Welfare state & family
Raise the retirement age to 67
Do you support an increase in the retirement age (e.g., to 67)?
| 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
Actually, health insurance contributions should be financed according to income, then premium reductions would no longer be necessary and the whole system would be much more social.
Eigentlich müssten die Krankenkassen-Beiträge Einkommensabhängig finanziert werden, dann wären Prämienverbilligungen nicht mehr notwendig und das ganze System wäre viel sozialer.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
For certain basic vaccinations definitely to be welcomed. There is a reason that certain dangerous diseases are on the rise again.
Für gewisse Grundimpfungen definitiv zu begrüssen. Es hat einen Grund, dass gewisse gefährliche Krankheiten wieder massiv auf dem Vormarsch sind.
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
We involuntarily consume too much sugar because producers think we can't do without it. This is the only way for producers to come to their senses.
Wir konsumieren unfreiwillig zu viel Zucker, weil die Produzenten der Ansicht sind, es gehe nicht ohne. Nur so kommen die Produzenten zur Einsicht.
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
We already have a very unsocially financed health insurance system with high per capita costs.
Wir haben bereits jetzt eine sehr unsozial finanziertes Krankenkassensystem mir hohen pro Kopf Kosten.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
If something absolutely lethal came along, that would be completely foolish.
Wenn was absolut tödliches daherkommt, wäre das vollkommen töricht.
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
In my opinion, clearly a task of the cantons to work together.
Meiner Meinung klar eine Aufgabe der Kantone zusammenzuarbeiten.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 baccalaureate rate in Switzerland is very low in international terms.
Die Maturitätsquote in der Schweiz ist international gesehen sehr tief.
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
Absolutely. Because at the moment, money can buy a good education, and opportunities are unequally distributed.
Unbedingt. Denn derzeit kann man sich mit Geld gute Bildung erkaufen, die Chancen sind ungleich verteilt.
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
Quite clearly, yes. The problem here is federalism. With/because of the increased mobility requirements, the deadlines for naturalizations start to run again and again, starting with changes of municipality, changes of canton are even worse here. There is a need for massive improvements in these injustices.
Ganz klar ja. Das Problem ist hier der Föderalismus. Mit/Wegen den gestiegenen Mobilitätsanforderungen fangen die Fristen für Einbürgerungen immer wieder aufs neue zu laufen, das fängt bei Gemeindewechseln an, Kantonswechsel sind hier noch schlimmer. Es braucht hier massive Verbesserungen bei diesen Ungerechtigkeiten.
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
We have a massive shortage of skilled workers, which will only get worse in the future with the age structure.
Wir haben einen massiven Fachkräftemangel, der sich in Zukunft mit der Alterstruktur noch verschärfen wird.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Those who live here should have a say.
Wer hier lebt, soll mitbestimmen dürfen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?

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

|---|---|---|---|
Finances & taxes

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The already richest cantons benefit the most from the latest decisions on corporate taxation. That is why they should contribute more to the fiscal equalization system, so that the differences in the financial strength of the cantons do not continue to grow.
Die bereits reichsten Kantone profitieren von den jüngsten Entscheiden zur Firmenbesteuerung am meisten. Darum sollen sie mehr in den Finanzausgleich leisten, damit die Unterschiede in der Finanzkraft der Kantone nicht ständig noch weiter anwächst.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
There is also a need for guidelines to ensure that the financial sector invests in climate protection and not further in the fossil fuel industry.
Es braucht zudem Vorgaben, damit der Finanzsektor in den Klimaschutz und nicht weiter in die fossile Industrie investiert.
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
But only if at the same time it is ensured that the minimum payments for renewably produced electricity are set fairly and sufficiently high so that the plants can be built with planning certainty. In the current system, grids are amortized several times (with a sale to other grid operators), the costs are anything but transparent and fair, because there is no competition.
Aber nur wenn gleichzeitig gewährleistet wird, dass die minimalen Vergütungen für erneuerbar produzierten Strom fair und genügend hoch festgelegt werden, so dass die Anlagen planungssicher gebaut werden können. Im jetzigen System werden Netze mehrfach amortisiert (mit einem Verkauf an andere Netzbetreiber), die Kosten sind alles andere als transparent und fair, weil eben kein Wettbewerb herrscht.
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
Densified building is important if we do not want to overbuild more cultivated land. Likewise, monument protection regulations must be reconsidered when it comes to energy-related renovations.
Verdichtetes Bauen ist wichtig, wenn wir nicht mehr Kulturland überbauen wollen. Ebenso müssen Denkmalschutz Bestimmungen überdacht werden, wenn es um energetische Sanierungen geht.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
More highway lanes lead to more traffic.
Mehr Autobahn-Spuren führen zu mehr Verkehr.
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
After all, these are new registrations.
Es handelt sich ja um Neuzulassungen.
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
What is needed is a mix of measures that are effective, socially acceptable and efficient and that also find acceptance. It is not an "either or", but a "both the one and the other".
Es braucht einen Mix von Massnahmen, die wirksam, sozialverträglich und effizient sind und die auch Akzeptanz finden. Es ist kein "Entweder oder", sondern ein "Sowohl das eine als auch das andere".
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
Various regulations are not up to date. For example, well-planned open-air PV systems can make a valuable contribution to sun protection for animals and plants, and generally to biodiversity. It is important that distances are observed.
Diverse Vorschriften sind nicht zeitgemäss. So können zB. gut geplante Freiflächen PV-Anlagen einen wertvollen Beitrag zum Sonnenschutz für Tiere und Pflanzen, generell zu der Biodiversität beitragen. Wichtig ist dort, dass Abstände eingehalten 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
Too expensive, just doesn't make sense.
Zu teuer, macht einfach keinen Sinn.
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 already have this with the basic service tariff for large customers.
Das haben wir mit dem Leistungsgrund-Tarif bei Grosskunden bereits.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Introduction of stricter rules on the protection of farm animals
Are you in favour of stricter animal welfare regulations for livestock (e.g. permanent access to outdoor areas)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
National territory available for biodiversity conservation
Should 30% of Switzerland's land area be dedicated to preserving biodiversity? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
That will come sooner or later anyway. We are drowning in plastic waste.
Das wird früher oder später sowieso kommen. Wir versinken im Plastik-Müll.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Democracy, Media & Digitization
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Otherwise, Switzerland will be left behind in a wide range of technologies.
Sonst wird die Schweiz in verschiedensten Technologien abgehängt werden.
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
Federalism is once again a massive cost driver here, each canton is cooking its own soup and that is expensive.
Der Föderalismus ist hier wieder mal massiv kostentreibend, jeder Kanton kocht sein eigenes Süppchen und das ist teuer.
Strengthening regulation of big internet platforms
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?

It is the future of the young!
Es ist die Zukunft der Jungen!
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Parliament has the final responsibility in the budget process and must also exercise this responsibility. This also applies to supplementary credits that become necessary during the year. The instrument of the debt brake means that the federal government must always keep its spending within tight limits. A referendum would block the performance of tasks for months - also in the area of multi-year financial obligations.
Das Parlament hat die abschliessende Verantwortung im Budgetprozess und muss diese auch wahrnehmen. Das gilt ebenso bei Nachtragskrediten, die unter dem Jahr nötig werden. Das Instrument der Schuldenbremse bewirkt, dass der Bund seine Ausgaben immer im engen Rahmen halten muss. Mit einem Referendum würde die Aufgabenwahrnehmung über Monate blockiert – auch im Bereich mehrjähriger Finanzverpflichtungen.
Security & military
Increasing the size of the army to at least 120,000 soldiers

Comment
As a neutral state, one is unprotected today, as the example of Ukraine has shown.
Als neutraler Staat ist man heute ungeschützt, wie es sich am Beispiel der Ukraine gezeigt hat.
Re-export of Swiss weapons
Should the Federal Council be allowed to authorize other states to re-export Swiss weapons in cases of a war of aggression in violation of international law (e.g., the attack on Ukraine)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In the self-defense of a sovereign state, clearly yes. In civil wars and other conflicts, clearly no.
Zur Selbstverteidigung eines souveränen Staates, ganz klar ja. Bei Bürgerkriegen und anderen Konflikten ganz klar nein.

Terminate bilateral agreements with the EU
Should Switzerland terminate the Bilateral Agreements with the EU and seek a free trade agreement without the free movement of persons?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

This would threaten a Brexit-like situation and impoverish Switzerland.

We afford a very expensive unecological agriculture, which is responsible for the decline of biodiversity and the poisoning of drinking water. This must stop and the money must be distributed differently.

Comment
In my opinion, a higher retirement age should be accompanied by a bonus system. Anyone who voluntarily wants to work longer must also derive an additional benefit from it. A general increase in the retirement age is unfair because it hits the socially weaker. The others can afford to retire earlier.
Meiner Meinung nach müsste ein höheres Rentenalter eher mit einem Bonus-System versehen werden. Wer freiwllig länger arbeiten will, muss davon auch einen zusätzlichen Nutzen haben. Eine generelle Erhöhung des Rentenalters ist ungerecht, weil sie die sozial Schwächeren trifft. Die anderen können es sich leisten, sich früher pensionieren zu lassen.
