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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Die Jungen Grünen lehnen die BVG-Reform entschieden ab: Auch Geringverdienende müssen künftig einen Teil ihres ohnehin viel zu tiefen Lohnes versichern. Parallel dazu hat die Reform durch die Absenkung des Umwandlungssatzes einen Rentenverlust für alle zur Folge. Die vorgesehenen Ausgleichszahlungen gleichen diesen nur minimal aus. Mit einer Verbesserung von Frauenrenten, die nach der AHV21 versprochen wurde, hat diese Vorlage nichts zu tun.
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

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Comment
Weitere Lager wie in Moria, wo zehntausende Menschen zusammengepfercht und den Witterungen ausgeliefert sind, gilt aus auf jeden Fall zu bekämpfen. Die Aussengrenzverfahren werden zur Folge haben, dass zehntausende Menschen über Wochen und Monate festgehalten werden. Auch Kinder, die eigentlich zur Schule gehen sollten, kommen so in Haft. Dass man so nicht mit traumatisierten geflüchteten Menschen umgeht, egal ob Kinder oder nicht, muss selbstverständlich sein.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Die Jungen Grünen fordern die Legalisierung des Anbaus, Handels und Konsums von Cannabis für Volljährige mit Massnahmen zum Schutz von Kindern und Jugendlichen, mit staatlich kontrolliertem Anbau und Vertrieb. Um Suchtverhalten zu verhindern, braucht es mehr Mittel für Prävention und ein Werbeverbot für Cannabis (wie auch für Tabak, Alkohol und Glücksspiele).

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
Wobei CHF 4'000 noch ein eher niedriger Mindestlohn sind. Ausserdem muss sich der Ansatz des Mindestlohns an den kantonalen Lebenskosten orientieren.
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
Die Rettung der Crédit Suisse hat (leider) einmal mehr gezeigt, dass Grossbanken dazu tendieren, ihre Gewinne privat zu halten, Verluste aber von der Allgemeinheit getragen werden müssen. Das muss eingedämmt werden.

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
Das eine schliesst das andere nicht aus - wir brauchen beides und noch viel mehr: Klar definierte Ziele für alle Sektoren und Verbote von Praktiken, die aktiv unsere Lebensgrundlagen zerstören. Aber wir müssen es schaffen, dass Klimaschutz ein Anliegen der breiten Gesellschaft bleibt, so wie es das bei der Abstimmung zum Klimaschutzgesetz war. Wir brauchen genau diese breite Gesellschaft, um demokratisch und partizipativ eine ökologische und soziale Transition zu schaffen.

Comment
Bäuerinnen und Bauern müssten aber für den Mehraufwand angemessen entlohnt werden.
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
Ich bin für eine Schweiz, in der wir auch weiterhin Landwirtschaft zur Ernährung der Bevölkerung betreiben. Landwirtschaft und Biodiversität müssen aber zusammen gedacht werden, zum Beispiel durch agrarökologische und kleinbäuerliche Ansätze.

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
Eine Demokratie braucht ein unabhängiges Angebot an Radio und Fernsehen, das sich fundierte journalistische Arbeit leisten kann. Das stellen die Billag-Gebühren sicher.
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

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Die Jungen Grünen sind überzeugt, dass die Armee in ihrer heutigen Form ausgedient hat. Stattdessen soll die Schweiz weiterhin als neutrales Land in der Friedenspolitik engagiert sein und dieses Engagement ausbauen. Anstelle einer veralteten und ineffizienten Armee braucht die Schweiz einen zivilen Friedens-, Umwelt- oder Sozialdienst, welchen alle in der Schweiz lebenden Personen freiwillig leisten können.

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
Wenn Schweizer Unternehmen im Ausland gegen Sozial- und Umweltstandards verstossen, müssen sie sich dafür vor Schweizer Gerichten verantworten, wie es die Konzernverantwortungsinitiative vorgeschlagen hat.
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 |

Dieser Mythos wird in der Wirtschaftswissenschaft als "trickle down" bezeichnet: Wenn wir nur genug Wirtschaftswachstum generieren und dabei keine sozialen Umverteilungsmassnahmen vornehmen, profitieren langfristig alle. Das klingt nicht nur nach Widerspruch, sondern ist es auch.

Comment
Langfristig müssen wir nicht nur Reichtum umverteilen, sondern einen Systemwandel anstreben: Ein neoliberales, kapitalistisches System, wie wir es heute erleben, ist in sich ungerecht. Es reproduziert Ungleicheiten und verstärkt diese weiter.

Auf einem unbewohnbaren Planeten können wir leider kein Bruttoinlandsprodukt mehr errechnen. Und auf einem Planeten mit begrenzten Ressourcen kann es darüber hinaus sowieso kein unbegrenztes Wirtschaftswachstum geben. Es wird dringend Zeit, dass wir uns darüber Gedanken machen, wie wir unser Wirtschaftssystem nachhaltig umbauen wollen - bevor uns eine Entscheidung aufgezwungen wird.

Comment
Eine Erhöhung und Flexibilisierung des Rentenalters trifft nicht alle gleich. Reiche Menschen können in die Frühpension, während die Allermeisten bis ins hohe Alter schuften müssen. Ausserdem schreibt die AHV seit Jahren schwarze Zahlen. Wir wehren uns gegen diesen wiederholten Versuch der Bürgerlichen, unsere Sozialsysteme zu schwächen. Wir müssen die Renten erhöhen, nicht das Rentenalter.
