of interests must not only be available in grammar schools (artistic subjects, selective promotion - free subjects).
Fachkräftemangel ist akut. Deshalb müssen Lehrstellen attraktiver werden und Fortbildungsmöglichkeiten müssen gefördert werden. Intressensförderung darf nicht nur im Gymnasium vorhanden sein (musische Fächer, selektive Förderung - Freifächer).
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Anyone who participates in social life should have the opportunity to become a naturalized citizen without complications. The time limit for citizenship is disproportionate.
Wer sich am gesellschaftlichen Leben beteiligt, soll die Möglichkeit haben, sich unkompliziert einbürgern zu lassen. Die ortschaftsgebundene Frist ist unverhältnismässig.
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
Switzerland must not be too dependent on foreign skilled workers.

Beteiligung fördert Integration. Wer von demokratischen Entscheiden betroffen ist, soll grundsätzlich auch das Recht auf Mitbestimmung haben.

| 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Legal difficulties, including compulsory military service or maternity/paternity leave, still stand in the way. However, a third official gender would advance the social discourse on legal differences.
Juristische Schwierigkeiten u.a. Militärdienstpflicht oder Mutter-/ Vaterzeit stehen noch im Weg. Ein drittes amtliches Geschlcht würde jedoch den gesellschaftlichen Diskurs zu juristischen Differenzen vorantreiben.

|---|---|---|---|
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
It is both, and important. Incentives are not enough to achieve climate goals. Bans can also give the economy certainty and set a direction.
Es ist sowohl, als auch wichtig. Anreize genügen nicht, um die Klimaziele zu erreichen. Verbote können der Wirtschaft auch Sicherheit geben und eine Richtung festlegen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Unless there is more radical investment in renewable energy, nuclear energy will become an inevitable way out. The top priority is CO2 neutrality.
Wenn nicht radikaler in erneuerbare Energie investiert wird, wird Atomenergie ein unvermeidbarer Ausweg. Oberste Priorität ist CO2-Neutralität.
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
We must not only produce green electricity, but also live efficiently and economically. Progressive electricity prices would be an incentive for this (excluding certain sectors such as public transport and system-relevant economic sectors).
Wir müssen nicht nur grünen Strom produzieren, sondern auch effizient und sparsam leben. Progressive Strompreise wären ein Anreiz dafür (gewisse Sektoren wie ÖV und systemrelevante Wirtschaftssektoren ausgeschlossen)

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 |

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?

|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Lack of digitization also means unnecessary bureaucracy and waste of resources.
Fehlende Digitalisierung heisst auch unnötige Bürokratie und Resourcenverschwendung.
