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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Such leave would enable couples to share the burden of childcare more evenly. Numerous studies have shown that in countries with generous parental and paternity leave, inequalities between men and women are greatly reduced.
Ces congés permettraient une meilleure répartition dans le couple, de la charge d'un enfant. De nombreuses études ont montré que, dans les pays possédant un congé parental généreux ainsi que des congés paternités généreux également, les inégalités entre hommes et femmes se trouvaient grandement réduites.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The right to housing is a fundamental right. The Confederation needs to develop more public housing, more affordable housing, so that access to housing is not an additional difficulty in the lives of the majority of the population.
Le droit à un logement est un droit fondamental. Il est nécessaire que la confédération développe davantage de logements d'utilité publique, de logements abordables, pour que l'accès au logement ne soit pas une difficulté supplémentaire dans la vie de la majeure partie de la population.
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
Large-scale vaccination campaigns in schools from an early age are necessary in the fight against the spread of many viruses and serious diseases. These school vaccinations are useful because they reach the vast majority of young people. On the other hand, I find it difficult that a pupil, for religious, cultural or more personal reasons, cannot refuse a vaccination. Vaccinations should be widely encouraged, but not compulsory.
Les grandes campagnes de vaccination dans le cadre scolaire dès le plus jeune âge sont nécessaires dans la lutte contre la propagation de nombreux virus et maladies graves. Ces vaccinations dans le cadre scolaire sont utiles car permettent de toucher la grande majorité des jeunes. Il me parait en revanche délicat qu'un·e élève, pour des raisons religieuses, culturelles ou plus personnelles, ne puisse pas refuser une vaccination. Celle-ci devrait être largement encouragées sans être obligatoire.
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
The large sugar-sweetened drinks and other unhealthy products industries are responsible for many deaths worldwide every year. It is necessary for these companies to assume their share of responsibility by paying an additional tax on their sweetened products, possibly in the hope that these same companies will reduce the excessive amount of sugar present in their products.
Les grandes industries de boissons sucrées et autres produits mauvais pour la santé sont responsables de nombreux décès dans le monde chaque année. Il est nécessaire que ces entreprises assument leur part de responsabilité en payant une taxe supplémentaire sur leur produit sucré, et ce évenutuellement dans l'espoir que ces mêmes entreprises diminuent la quantité trop grande de sucre présents dans leurs produits.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
People in Switzerland already pay a lot for their health insurance. There are other ways of reducing healthcare costs than making policyholders pay more.
Les personnes en Suisse déboursent déjà énormément pour leurs assurances santé. D'autres leviers sont envisageables dans la diminution des coûts de la santé que faire payer davantage les assurés.
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
Cantonal health disparities exist. It is to be hoped that a national hospital planning system will standardize hospital planning practices across the country.
Il existe des disparités cantonales en matière de santé. On peut espérer qu'une planification hospitalière nationale permettrait d'uniformiser les pratiques de planification des hôpitaux sur tout le territoire.
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
It seems necessary that young people with difficulties or disabilities should be able to study under the same conditions as other pupils. For the other pupils, this brings a higher degree of acceptability and tolerance towards people with "differences", and socializes them to dialogue with them. We can imagine increasing the number of teachers per class, so as to be better able to help those with more difficulties and create an appropriate learning environment.
Il semble nécessaire que les jeunes présentant des difficultés ou handicaps puissent étudier dans les mêmes conditions que les autres élèves. Cela apporte pour les autres élèves, un degré d'acceptabilité et de tolérance supérieur envers les gens présentant une "différence" et les socialise à dialoguer avec elleux. On peut imaginer un renforcement du nombre d'enseignante·s par classe afin de pouvoir davantage aider les personnes ayant plus de difficultés et créer un cadre d'apprentissage adéquat.
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
It would be useful to standardize requirements throughout Switzerland. It would be interesting to raise requirements by targeting more human subjects, for example, rather than purely hard sciences. In this respect, it would be very interesting to offer students courses in sociology, human geography and citizenship, so that they become aware of the social inequalities present in society and develop a critical view of it.
Il semble utile que les exigences soient uniformisées au niveau du territoire Suisse. Il serait intéressant d'augmenter les exigences en ciblant davantage des matières humaines p.ex. que purement des sciences dites dures. Il serait à ce titre tout à fait intéressant d'offrir des cours de sociologie, de géographie humaine et de citoyenneté aux élèves pour que ceux-ci prennent conscience des inégalités sociales présentes dans la société et développent un regard critique sur cette dernière.

|---|---|---|---|
Immigration & integration

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
People seeking asylum in Switzerland should be able to remain in the country while awaiting a decision. Returns to other countries can lead to harsh treatment conditions over which Switzerland has little control.
Les personnes demandant l'asile en Suisse devraient pouvoir rester sur le territoire en attente de leur réponse. Des renvois dans d'autres pays peuvent conduire à des conditions de traitements difficiles sur lesquelles la Suisse ne peut avoir que peu de contrôle.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
They play a full part in the life of their commune and canton, notably by paying taxes. They should have the right to express their opinions through voting.
Elles participent pleinement à la vie de la commune, de leur canton, en payant des impôts notamment. Elles devraient avoir le droit de pouvoir exprimer leur opinion à travers des votations.

|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Married couples currently suffer an "injustice" by paying more tax than unmarried couples. However, it would be essential to compensate for the loss of income linked to the introduction of individual taxation with other, higher taxes for multi-millionaires, for example, so that this tax cut does not lead to a reduction in the supply of public infrastructure.
Les couples mariés subissent une "injustice" actuellement, en payant davantage d'impôts que les couples non-mariés. Il serait cependant indispensable de compenser la perte de revenus lié à l'entrée de l'imposition individuelle par d'autres impôts plus importants pour les personnes multi-millionaires par exemple, pour ne pas que cette baisse d'impôt entraine une baisse de l'offre en matières d'infrastructures publiques.

| 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 fight against global warming should not be at the expense of biodiversity, which is also essential to our survival. The development of renewable energies should be compatible with the protection of nature and biodiversity.
La lutte contre le réchauffement climatique ne devrait pas se faire au détriment de la biodiversité, elle aussi indispensable à notre survie. Le travail de développement des énergies renouvelables devrait pouvoir être compatible avec la protection de la nature et de la biodiversité.

As things stand, the European Union is a very liberal union, mainly favoring economic and trade agreements between countries. Why not join a union, but not in its current form?
l'Union européenne est dans l'état actuel des choses, une union très libérale favorisant principalement des accords économiques et d'échanges entre les pays. Entrer dans une union pourquoi pas mais pas dans la forme actuelle qu'elle entreprend.

Comment
Raising the retirement age penalizes people on low incomes, who often already work in arduous jobs during their lives and are being asked to make an "extra effort", while the more affluent can easily take early retirement well before the age of 65 or 67.
L'augmentation de l'âge de la retraite pénalise les personnes avec des bas revenus, qui exercent le plus souvent déjà des métiers pénibles au cours de leur vie et à qui on demande un "effort supplémentaire" tandis que les personnes les plus aisées pourront elles, prendre facilement des retraites anticipées bien avant 65 ou 67 ans.
