| 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Absolutely! Parental leave is needed in which both parents are equally involved. Not only for the well-being of the child and equality in education and care work, but also for the equality of young women and men on the labor market. Switzerland lags massively behind in this respect compared to other European countries.
Unbedingt! Es braucht eine Elternzeit, bei der beide Elternteile gleichermassen beteiligt sind. Nicht nur für das Kindeswohl und die Gleichberechtigung in der Erziehungs- und Care-Arbeit, sondern auch für die Gleichstellung junger Frauen und Männer auf dem Arbeitsmarkt. Die Schweiz hinkt hier im europäischen Vergleich massiv hinterher.
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

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Yes to inclusion, as long as the successful learning and support of children with learning difficulties is in the foreground and is acceptable to all. But to achieve this, we also need a massive expansion of remedial and socio-educational resources at schools. Only in this way can true inclusion take place.
Inklusion ja, solange das erfolgreiche Lernen und Fördern der Kinder mit Lernschwierigkeiten im Vordergrund steht und für alle tragbar ist. Dafür brauchen wir aber auch einen massiven Ausbau an heil- und sozialpädagogischen Ressourcen an Schulen. Nur so kann eine wirkliche Inklusion stattfinden.
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 promotion of our dual education system and the strengthening of vocational training is not synonymous with greater hurdles for the Matura. It is much more important to reduce inequality of opportunity on all educational paths.
Die Förderung unseres dualen Bildungssystem und die Stärkung der Berufslehre ist nicht gleichbedeutend mit grösseren Hürden für die Matur. Viel wichtiger ist hier der Abbau von Chancenungleichheit auf allen Ausbildungswegen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
For a living democracy, we need the participation of all people who live, work and participate in Switzerland. The extremely high requirements (also financially) are neither contemporary nor democratic, and show a lack of appreciation for the work and participation of hundreds of thousands of foreigners in Switzerland.
Für eine lebendige Demokratie benötigen wir die Teilhabe aller Menschen, die in der Schweiz leben, arbeiten und mitgestalten. Die extrem hohen Anforderungen (auch finanziell) sind weder zeitgemäss noch demokratisch, und zeugen von fehlender Wertschätzung gegenüber der Arbeit und Mitwirkung hunderttausender Ausländer*innen in der Schweiz.
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
Refugees, many of them minors and/or severely traumatized, have the right to protection and safety, to education and health care. We urgently need to improve the conditions in asylum centers and create safe means of escape instead of making absurd demands for non-European centers.
Geflüchtete Menschen, viele davon minderjährig und/oder schwer traumatisiert, haben das Recht auf Schutz und Sicherheit, auf Bildung und Gesundheitsversorgung. Wir müssen die Bedingungen in Asylzentren dringend verbessern und sichere Fluchtmöglichkeiten schaffen, statt absurde Forderungen nach aussereuropäischen Zentren zu stellen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|

| 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
We are rapidly sliding deeper and deeper into the climate crisis, which presents us with enormous challenges. Adaptation measures and damage management will cost us dearly. Here, tax cuts are absolutely out of place, especially in the upper wealth classes.
Wir rutschen rasend schnell immer tiefer in die Klimakrise hinein, die uns vor enorme Herausforderungen stellt. Anpassungsmassnahmen und Schadensbewältigungen werden uns teuer zu stehen kommen. Hier sind Steuereinsparungen besonders in den oberen Vermögensklassen absolut fehl am Platz.
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
An inheritance tax is a powerful tool for financing future challenges, for example in the reorganization of social welfare systems or in tackling the climate crisis (e.g. via a future initiative).
Eine Erbschaftssteuer ist ein starkes Tool zur Finanzierung zukünftiger Herausforderungen, beispielsweise bei der Sanierung der Sozialwerke oder zur Bewältigung der Klimakrise (z.B. per Zukunftsinitiative).
Strengthen financial equalization between the cantons
Should the differences between cantons with high and low financial capacity be further reduced through fiscal equalization?

|---|---|---|---|
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
Demolishing and constructing buildings consumes huge amounts of gray energy and CO2 emissions - the construction sector accounts for about a quarter of Switzerland's carbon emissions. Instead of continuing to build up green spaces, we need to maintain and reuse existing buildings and use our living space sparingly. The sustainable and efficient use of urban space and nature is essential for our future.
Das Abreissen und Bauen von Gebäuden beansprucht riesige Mengen an grauer Energie und CO2-Emissionen – der Bausektor verursacht ca. ein Viertel des Schweizer Kohlenstoff-Ausstosses. Statt weiter Grünflächen zuzubauen, müssen wir Bestand pflegen, umnutzen und sparsam mit unserem Wohnraum umgehen. Der nachhaltige und effiziente Umgang mit Stadtraum und Natur ist für unsere Zukunft unabdingbar.
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
Freeway expansions never bring relief, but always lead to increased traffic. Research has shown this for decades. We must invest the money for highway expansions in sustainable and public transport infrastructure.
Autobahnausbauten bringen nie Entlastung, sondern führen immer zu Mehrverkehr. Das zeigt die Forschung seit Jahrzehnten. Die Gelder für Autobahnausbauten müssen wir in nachhaltige und öffentliche Verkehrsinfrastruktur inverstieren.
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
The climate crisis is built on an economic system based on consumption and endless growth. If we want to find a way out of the crisis, we need to transform our economic system so that it is in harmony with the resource cycles of our planet: This will not work with individual choices and incentives alone. But one thing is clear: bans should be democratically supported and only used in a very targeted manner.
Die Klimakrise baut auf einem Wirtschaftssystem, welches auf Konsum und endlosem Wachstum beruht. Wenn wir einen Weg aus der Krise finden wollen, müssen wir unser Wirtschaftssystem so umbauen, dass es im Einklang mit den Ressourcenkreisläufen unseres Planeten steht: Das wird mit Individualentscheidungen und Anreizen allein nicht funktionieren. Klar ist aber: Verbote sollen demokratisch abgestützt und nur sehr gezielt eingesetzt werden.
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
Before a PV system is installed on every suitable roof, no nature conservation areas should be built over with electricity production plants. We have enough suitable areas in Switzerland.
Bevor nicht auf jedem geeigneten Dach eine PV-Anlage montiert ist, sollen keine Naturschutzgebiete mit Stromproduktionsanlagen zugebaut werden. Wir haben genügend geeignete Flächen in der Schweiz.
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
I am in favor of an immediate nuclear phase-out.
Ich bin für den sofortigen Atomausstieg.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
For the transport turnaround, we need an adequate public transport network, especially in rural areas must therefore be expanded.
Für die Verkehrswende brauchen wir ein ausreichendes ÖV-Netz, besonders in ländlichen Gebieten muss daher ausgebaut werden.

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Direct payments for farms

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
National territory available for biodiversity conservation

| 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
It is clear that, especially in the healthcare sector, certain single-use plastics cannot be dispensed with and exceptions must be possible here.
Es ist klar, dass besonders im Gesundheitswesen auf gewisse Einwegplastik nicht verzichtet werden kann und hier Ausnahmen möglich sein müssen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
These measures are central on the way to a sustainable circular economy.
Diese Massnahmen sind auf dem Weg zu einer nachhaltigen Kreislaufwirtschaft zentral.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Access to quality journalism is the foundation of our democracy. Especially for small radio stations and the media of language minorities, television and radio fees are essential for survival.
Der Zugang zu Qualitätsjournalismus ist die Grundlage unserer Demokratie. Besonders für Kleinradios und die Medien von Sprachminderheiten sind die Fernseh- und Radiogebühren überlebenswichtig.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?

| 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
Swiss neutrality includes the use of humanitarian aid - here Switzerland, as a rich country, must clearly show more responsibility and solidarity and provide appropriate assistance.
Zur Schweizer Neutralität gehört der Einsatz von Humanitärer Hilfe – hier muss die Schweiz als reiches Land deutlich mehr Verantwortung und Solidarität zeigen und entsprechende Hilfe leisten.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Switzerland bears responsibility as the location of numerous international corporations. Such companies should be able to be sued in Swiss courts if they violate environmental standards or human rights abroad.
Die Schweiz trägt als Standort zahlreicher internationaler Konzerne Verantwortung. Solche sollen an Schweizer Gerichten verklagt werden können, wenn sie im Ausland Umweltstandards oder Menschenrechte verletzen.

Comment
People who do physical work or care work are already exhausted and in poor health by the time they reach retirement age 64 or 65. In these sectors, a general pension increase is not debatable for me. Those who want to and are able to work longer should be able to do so, but should never have to do so out of financial necessity.
Wer körperlich arbeitet oder Care-Arbeit leistet, ist bereits heute mit Rentenalter 64 resp. 65 erschöpft und gesundheitlich angeschlagen. In diesen Branchen ist eine allgemeine Rentenerhöhung für mich nicht diskutabel. Wer länger arbeiten will und vermag, soll das tun können, aber nie aus finanzieller Not heraus müssen.
