| 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
Yes. At the same time, we obviously need to look for ways to contain healthcare costs. Not by reducing the services we pay for, but by increasing investment in prevention, reviewing our drug production and supply policy, etc.
Oui. En parallèle il faut évidemment chercher des moyens de contenir les coûts de la santé. Pas en réduisant les prestations prises en charge, mais par exemple en augmentant les investissements dans la prévention, en revoyant la politique de production et d'approvisionnement en médicaments,...
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
Pensions must be increased for everyone and adjusted to inflation. Social benefits must be independent of marital status.
Tout le monde doit pouvoir bénéficier d’une augmentation des rentes et elles doivent être adaptées au renchérissement. Les prestations sociales doivent être indépendantes du statut marital.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
We need to support families and give fathers the opportunity to live out this role, and mothers the chance to go beyond it and return to work with peace of mind. It's important for equality and for parenthood. And incidentally... a necessity, given the difficulties of finding childcare solutions, especially for very young children!
Il faut soutenir les familles et donner l'occasion aux pères de vivre ce rôle et aux mères, d'être plus que ce rôle et de pouvoir revenir au travail sereinement. C'est important pour l'égalité, pour bien vivre la parentalité. Et accessoirement... une nécessité au vue des difficultés à trouver des solutions de garde pour les enfants, surtout très jeunes !
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 |
|---|---|---|---|

| 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
This will have a further negative impact on the middle and low-income groups. Yet they are already generally in poorer health because they have less access to care (giving up dental care, etc.).
Cela péjorera encore les moyens et surtout les bas revenus. Or ils sont déjà généralement en plus mauvaise santé car moins d'accès aux soins (renonciation aux soins dentaires,...)
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 |
|---|---|---|---|

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Education

|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This enables specialists to work in Switzerland. But Switzerland also needs to train enough qualified personnel of its own.
Cela permet à des spécialistes de travailler en Suisse. Mais la Suisse doit également former elle-même suffisamment de personnel qualifié.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The federal tax is one of the most solidarity-based taxes. Wealthy individuals and companies are subject to it, thanks to a progressive rate. Reducing this tax would weaken the redistribution of wealth and public services. At municipal and cantonal level, on the other hand, higher taxes on capital would relieve the burden on the working population.
L'impôt fédéral est un des impôts les plus solidaires. Les personnes fortunées et les entreprises y sont soumises, grâce à un tarif progressif. Réduire cet impôt affaiblirait la redistribution des richesses et les services publics. Au niveau communal et cantonal en revanche, un renforcement de l'imposition du capital permettrait de soulager la population et les personnes qui travaillent.
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
I'd be in favor of a higher amount above which inheritances should be taxed at national level.
Je serai pour un montant plus élevé à partir duquel les héritages doivent être taxés au niveau national.
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
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Is it worth paying less than that for a full-time job? What kind of life does it allow?
Est-ce digne de rémunérer moins que cela, pour un plein temps ? Quelle vie cela permet-il ?
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I am opposed to measures that would diminish the quality of life of residents or the quality of their homes. The profit motive must not take precedence over the human element.
Je m'oppose aux mesures qui diminueraient la qualité de vie des habitants ou la qualité de leurs logements. L'objectif de rendement ne doit pas prendre plus d'importance que l'humain.
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
It's pointless. The more roads we create, the more tracks we add, the more vehicles there are. There are many studies on the subject. We need to offer people quality alternatives (frequency, service, safety) so that they can choose their means of travel.
C'est inutile. Plus on crée de routes, plus on ajoute de pistes, plus il y a de véhicules. Il y a de nombreuses études sur le sujet. On doit proposer aux gens des alternatives de qualité (fréquence, desserte, sécurité) aux gens pour qu'ils aient le choix de leur moyen de déplacement.
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
Eventually, of course, ideally. But 2035 is tomorrow. Will we be ready for that? In terms of the development of public transport, soft mobility routes and incentives for the population. Electric vehicles still raise a number of questions: sufficient supply, battery manufacture and disposal, etc. Before banning them, we need to make sure they can work, and propose alternatives that "hold up".
A terme bien sûr, idéalement. Mais 2035 c'est demain. Est-ce que l'on sera prêts pour cela ? En termes de développement des transports publics, voies de mobilité douce, encouragements à la population. Les véhicules électriques posent encore un certain nombre de questions : approvisionnement suffisant, fabrication et élimination des batteries,... Avant d'interdire il faut s'assurer que ça puisse fonctionner et proposer des alternatives qui "tiennent la route".
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 are great, and in an ideal world we'd be happy with them. But we're not in an ideal world. As long as certain companies/people make money out of polluting, they'll have a good laugh at our incentives.
Les incitations c'est super et dans un monde idéal on devrait pouvoir s'en contenter. Mais nous ne sommes pas dans un monde idéal. Tant que polluer rapporte de l'argent à certaines entreprises/personnes, ils rigoleront doucement de nos incitations.
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 |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
At first glance, this sounds like a good solution. But it would have major consequences for people who have no other choice. Tenants who have to use electric heating (who are often people on low incomes) would be penalized by these rates, for example!
Cela semble une bonne solution au premier abord. Mais elle aurait des conséquences importantes pour des gens qui n'ont pas le choix de faire autrement. Les locataires devant utiliser un chauffage électrique (qui sont souvent des personnes touchant de faibles revenus) seraient pénalisé-es par ces tarifs par exemple !
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
But only on the non-negotiable condition of actively and financially supporting farmers' transitions! And not to lose common sense by falling into theoretical extremes, which would not be applicable everywhere and by everyone.
Mais à la condition non négociable d'accompagner activement et financièrement les transitions des agriculteurs ! Et de ne pas perdre le bon sens en tombant dans des extrêmes théoriques, qui ne seraient pas applicables partout et par tout le monde.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Swiss rules are very demanding. In my opinion, we should ask ourselves what requirements should apply to imported products before tightening up those in Switzerland!
Les règles suisses sont très exigeantes. Nous devons nous questionner sur les exigences à appliquer aux produits importés selon moi avant de durcir celles en Suisse !
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Protecting biodiversity is a crucial issue. But we must not lose sight of the objective of feeding our population and the essential role of our agriculture.
La protection de la biodiversité est un sujet crucial. Mais nous ne devons pas quitter des yeux l'objectif de nourrir notre population et le rôle essentiel de notre agriculture.

Introducing an optional financial referendum against federal spending

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Comment
In my opinion, international trade must meet strict criteria in terms of respect for the environment and human rights. If international agreements respect these criteria, we can support them. If they don't, we can't.
Le commerce international doit selon moi respecter des critères stricts en matière de respect de l’environnement et de droits humains. Si les accords internationaux respectent ces critères, nous pouvons les soutenir. Dans le cas contraire, non.

Numerous studies show the positive effects of reintegration measures. Punishment exacerbates feelings of anger and revolt. By reintegrating offenders, we give them the opportunity to get a 2nd chance and to reintegrate in the right way. This limits recidivism and costs society less.

Life expectancy is increasing, but we are still more than just production machines. The well-off will always retire earlier than the set age, and these increases penalize those who have earned low wages all their lives.
L'espérance de vie se prolonge, il n'en reste pas moins que nous sommes bien plus que des machines à production. Les aisés partiront toujours plus tôt que l'âge fixé, ces augmentations pénalisent celles et ceux qui ont touché de bas salaires toute leur vie.
