Welfare state & family
Raise the retirement age to 67
Do you support an increase in the retirement age (e.g., to 67)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Health insurance premiums
Should the federal government allocate more funding for health insurance premium subsidies?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This must involve the deprivatization of health insurance, to prevent taxpayers' money from going into the pockets of private companies in the form of subsidies, so that we can set up a fair system that treats everyone without leaving anyone out in the cold.
Cela doit passer par la déprivatisation de l'assurance maladie, afin d'éviter que l'argent du contribuable passe en subsides dans la poche de sociétés privées, et que l'on puisse mettre en place un système équitable, qui soignerait tout le monde, sans laisser personne sur le carreau
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
Absolutely not. The AVS21 reform was accompanied by a promise to improve pensions for women, and it's not by breaking the social state even further that we'll achieve this promise.
Absolument pas. La réforme AVS21 s'accompagnait d'une promesse d'amélioration des rentes pour les femmes, et ce n'est pas en cassant encore plus l'état social que l'on atteindra cette promesse.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
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
It is unthinkable to let children born in the 21st century run the risk of catching measles or polio. This must also go hand in hand with greater collaboration with countries in the South, so that no child risks dying from diseases that should be eradicated.
Il est impensable de laisser des enfants nés au XXIème siècle courir le risque d'attraper la rougeole ou la poliomyélite. Cela doit également s'accomagner d'une meilleure collaboration avec les pays du sud, afin qu'aucun enfant ne risque de mourir de maladies qui devraient être éteintes.
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
However, this must be accompanied by a subsidy for healthier products.
Celle-ci doit néanmoins s'accompagner d'une subvention pour les produits meilleurs pour la santé.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This response depends above all on the Confederation's willingness to propose a more ambitious healthcare policy, with much more training for healthcare personnel.
Cette réponse dépend surtout d'une volonté de la confédération de proposer une politique de santé plus ambitieuse, avec beaucoup plus d'offres de formation de personnel soignant
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
However, this must be accompanied by an increase in the education budget, so that we can offer quality education to all students, with a larger teaching staff.
Cela doit cependant s'accompagner d'une augmentation du budget de l'éducation, afin de pouvoir proposer un enseignement de qualité à tous les élèves, avec un corps enseignant renforcé en nombre.
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 real priority is to offer equal access to the training that leads to the "maturité gymnasiale". It remains important to maintain the maturité gymnasiale at a sufficiently high level to enable students to gain access to higher education diplomas without facing too great a gap in difficulty between gymnasium and higher education.
La véritable priorité est de proposer une égalité des chances d'accéder à la formation qui permet d'obtenir la maturité gymnasiale. Il reste important de maintenir la maturité gymnasiale à un niveau suffisant pour permettre aux élèves d'accéder à des diplômes de hautes écoles sans faire face à un trop gros écart de difficulté entre le gymnase et les hautes écoles.
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)?
| 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 strong social safety net needs to be put in place alongside this system. In Canada, we have seen people with disabilities resort to euthanasia because they felt inadequate to society, and lacked the resources to cope with adversity. Every effort must be made to avoid such unacceptable situations.
Il faut cependant mettre en place un filet social fort à côté de ce système. On a vu au Canada des personnes en situation de handicap avoir recours à l'euthanasie car se sentant inadaptées à la société, et manquant de ressources pour faire face à l'adversité. Il faut tout mettre en œuvre pour éviter ces situations inacceptables.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Non-binary people deserve real recognition, with the eventual abolition of the notion of gender in official forms.
Les personnes non-binaires méritent une véritable reconnaissance, avec à terme une abolition de la notion de genre dans les formulaires officiels
Equality between same-sex and heterosexual couples
Do you think it's right for same-sex couples to have the same rights as heterosexual couples in all areas?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Nothing differentiates homosexual love from heterosexual love. Every couple deserves the same rights. Facilitating gender reassignment for transgender people is also fundamental.
Rien ne différencie l'amour homosexuel de l'amour hétérosexuel. Tout couple mérite les mêmes droits. Une facilitation du changement de genre pour les personnes transgenres est également fondamentale.
Finances & taxes
Reduce taxes at the federal level
Do you support tax cuts at the federal level over the next four years?

|---|---|---|---|
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
Inheritance only reinforces class reproduction. We need to strengthen equality of opportunity, and tackle the concentration of assets.
L'héritage ne fait que renforcer la reproduction de classe. Il faut renforcer l'égalité des chances, et tacler la concentration de biens.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|

|---|---|---|---|
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
However, this must be accompanied by support for the mobility of the working class and people with reduced mobility.
Cela doit cependant s'accompagner d'un accompagnement pour la mobilité de la classe ouvrière et des personnes à mobilité réduite.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Make the rules for renewable energy less strict

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
The current priority is net zero greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere by 2030. The grey energy required to build a nuclear power plant, and the time needed to build one, mean that this is not a viable option at present.
La priorité actuelle est un zéro net d'émissions de gaz à effet de serre dans l'atmosphère d'ici à 2030. L'énergie grise demandée par la construction d'une centrale nucléaire, ainsi que le temps nécessaire pour en construire une font que ce n'est pas un choix viable à l'heure actuelle.

| 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
The 5g standard is essentially a 4g that consumes more energy. It's useless and anti-ecological.
La norme 5g est essentiellement une 4g qui consomme plus d'énergie. Celle-ci est inutile, et anti-écologique
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?

|---|---|---|---|
Foreign trade & foreign policy
Seek closer relations with the EU

Security measures taken by the state
What is your position the following statement: "Someone who is not guilty, has nothing to fear from state security measures."
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Comment
What the state deems to be a good security measure may turn out to be the registration of left-wing people, as has often happened in Switzerland, or racial profiling. A reorientation towards local social work is essential.
Ce que l'état juge comme étant une bonne mesure de sécurité peut s'avérer être le fichage de personnes de gauche, comme cela est souvent arrivé en Suisse, ou un profilage racial. Une réorientation sur le travail social de proximité est fondamentale.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Comment
As long as it is controlled, and accompanied by a policy of sobriety, digitization can reduce the ecological impact of human activity. However, it is clear that the current capitalist system can divert digitization from this objective.
Tant qu'elle est contrôlée, et s'accompagne d'une politique de sobriété, la numérisation peut réduire l'impact écologique de l'activité humaine. Cependant, il apparaît comme évident que le système capitaliste actuel peut détourner la numérisation de cet objectif.

Raising the retirement age would only tire the working class even more, while the bourgeoisie could continue to retire early, as they already do.
Augmenter l'âge de la retraite ne ferait que fatiguer encore plus la classe ouvrière, tandis que la bourgeoisie pourrait continuer à partir en retraite anticipée, comme elle le fait déjà.
