| 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The pension level is fundamentally too low, since the AHV does not provide a living wage, as is actually stipulated in the constitution.
Die Rentenhöhe ist grundsätzlich zu tief, da die AHV nicht existenzsicherend ist, wie es eigentlich in der Verfassugung vorgegeben ist.
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 pension fund pensions of people who work part-time or earn little are already very low today.
Die Pensionskassenrenten von Menschen, die Teilzeit arbeiten oder wenig verdienen, sind bereits heute sehr tief.

Contribution to healthcare costs

|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Already today, health insurance premiums are almost unaffordable for many people.
Bereits heute sind die Krankenkassenprämien für viele Menschen fast nicht mehr tragbar.
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
In emergencies, the Federal Council needs the possibility to act quickly. However, the involvement of parliament must be improved.
In Notlagen braucht der Bundesrat die Möglichkeit, rasch zu agieren. Der Einbezug des Parlaments ist aber zu verbessern.
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
Coordination between the cantons must be improved, but in my view the competence should remain with the cantons.
Die Koordination zwischen den Kantonen muss verbessert werden, die Kompetenz sollte aus meiner Sicht aber bei den Kantonen bleiben.
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, rather yes, but with the resources available in mainstream schools today, the system does not work satisfactorily.
Grundsätzlich eher Ja, aber mit den Ressourcen, die in der Regelschule heute zur Verfügung stehen, funktioniert das System nicht befriedigend.
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
One problem is the different admission requirements in the cantons.
Ein Problem sind die unterschiedlichen Zulassungsbedingungen in den Kantonen.
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)?

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

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
However, a legal regulation is very demanding. The assessment of the individual case (capacity to judge) is extremely complex.
Eine gesetzliche Regelung ist aber sehr anspruchsvoll. Die Beurteilung des Einzelfalls (Urteilsfähigkeit) ist äusserst komplex.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Equality between same-sex and heterosexual couples

|---|---|---|---|
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 current system is basically appropriate. However, pending tax reforms (OECD tax reform) tend to favor rich cantons and thus tend to increase the differences.
Das heutige System ist grundsätzlich angemessen. Durch anstehende Steuerreformen (OECD-Steuerreform) gibt es aber eine Tendenz, reiche Kantone zu bevorteilen und damit die Unterschiede eher zu vergrössern.
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
In particular, the impact on the climate by the Swiss financial center should be reduced.
Insbesondere der Impact auf das Klima durch den Schweizer Finanzplatz sollte verringert werden.
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
Noise protection regulations or other protective regulations must not be relaxed. In my view, however, higher utilization rates can be permitted where construction is particularly resource-efficient.
Die Vorschriften zum Lärmschutz oder andere Schutzvorschriften dürfen nicht gelockert werden. Höhere Ausnutzungsziffern können aus meiner Sicht aber dort zugelassen werden, wo besonders ressourcenschonend gebaut wird.
Wage equality between women and men

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
2035 is too late, it would need a more ambitious target!
2035 ist zu spät, es bräuchte ein ambitionierteres Ziel!
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
Various measures are needed to achieve the climate targets; clear targets ("bans") such as a ban on new registrations of fossil-fuel vehicles are just as much a part of this as incentives and target agreements.
Zur Erreichung der Klimaziele braucht es verschiedene Massnahmen, klare Zielsetzungen ("Verbote") wie z.B. ein Verbot von Neuzulassungen von fossil betriebenen Fahrzeugen gehören ebenso dazu wie Anreize und Zielvereinbarungen.
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
The potential on built-up areas should be exploited as a matter of priority (solar obligation, large-scale solar plants along highways, etc.). In view of the biodiversity crisis, environmental protection regulations such as residual water volumes must not be relaxed. On the other hand, when it comes to purely aesthetic arguments, compromises are possible for me.
Das Potenzial auf den überbauten Flächen sollte prioritär ausgeschöpft werden (Solarpflicht, Grosssolaranlagen entlang von Autobahnen etc.). Angesichts der Biodiversitätskrise dürfen Umweltschutzvorschriften wie Restwassermengen nicht gelockert werden. Hingegen sind für mich, wenn es um rein ästhetische Argumente geht, Kompromisse möglich.
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
Incentives to save energy make sense.
Anreize zum Sparen von Energie sind sinnvoll.

| 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
A nationwide 5G network is already a reality in Switzerland. What is needed now is investment in the expansion of the fiber-optic network in order to transport data efficiently and with low radiation. In the future, the expansion of the mobile network should not happen as quickly as possible, but in a well thought-out manner: Strategic planning of the network will enable lower radiation exposure in line with the precautionary principle. Fast Internet access should be possible in Switzerland regardless of location.
Ein flächendeckendes 5G-Netz ist in der CH bereits Realität. Jetzt braucht es v.a. Investitionen in den Ausbau des Glasfasernetzes, um Daten effizient und strahlungsarm zu transportieren. Der Ausbau den Mobilfunknetzes sollte in Zukunft nicht möglichst schnell, sondern durchdacht passieren: Eine strategische Planung des Netzes ermöglicht eine tiefere Strahlenbelastung im Sinne des Vorsorgeprinzips. Der schnelle Zugang ins Internet soll in der Schweiz unabhängig vom Standort möglich sein.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Television and radio fees are important for maintaining good information for the population, and good information for the population is relevant for the functioning of democracy.
Die Fernseh- und Radiogebühren sind für den Erhalt der guten Information für die Bevölkerung wichtig, und gute Information der Bevölkerung ist relevant für das Funktionieren der Demokratie.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?

|---|---|---|---|
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
This responsibility over it should rest with the parliament, as it has in the past.
Diese Verantwortung darüber sollte wie bisher beim Parlament liegen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
I believe that Switzerland should support Ukraine with civilian means and invest much more there. Furthermore, the sanctions should be enforced consistently and Russian funds in Switzerland (commodity trading center) should be tracked more consistently. The War Material Act has just recently been revised due to the corrective initiative and prohibits the re-export of Swiss war material to war zones.
Ich bin der Ansicht, dass die Schweiz die Ukraine mit zivilen Mitteln unterstützen sollte, und dort viel mehr investieren sollte. Ausserdem sind die Sanktionen konsequent zu vollziehen und die russischen Gelder in der Schweiz (Rohstoffhandelsplatz) konsequenter zu verfolgen. Das Kriegsmaterialgesetz wurde gerade jüngst aufgrund der Korrekturinitiative revidiert und verbietet die Wiederausfuhr von Schweizer Kriegsmaterial in Kriegsgebiete.

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
I am in favor of strictly maintaining military neutrality. But politically, Switzerland should show its stance and thus actively stand up for international rights and human rights.
Ich bin für die strikte Beibehaltung der militärischen Neutralität. Aber politisch sollte die Schweiz Haltung zeigen und damit aktiv für die Völkerrechte und Menschenrechte einstehen.

Comment
In recent years, various revisions of the law have restricted fundamental rights and expanded the competencies of the security authorities (e.g. in intelligence services, preventive police measures, surveillance competencies), and this is not a good direction.
In den letzten Jahren wurden mit diversen Gesetzesrevisionen die Grundrechte eingeschränkt und die Kompetenzen der Sicherheitsbehörden ausgebaut (z.B. beim Nachrichtendienst, die präventiv-polizeilichen Massnahmen, Überwachungskompetenzen), das geht nicht in eine gute Richtung.

Comment
Already today, older people who are unemployed can no longer find work. In my view, what is needed is more flexibility than a fixed retirement age.
Bereits heute finden ältere Menschen, die arbeitslos sind, keine Arbeit mehr. Aus meiner Sicht braucht es vielmehr eine Flexibilisierung als ein fixes Rentenalter.
