| 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Old-age poverty is already a major problem today; instead of cutting pensions, they should urgently be increased.
Altersarmut ist heute bereits ein grosses Problem, anstelle die Renten zu kürzen sollten sie dringend erhöht werden.
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
Only a parental leave that supports all parents equally allows for equal parental leave and an end to labor market discrimination in case of pregnancy.
Nur eine Elternzeit, welche alle Elternteile gleichermassen unterstützt ermöglicht eine gleichberechtigte Elternzeit und ein Ende der Arbeitsmarktdiskriminierung im Falle einer Schwangerschaft.
Further encourage the construction of social housing
Should the federal government provide more financial support for public housing construction? [BePart question]

Should compulsory vaccination of children be introduced based on the Swiss vaccination plan?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Health care costs have been skyrocketing for years, and it is not the insured who are supposed to counteract this, but the state.
Die Gesundheitskosten schiessen seit Jahren in die Höhe, nicht die Versicherten, sondern der Staat soll dem gegensteuern.
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?

Federal competence for national hospital planning

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
Inclusive schools reduce discrimination, but educational equity can only be maintained if more funds and specialized personnel are provided in the education sector. The current situation is hardly sustainable for teachers (+ people in general in the education sector). More financial means for the optimization of the infrastructure and the practical education of more specialized personnel must be spoken. In addition, there is a need for better protection of staff and psychological support.
Integrative Schulen mindern die Diskriminierung, jedoch kann eine Bildungsgerechtigkeit nur erhalten bleiben, wenn im Bildungssektor mehr Gelder und Fachpersonal gestellt werden. Die heutige Lage ist für Lehrpersonen (+ allgemein Personen im Bildungssektor) kaum tragbar. Es müssen mehr finanzielle Mittel für die Optimierung der Infrastruktur und die praxisnahe Bildung von mehr Fachpersonal gesprochen werden. Zudem braucht es besseren Schutz des Personals und psychische Unterstützung.
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
The current situation leads to massive discrimination and inequality. There are many ways in which people with low financial means or with a migrant background can participate in the education system, but this always involves a lot of stress, additional experiences of discrimination and thus less time for education. Thus, there is an urgent need for more money for remedial education inside and outside of school, both for students and their caregivers.
Die aktuelle Lage führt zu einer massiven Diskriminierung und Ungleichheit. Es gibt eine Vielzahl an Möglichkeiten, wie Personen mit geringen finanziellen Mitteln oder mit Migrationshintergrund am Bildungssystem teilnehmen können, jedoch birgt dies immer viel Stress, zusätzliche Diskriminierungserfahrungen und somit weniger Zeit für Bildung. Somit muss dringend mehr Geld für Förderunterricht innerhalb und ausserhalb der Schule, sowohl für Schüler*innen, als auch ihre Bezugspersonen her.

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
Foreigners living in Switzerland are equally or often more affected by political decisions, so it is only fair that these people should also have the right to vote.
Ausländer*inne, welche in der Schweiz wohnhaft sind, sind gleichermassen oder oft stärker von politischen Entscheidungen betroffen, somit ist es nur fair, wenn diese Personen ebenfalls das Stimm- und Wahlrecht erhalten.
Society & ethics

Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]

Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
It has been proven that more roads do not lead to a reduction in road traffic; instead, there is a need for a comprehensive expansion of public transport.
Mehr Strassen führen erwiesenermassen nicht zu einer Verringerung von Strassenverkehr, anstelledessen braucht es einen flächendeckenden Ausbau des öffentlichen Verkehrs.

Es braucht jetzt bestimmte Verbote, um so einer zukünftigen Generation annähernd Freiheiten zu ermöglichen.

Ban on single-use plastics

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Plastic pollutes our earth and leads to phenomena of huge plastic mountains and pollution of the oceans, so there is an urgent need for a ban on single-use plastic and non-recyclable plastics. The EU shows that such a ban is possible.
Plastik verschmutzt unsere Erde und führt zu Phänomenen riesiger Plastikberge und Verschmutzung der Ozeane, so braucht es dringend ein Verbot von Einwegplastik und nicht- rezyklierbaren Kunststoffen. Die EU zeigt, dass ein solches möglich ist.

A termination of the Schengen Agreement would have fatal consequences for the Swiss population. Already now (after the expiry of the Bilateral Agreements) we are facing major problems such as the future of Swiss students in the Erasmus program.

The best thing for a child is and remains that its caregivers are happy and present. It is up to the caregivers to organize this as long as they have the child's best interests in mind. A person who is 100% present but unhappy and psychologically absent can cause greater developmental problems in a child than a caregiver who is 50% present, happy and available.
Das beste für ein Kind ist und bleibt, dass seine Bezugspersonen glücklich und anwesend sind. In welchem Rahmen die Bezugspersonen dies organisieren ist den Personen überlassen, solange sie das Kindesinteresse im Sinn haben. Eine Person die zwar 100% anwesend, aber unglücklich und psychisch abwesend ist kann bei einem Kind grössere Entwicklungsstörungen auslösen, als eine Betreuungsperson, welche 50% anwesend, glücklich und verfügbar ist.

Comment
A mere increase in the age does not solve the problem of the AHV. What is needed is a general increase in contributions and sustainable plans against old-age poverty, such as an increase in the SNB contribution.
Eine reine Erhöhung des Alters löst das Problem der AHV nicht. Es braucht eine allgemeine Erhöhung der Beiträge und nachhaltige Pläne gegen die Altersarmut, wie zB eine Erhöhung des Beitrages der SNB.
