Nowadays, thanks to a great deal of research on this subject and the evolution of society, it's more than ever necessary to give parents more time after the birth of their child, in order to acclimatize to the change in life and to be able to spend more time with the child, which is necessary for his or her growth and development.
De nos jours et grâce aux nombreuses recherches sur ce sujet et à l'évolution de la société, il est plus que nécessaire d'accorder plus de temps aux parents après la naissance de leur enfant, afin de s'acclimater au changement de vie et de pouvoir passer plus de temps avec l'enfant, ce qui est nécessaire pour sa croissance et son développement.

Not being from the antivax camp, I have to acknowledge the necessity of vaccines, which simply prevent us from new pandemics or diseases that are not important when we are children but very dangerous when we grow up without being vaccinated.

Legalize cannabis use

It's a soft drug, like cigarettes and wine, which are legalized. As far as I'm concerned, this drug should also be legalized in this case, but it's still a drug, so its legalization will have to be well surrounded by rules and preventive measures.

Increasing to 67 would be seen as necessary in certain cases, where we need more AVS funds and to postpone retirement for certain people. At the moment I don't see the point, nor the need, but it remains to be seen how the Swiss economic situation will develop in the future.
Augmenter a 67 ans serait vu comme nécessaire dans un certain cas, où l'on a besoin de plus de fond AVS et de repousser la retraite de certain-e-x. Actuellement je ne vois pas l'intérêt, ni la nécessite, mais à voir comment la situation économique suisse va se développer dans le futur
