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 pension should be increased for all, as this should enable a dignified life in old age. However, in principle, I would be in favor of abolishing the civil status,
Die Rente soll für alle erhöht werden, da diese ein würdevolles Leben im Alter ermöglichen soll. Ich wäre jedoch grundsätzlich dafür, dass der Zivilstand abgeschafft würde,
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?

|---|---|---|---|
Comment
First of all, the financing system should be adapted by optimizing or abolishing the flat rates per case. These set the wrong incentives; what is done is what is profitable and not necessarily what serves people. Furthermore, Switzerland is too small for the cantons to afford a competition for university hospitals.
Als erstes sollte das Finanzierungssystem angepasst werden, indem die Fallkostenpauschalen optimiert oder abgeschafft werden, Diese setzen falsche Anreize, gemacht wird, was rentiert und nicht unbedingt, was dem Menschen dient. Weiter ist die Schweiz zu klein, als dass sich die Kantone ein Wettkampf um Unispitäler leisten können.
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
I support the integrative character, but for this we need sufficient resources. And experience shows that this is not being met. All children suffer from this, as individual support is not possible.
Ich befürworte den integrativen Charakter, doch dafür benötigen wir genügend Ressourcen. Und die Erfahrung zeigt, dass dem nicht entsprochen wird, Darunter leiden alle Kinder, da somit keine individuelle Förderung möglich wird.

Should the conditions for naturalization be relaxed (e.g., shorter residence period)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Participation and co-determination are important for successful integration. Anyone who wants to become a naturalized citizen should be able to do so more quickly.
Teilhabe und Mitbestimmung sind wichtig für eine gelungene Integration. Wer sich einbürgern lassen will, soll das rascher machen können.

|---|---|---|---|
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Why do we need to define gender at all? Where exactly does this definition help me?

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
We have seen where liberalization for large electricity customers has led. As with all other liberalizations (health, public transport, telephony), I have never seen things get cheaper or better.
Wir haben erlebt, wohin die Liberalisierung für Grossstromkunden führte. Wie bei allen anderen Liberalisierungen (Gesundheit, öV, Telefonie) erlebte ich noch nie, dass es günstiger und besser wurde.
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
We will get more housing not by relaxing noise protection, but by fundamentally reducing the number of legal requirements. These, in turn, are enacted by parliaments to protect people and nature. It would be better if we were more flexible in deciding whether office or residential use is permitted.
Mehr Wohnungen erhalten wir nicht durch eine Lockerung des Lärmschutzes, sondern durch grundsätzlich weniger gesetzliche Vorgaben. Die wiederum erlassen die Parlamente, zum Schutz der Menschen und Natur. Es wäre besser, wir würden flexibler handhaben, ob es Büro oder auch Wohnnutzungen sein dürfen.

Das wäre dann ein induziertes Verkehrswachstum.

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
That would be good in an ideal world, and I would welcome it. But experience shows that unfortunately it doesn't work and people need a mix to change behavior. So incentives and prohibitions.
Das wäre in einer idealen Welt gut, und würde ich begrüssen. Aber die Erfahrung zeigt, dass es leider nicht funktioniert und Menschen einen Mix benötigen, um das Verhalten zu ändern. Also Anreize und Verbote.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|

We have enough possibilities to promote renewable energies, it is the implementation that is lacking.
Wir haben genügend Möglichkeiten erneuerbare Energien zu fördern, es mangelt an der Umsetzung.

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

Strahlenarme Technologien wie Glasfasernetze würde ich bevorzugen.
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?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The cantonal spirit leads to additional work and ultimately the municipalities and cantons all have the same services, which should be of interest and digitally accessible. The fact that we do not yet have an e-patient:innendossier shows the need to catch up. Without raw materials, Switzerland is challenged to use other resources, and digitization would be one.
Der Kantönligeist führt zu Mehraufwand und schlussendlich haben die Gemeinden und Kantone alle dieselben Dienstleistungen, die von Interesse sein dürften und digital zugänglich sein sollten. Dass wir heute noch kein E-Patient:innendossier haben, zeigt den Nachholbedarf. Ohne Rohstoffe ist die Schweiz gefordert, andere Ressourcen zu nutzen, und die Digitalisierung wäre eine.

First, we need to find new work models that also require experienced, older people. In addition, we need new solutions for the definition of paid work and care work. One such solution could be an unconditional basic income or credits for those who contribute to society.
Zuerst müssen wir neue Arbeitsmodelle finden, bei denen auch erfahrene, ältere Menschen gefragt sind. Zudem braucht es neue Lösungen für die Definition von bezahlter Arbeit und Carearbeit. Eine solche könnte das bedingungslose Grundeinkommen sein, oder Gutschriften, wer einen Beitrag zur Gesellschaft leistet.
