No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Health insurance premiums

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Reduce LPP pensions

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

Pension fund pensions are already too low today, and I reject any further cuts.

Die Pensionskassenrenten sind heute schon zu tief, eine weiter Kürzung lehne ich ab.

Extend parental leave

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

absolutely. Switzerland lags behind many countries in terms of compatibility, and parental leave is an important measure to improve compatibility.

unbedingt. Die Schweiz hinkt in der Vereinbarkeit vielen Ländern hinterher und eine Elternzeit ist eine wichtige Massnahme, um die Vereinbarkeit zu verbessern.

Further encourage the construction of social housing

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Health

Introduce compulsory vaccination for children

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

Vaccinations are important and central achievements in eradicating and containing diseases worldwide. But we need to convince people of their importance in a different way than by making it compulsory.

Impfungen sind wichtige und zentrale Errungenschaften, um Krankheiten weltweit auszurotten und einzudämmen. Wir müssen die Menschen aber anders von ihrer Bedeutung überzeugen, als mit einer Pflicht.

Introduce a tax on sugary foods

Contribution to healthcare costs

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Limit the powers of the Federal Council in the event of a pandemic

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

In another exceptional situation such as a pandemic, there needs to be good cooperation between parliament and the executive. The economy must not be placed persequently above health.

Es braucht in einer weiteren Ausnahmesituation wie einer Pandemie eine gute Zusammenarbeit zwischen Parlament und Exekutive. Die Wirtschaft darf nicht perse über die Gesundheit gestellt werden.

Federal competence for national hospital planning

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Education

Inclusive schooling

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

However, inclusive schools can only succeed if sufficient resources are available for implementation.

Gelingen kann die integrative Schule aber nur, wenn genügend Ressourcen zur Umsetzung zur Verfügung stehen.

Society & ethics

Legalize cannabis use

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

However, the negative consequences of increased cannabis use must continue to be communicated.

Die negativen Konsequenzen von erhöhtem Cannabiskonsum müssen aber weiterhin auch kommuniziert werden.

Authorize active euthanasia

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

Yes. But it would be perfect if no "third gender" is created, but simply a recognized possibility exists to classify oneself outside the binary system.

Ja. Perfekt wäre es aber, wenn kein "drittes Geschlecht" geschaffen wird, sondern einfach eine anerkannte Möglichkeit besteht sich ausserhalb des binären Systems einzuordnen.

Equality between same-sex and heterosexual couples

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Finances & taxes

Reduce taxes at the federal level

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Tax married couples individually

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Introduce a national inheritance tax

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Strengthen financial equalization between the cantons

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

Difficult question for a "rich canton". Basel already pays a lot into the national financial equalization system. But it is important to strive for a solidary distribution. But it is more important to me what the money is used for. If we use it cantonally for climate protection, I find it difficult to pay it into the financial equalization scheme and finance tax cuts or military spending, for example.

Schwierige Frage für einen "reichen Kanton". Basel zahlt heute schon viel in den nationalen Finanzausgleich. Es ist aber wichtig, eine solidarische Verteilung anzustreben. Wichtiger aber ist es mir, wofür das Geld eingesetzt wird. Wenn wir es kantonal für Klimaschutz einsetzen, fällt es mir schwer, es in den Finanzausgleich zu zahlen und z.B. Steuersenkungen oder Militärausgaben zu finanzieren.

Economy & labour

Introduce a national minimum wage of CHF 4,000

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Regulate the financial sector more strictly

Comment

Especially in the area of climate-damaging investments.

Make housing construction regulations more flexible

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Wage equality between women and men

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Energy & transport

Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Ban new registrations of combustion engine vehicles from 2035

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

we need to move away from internal combustion engines and, together with the EU, this changeover will also succeed well. But it will only be of any use if we move forward quickly now. That's why a ban makes sense in this respect.

wir müssen weg von den Verbrennenmotoren und gemeinsam mit der EU wird dieser Umstieg auch gut gelingen. Es nutzt aber nur etwas, wenn es jetzt schnell voran geht. In diesem Punkt macht ein Verbot darum Sinn.

Achieve climate targets through incentives

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

It needs both. Unfortunately, the time pressure is now so high that the incentives do not always take effect quickly enough. That's why we need incentives and targets, as well as regulations and restrictions. But always in such a way that we can take the population with us, for example with residual value compensation.

Es braucht beides. Leider ist der Zeitdruck mittlerweile so hoch, dass die Anreize nicht immer schnell genug greifen. Darum sowohl Anreize und Ziele, wie auch Regulierungen und Einschränkungen. Aber immer so, dass wir die Bevölkerung mitnehmen können, bspw. mit Restwertentschädigungen.

Make the rules for renewable energy less strict

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

The biodiversity crisis is a big problem, especially for the future. We have to weigh things up carefully; here, too, there is no black-and-white solution. Environmental and landscape protection remain central, but there are solutions, e.g. simplification of procedures or the comprehensive expansion of renewables in residential areas.

Die Biodiversitätskrise ist ein grosses Problem, gerade für die Zukunft. Wir müssen gut abwägen, auch hier gibt es keine Schwarz/Weiss-Lösung. Umwelt- und Landschaftsschutz bleiben zentral, Es gibt aber Lösungen z.B. Verfahrensvereinfachungen oder den flächendeckenden Ausbau der Erneuerbaren in den Siedlungsbereichen.

Security & military

Increasing the size of the army to at least 120,000 soldiers

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Strengthening cooperation between the Swiss army and NATO

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

i think it is important that we as Switzerland join a defense system for several nations. But looking at the history of NATO (e.g. the operations during the Yugoslavian war) also brings criticism of the association. The No would probably be better as a rather No. So one must find supranational solutions, but also criticize NATO itself and perhaps be able to think further, and the question is whether this is possible in this construct.

ich finde es wichtig, dass wir uns als Schweiz einem Verteididungssystem für mehrere Nationen anschliessen. Aber der Blick auf die Geschichte der NATO (z.B. die Einsätze während dem Jugoslawienkrieg) bringt auch Kritik an der Vereinigung mit sich. Das Nein wäre wohl besser ein Eher Nein. Also man muss übernationale Lösungen finden, aber die NATO an sich auch kritisieren und vlt. weiterdenken können und es fragt sich ob das in diesem Konstrukt möglich ist.

Re-export of Swiss weapons

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

In principle, I am in favor of not producing weapons. But as long as we export weapons, and these are used again and again in armed conflicts via unresolved channels, Ukraine should also have the right to defend itself.

Ich bin grundsätzlich dafür, dass wir keine Waffen produzieren. Solange wir aber Waffen exportieren, und diese auf ungeklärten Wegen immer wieder in bewaffneten Konflikten zum Einsatz kommen, soll auch die Ukraine das Recht haben sich zu verteidigen.
