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
There is no factual reason for the worse treatment towards concubinates.
Es gibt kein sachlicher Grund für die Schlechterbehandlung gegenüber Konkubinate.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The statutory EMS is much too high. Redistribution from young to old (for once, otherwise actually always vice versa).
Der gesetzliche UMS ist viel zu hoch. Umverteilung von jung nach alt (für einmal, sonst eigentlich immer umgekehrt).
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
Even paternity leave was wrong. We already have expensive labor costs today. We are becoming less and less competitive. Maternity insurance should also be viewed critically. An extension is already ideologically wrong. It is sufficient that families receive child allowances (right means?), because families relieve the state. Others should not have to pay for their own decisions (having children). Individual decision with individual responsibility.
Schon der Vaterschaftsurlaub war falsch. Wir haben heute schon teure Lohnkosten. Wir werden immer weniger kompetitiv. Ebenfalls ist die Mutterschaftsversicherung kritisch zu beurteilen. Eine Ausbau ist schon ideologisch falsch. Es reicht aus, dass Familien Kinderzulagen erhalten (richtiges Mittel?), weil Familien den Staat entlasten. Andere sollen nicht mehr für eigene Entscheide (Kinderkriegen) zahlen müssen. Individueller Entscheid mit individueller Verantwortung.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Distorts the housing market and makes it unnecessarily more expensive. Restricting immigration, flexibility in spatial planning, a sensible interest rate policy (no more cheap money) and buoyant construction activity are more likely to solve this problem.
Verzerrt den Wohnungsmarkt und verteuert ihn unnötig. Drosselung der Zuwanderung, Flexibilität in der Raumplanung, vernünftige Zinspolitik (nie mehr billiges Geld) und brummende Bautätigkeit lösen dieses Problem eher.

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
The history of vaccination is multifaceted. There have been successes as well as failures. Neither glorification nor demonization is appropriate. Compulsory vaccination is wrong from a purely ideological point of view, even if a benefit for the collective could be determined. The individual must never be misused for the collective.
Die Impfgeschichte ist facettenreich. Es gab Erfolge sowie Misserfolge. Weder eine Glorifizierung noch eine Verteufelung ist angebracht. Eine Impflicht ist schon rein ideologisch falsch, selbst wenn ein Nutzen für das Kollektiv feststellbar wäre. Das Individuum darf nie für das Kollektiv zweckentfremdet werden.
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
What else should we regulate? Meat (many would like to), driving, flying, TV consumption, sports hours, cold showers, heating temperature...I reject incentive taxes in principle because they are patronizing. The state does not know better what is good for the individual.
Was sollen wir noch regulieren? Fleisch (würden viele am liebsten), Autofahren, Fliegen, Fernsehkonsum, Sportstunden, Kaltduschen, Heiztemperatur...Lenkungsabgaben lehne ich grundsätzlich ab, weil sie bevormundend sind. Der Staat weiss nicht besser, was gut für das Individuum ist.
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
An increasing share of health care costs is borne by the taxpayer. There are many reasons for this. We should add many more market elements to our compulsory insurance. Otherwise, we will be shipwrecked.
Ein immer grösserer Anteil der Gesundheitskosten wird vom Steuerzahler getragen. Das hat mannigfaltige Gründe. Wir sollten unser Versicherungsobligatorium mit viel mehr Marktelementen versehen. Sonst werden wir Schiffbruch erleiden.
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
The harm of the COVID policy is immeasurable, the benefit without evidence. The WHO pandemic treaty must be stopped immediately. We do not chain ourselves to globalist functionaries.
Der Schaden der COVID-Politik ist unermesslich, der Nutzen ohne Evidenz. Der WHO-Pandemievertrag gehört sofort gestoppt. Wir ketten uns nicht an globalistische Funktionäre.

The Gymnasium is downgraded to the German Abitur. A lot of lost time.
Das Gymnasium ist zum deutschen Abitur heruntergewirtschaftet. Viel verlorene Zeit.
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
Social mobility is very high in Switzerland. If anything, student loans should be introduced so that we can get rid of perpetual students.

Comment
In contrast to the free movement of persons with the EU, I see this as an opportunity.
Im Gegensatz zur Personenfreizügigkeit mit der EU sehe ich dies als Chance.
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
help and selection of asylum seekers into those in need of help and those not in need of help must take place on site. Everything else is antisocial and wrong.
vor Ort muss Hilfe und Selektion der Asylsuchende in Hilfsbedürftige und nicht Hilfsbedürftige stattfinden. Alles andere ist asozial und falsch.
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
We are a constitutional state and not a self-service store. Those who want to have a say should become naturalized citizens and thus show that they want to belong here with all the consequences. By the way, dual and multiple citizenship must be abolished.
Wir sind ein Rechtstaat und kein Selbstbedienungsladen. Wer Mitsprache will, soll sich einbürgern lassen und damit zeigen, dass er hierher gehören will mit allen Folgen. Übrigens ist die Doppel- und Mehrfachbürgerschaft abzuschaffen.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Where do you draw the line? With smoking, with alcohol? With meth? ad absurdum: with sugar? It's supposed to be harmful, too. I draw the line at cannabis, the effect is different from smoking or alcohol. I am yes for a very generous interpretation of personal freedom in the classical liberal sense (Locke, etc.). The freedom to harm oneself is more or less unlimited, but when weighed against the effect on society as a whole, the legalization of cannabis fails.
Wo zieht man die Grenze? Beim Rauchen, beim Alkohol? Beim Meth? ad absurdum: beim Zucker? Soll auch schaden. Ich ziehe sie bei Cannabis, die Wirkung ist anders als beim Rauchen oder Alkohol. Ich bin ja für eine sehr grosszügige Auslegung der persönlichen Freiheit im klassischen liberalen Sinn (Locke usw.). Die Freiheit, sich selbst zu schaden, ist zwar mehr oder weniger grenzenlos, aber in der Abwägung mit dem gesamtgesellschaftlichen Effekt fällt die Legalisierung von Cannabis durch.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Passive euthanasia is also to be criminalized, in the current law the punitive article "selfish motives" is to be interpreted sharply or else. We do not need a business of transportation to the afterlife in Switzerland.
Auch die passive Sterbehilfe ist zu kriminalisieren, im geltenden Recht ist der Strafartikel "selbstsüchtige Beweggründe" ist scharf auszulegen oder ansonsten. Wir brauchen kein Geschäft mit der Beförderung ins Jenseits in der Schweiz.

Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Comment
"trust the science" was the slogan for the untested and still not definitively approved Covid vaccine, whose claimed positive effects have still not been proven, or not to the extent claimed. science says that there are only x and y chromosomes. So. let's return to science. Also to the climate. CO2 is a gas necessary for existence.
"trust the science" hiess es etwa bei der ungetesteten und immer noch nicht definitiv zugelassenen Covid-Impfung, deren behaupteten positiven Wirkungen immer noch nicht oder nicht im behaupteten Ausmass nachgewiesen ist. science besagt, dass es nur x- und y -chromosomen gibt. Also. Kehren wir zur Wissenschaft zurück. Auch beim Klima. CO2 ist ein existenznotwendiges Gas.

Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Individual taxation is a classic own goal. With hyperindividualism (which no longer has much to do with individualism), attempts are made to reflect every life plan in the law, no matter how rare it may be. This only makes everything expensive and achieves nothing. Factor summation within the family is tried and tested. But clearly, the forces behind it want to weaken marriage and family in a neo-Marxist way. For them, marriage belongs in the past. Karl Marx and the Frankfurt School send their regards
Individualbesteuerung ist ein klassisches Eigentor. Mit Hyperindividualismus (was nicht mehr viel mit Individualismus zu tun hat) wird versucht, jeden Lebensentwurf, sei er noch so selten, im Gesetz abzubilden. Das macht alles nur teuer und bringt nichts. Die Faktorensummierung innerhalb der Familie ist bewährt. Aber klar, die Kräfte dahinter wollen in neomarxistischer Weise Ehe und Familie schwächen. Für sie gehört Ehe in die Vergangenheit. Karl Marx und Frankfurter Schule lassen grüssen
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]

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
Whenever something goes wrong, the call for the state comes and then something goes wrong again and it starts all over again. If the banks were not so regulated, only the owners would be interested in how high the bonuses are and how the business runs...there would be many more commercial banks.
Immer wenn etwas schief läuft, kommt der Ruf nach dem Staat und dann läuft wieder etwas schief und es beginnt von vorne. Wären die Banken nicht so reguliert, würde es nur die Eigner interessieren, wie hoch die Boni sind und wie die Geschäfte laufen..es würde viel mehr Kommerzbanken geben.

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
The question is suggestive and therefore incorrect. It assumes that there is a need for action. There is a need for action in quite different places, but not in the climate. Besides, we have all the time in the world to adapt to a change in climate. It is a completely overestimated idea that we can simply push the button and cool down the climate.
Die Frage ist suggestiv und damit falsch. Es wird vorausgesetzt, dass Handlungsbedarf besteht. Handlungsbedarf besteht an ganz anderen Orten, aber nicht beim Klima. Ausserdem haben wir jede Zeit der Welt, uns auf eine Klimaänderung einzustellen. Es ist eine völlig selbstüberschätzende Vorstellung, wir könnten einfach mal auf den Knopf drücken und das Klima abkühlen.
Make the rules for renewable energy less strict

What is needed - as much as I agree with this - is not an expansion, but a consistent enforcement of conscription. That way, we would have a much higher stock.

The question is "framed." The center-left was cheered at the ban, now that it is no longer opportune, re-export is demanded. Yes, re-export is ok, and always and not only in case of wars of aggression against international law. But not in the current context, because we have to observe applicable law.
Die Frage ist "geframt". Mitte-links wurde beim Verbot umjubelt, jetzt, da es nicht mehr opportun ist, wird die Wiederausfuhr gefordert. Ja, Wiederausfuhr ist o.k., und zwar immer und nicht nur bei völkerrechtswidrigen Angriffskriegen. Aber nicht im aktuellen Kontext, weil wir geltendes Recht zu beachten haben.

Comment
We are a service economy. It is not too much to ask to work longer when we are getting older and fitter for longer and longer. Of course, graduated retirement ages by industry are reserved. A worker who has always worked hard should not be affected by this. It remains to mention that partly formerly hard work is becoming less and less hard due to mechanization and automation. Alternatives are abolition of the AHV or increase of the birth rate.
Wir sind eine Dienstleistungswirtschaft. Es ist nicht zu viel verlangt, länger zu arbeiten, wenn wir immer älter und immer länger fit werden. Natürlich sind abgestufte Rentenalter nach Branchen vorbehalten. Ein Arbeiter, der immer hart gearbeitet hat, soll davon nicht erfasst werden. Es bleibt zu erwähnen, dass teilweise vormals harte Arbeit durch Mechanisierung und Automatisierung immer weniger hart wird. Alternativen sind Abschaffung der AHV oder Erhöhung der Geburtenrate.
