| 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
A sugar tax is a good tool to encourage food companies to reduce the sugar content in their products.
Eine Zuckersteuer ist ein gutes Instrument, um Lebensmittel-Unternehmen dazu zu bewegen den Zuckergehalt in ihren Produkten zu reduzieren.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
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
In principle, I support the concept. However, this also requires more teachers to ensure the quality of care. With the current shortage of teachers, the different needs of the students can hardly be met. Therefore, I am of the opinion that the concept of an inclusive school can only be implemented in combination with a training offensive for teachers.
Grundsätzlich befürworte ich das Konzept. Dies benötigt aber auch mehr Lehrpersonen, um die Qualität der Betreuung sicherzustellen. Mit dem aktuellen Lehrkräfte-Mangel können die unterschiedlichen Bedürfnisse der Schüler*innen kaum gedeckt werden. Daher bin ich der Meinung, dass man das Konzept der integrativen Schule nur gekoppelt mit einer Ausbildungsoffensive von Lehrpersonen durchführen kann.
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
In my opinion, equal opportunities must be promoted with more childcare and tutoring services. Increasing the requirements for the gymnasiale Maturität is the wrong way to go.
Meiner Meinung muss die Chancengleichheit mit mehr Betreuungs- und Nachhilfeangeboten gefördert werden. Die Erhöhung der Anforderungen an die gymnasiale Maturität ist der falsche Weg.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Inhumane conditions prevail in these centers, which undermine the right to a fair asylum procedure. It needs fast asylum procedures with psychological support and access to work and education.
In diesen Zentren herrschen menschenunwürdige Zustände, welche das Recht auf ein faires Asylverfahren aushebeln. Es benötigt schnelle Asylverfahren mit psychischer Unterstützung und Zugang zu Arbeit und Bildung.
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
It is a shame that in Switzerland more than a quarter of the people have no democratic say. These people contribute just as much to our social coexistence and also have to pay taxes. Therefore, I think it is the least that foreigners have a say at least on the municipal level.
Es ist eine Schande, dass in der Schweiz über ein Viertel der Menschen kein demokratisches Mitspracherecht besitzen. Diese Menschen tragen genauso viel zu unserem gesellschaftlichen Zusammenleben bei und müssen ebenfalls Steuern zahlen. Daher finde ich es das mindeste, dass Ausländer*innen immerhin auf Gemeindeebene ein Mitspracherecht besitzen.
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"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In my opinion, the official gender entry should no longer exist, as it simply should not matter. However, as long as this remains the case, I support the introduction of a third official gender.
Meiner Meinung nach sollte der amtliche Geschlechtseintrag nicht mehr existieren, da er schlichtweg keine Rolle spielen sollte. Solange dies aber so bleibt, befürworte ich die Einführung eines dritten amtlichen Geschlechts.
Equality between same-sex and heterosexual couples
Do you think it's right for same-sex couples to have the same rights as heterosexual couples in all areas?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Finances & taxes
Reduce taxes at the federal level
Do you support tax cuts at the federal level over the next four years?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In my opinion, the gap between rich and poor could be closed a little by investing the additional revenue in social services.
Meiner Meinung nach könnte man damit die Schere zwischen Arm und Reich ein wenig schliessen in dem man die zusätzlichen Einnahmen in die Sozialwerke investiert.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Economy & labour

|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Make housing construction regulations more flexible
Should housing construction regulations be relaxed (e.g., noise protection, occupancy rates)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
This is counterproductive and only leads to more traffic. What is needed is more investment in the rail infrastructure and a drastic reduction in SBB's ticket and subscription prices so that more people switch to the train. This will also reduce traffic.
Das ist kontraproduktiv und führt nur zu noch mehr Verkehr. Es benötigt mehr Investitionen in die Bahninfrastruktur und eine drastische Reduktion der Ticket- und Abbonementpreise der SBB, damit mehr Menschen auf den Zug umsteigen. Damit kann somit auch der Verkehr reduziert werden.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Incentives and target agreements are certainly important but, fundamentally, prohibitions will be necessary to ensure a level playing field for everyone, regardless of pocketbook.
Anreizen und Zielvereinbarungen sind sicher wichtig aber grundsätzlich werden Verbote nötig sein, damit alle Menschen die gleichen Rahmenbedingungen erhalten, unabhängig vom Portemonnaie.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|

| 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In my opinion, however, farms should be given more financial support to make the switch.
Meiner Meinung nach sollen Landwirtschaftsbetriebe beim Umstieg aber stärker finanziell unterstützt werden.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|

| 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Security & military
Increasing the size of the army to at least 120,000 soldiers
Are you in favor of expanding the army's target number of soldiers to at least 120,000?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Strengthening cooperation between the Swiss army and NATO
Should the Swiss Armed Forces expand their cooperation with NATO?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In the current geopolitical environment, it makes sense to cooperate more with NATO but only for defense purposes.
Im jetzigen geopolitischen Umfeld macht es Sinn stärker mit der NATO zusammenzuarbeiten aber nur zu Verteidigungszwecken.
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 principle, I reject arms deliveries to states that are actively involved in a war (e.g. Saudi Arabia, Turkey, etc.). However, democracies must be able to defend themselves from totalitarian regimes, so it would also be important for Switzerland to allow this re-export. It must be mentioned, however, that freezing the accounts of oligarchs and stopping the Russian trade in raw materials would be much more effective levers.
Grundsätzlich lehne ich Waffenlieferungen in Staaten ab, die aktiv in einen Krieg verwickelt sind (z.B Saudi-Arabien, Türkei, etc.). Jedoch müssen sich Demokratien vor totalitären Regimen verteidigen können, daher wäre es auch wichtig, dass die Schweiz diese Wiederausfuhr ermöglicht. Man muss aber erwähnen, dass das Einfrieren von Oligarchen-Konten und den Stopp vom russischen Rohstoffhandel deutlich wirkungsvollere Hebel wären.

Should automatic facial recognition be banned in public spaces?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Denounce the Schengen Agreement and strengthen border controls
Should Switzerland terminate the Schengen agreement with the EU and reintroduce more security checks directly on the border? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Foreign trade & foreign policy
Seek closer relations with the EU
Are you in favor of closer relations with the European Union (EU)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In principle, I am in favor of closer relations with the EU, but accession would not be the right thing to do at this point in time. The EU needs to become much more democratic to be able to consider this.
Grundsätzlich befürworte ich engere Beziehungen zur EU aber ein Beitritt wäre zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt nicht das richtige. Die EU muss um einiges demokratischer werden, um dies in Betracht ziehen zu können.
Seek a comprehensive free trade agreement with the United States
Should Switzerland strive for a comprehensive free trade agreement (including agriculture) with the USA?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comply with social and environmental standards
Should Swiss companies be obliged to ensure that their subsidiaries and suppliers operating abroad comply with social and environmental standards?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Return to a strict interpretation of neutrality
Should Switzerland return to a strict interpretation of neutrality (renounce economic sanctions to a large extent)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Neutrality in its current form is no longer appropriate. It must not be the case that Switzerland ignores human rights violations by autocracies. Therefore, Switzerland should position itself more strongly and not remain neutral at any price.
Die Neutralität in der heutigen Form ist nicht mehr zeitgemäss. Es darf nicht sein, dass die Schweiz Menschenrechtsverletzungen von Autokratien ignoriert. Daher sollte die Schweiz sich stärker positionieren und nicht zu jedem Preis neutral bleiben.

Comment
The free market economy in its current form causes great damage to the environment and leads to the formation of monopolies. The state must set more guidelines within which the economy can operate. This will lead to fairer competition and a more environmentally compatible economy.
Die freie Marktwirtschaft in der heutigen Form verursacht heute grosse Schäden an der Umwelt und zu Monopolbildungen. Der Staat muss die Leitplanken stärker vorgeben, in welcher sich die Wirtschaft bewegen kann. Dies führt zu einem faireren Wettbewerb und zu einer umweltverträglicheren Wirtschaft.

Comment
The gap between rich and poor in Switzerland is enormous. There is a great inequality of wealth and therefore equality of opportunity is not given. That is why it is necessary for the state to tax large fortunes more heavily in order to strengthen social services and ensure equal opportunities for all.
Die Schere zwischen Arm und Reich ist in der Schweiz enorm. Es besteht eine grosse Vermögensungleichheit und daher ist auch die Chancengleichheit nicht gegeben. Deswegen ist es notwendig, dass der Staat grosse Vermögen stärker besteuert, um Sozialwerke zu stärken und Chancengleichheit für alle zu gewährleisten.

The effects of the climate crisis are becoming increasingly noticeable and are causing enormous suffering and destruction. A national economy can only function in the long term if it is designed to be environmentally compatible and no longer emits greenhouse gases.
Die Auswirkungen der Klimakrise werden immer stärker spürbar und verursachen enormes Leid und Zerstörung. Eine Volkswirtschaft kann langfristig nur funktionieren, wenn sie umweltverträglich gestaltet ist und keine Treibhausgase mehr emittiert.

| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Public transport is far too expensive, not developed enough in rural areas, and there is a lack of capacity on highly frequented connections. Therefore, much more must be invested in public transport and prices must be drastically reduced.
Der Öffentliche Verkehr ist viel zu teuer, in ländlichen Regionen zu wenig stark ausgebaut und es fehlen bei hochfrequentierten Verbindungen Kapazitäten. Daher muss sehr viel mehr in den ÖV investiert und die Preise drastisch gesenkt werden.

Motorized individual transport should decrease in the future due to the stronger expansion of public transport. Therefore, the MIV should not be subsidized even more.
Der motorisierte Individualverkehr sollte in Zukunft durch den stärkeren Ausbau des ÖV's zurückgehen. Daher sollte der MIV nicht noch stärker subventioniert werden.

Comment
In my opinion, compulsory vaccination should be the last option and we should rather focus on education and prevention. However, compulsory vaccination for certain vaccines, such as tetanus or polio vaccination, can help to better protect children from a possible disease.
Eine Pflicht sollte meiner Meinung nach die letzte Option sein und man sollte eher auf Aufklärung und Prävention setzen. Jedoch kann eine Pflicht bei gewissen Impfstoffen, wie zum Beispiel der Tetanus- oder Kinderlähmungs-Impfung, helfen Kinder besser vor einer möglichen Erkrankung zu schützen.
