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
We need a single fund that is progressively calculated on taxable income.
Wir brauchen eine Einheitskasse, welche progressiv auf das steuerbare Einkommen berechnet wird.
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
The Young Greens firmly reject the BVG reform: In the future, even low earners will have to insure part of their already far too low salary. At the same time, the reform results in a pension loss for everyone due to the lowering of the conversion rate. The planned compensation payments compensate for this only minimally.
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.
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
Parental leave, as it was in the canton of ZH in May 2022, would be the goal. Certain parties have argued that this should not be clarified at the cantonal level, but at the federal level. As go subito implement!
Eine Elternzeit, wie sie im Kanton ZH im Mai 2022 vorgelegen ist, wäre das Ziel. Gewisse Parteien haben argumentiert, man sollte dies nicht auf kantonaler, sondern Bundesebene klären. Als los subito umsetzen!
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
A sugar tax would be the liberal option. I am in favor of tightening the limits for soft drinks, sweets, breakfast cereals, etc.
Eine Zuckersteuer wäre die liberale Variante. Ich bin für eine Verschärfung der Grenzwerte bei Softdrinks, Süssigkeiten, Frühstücksflocken usw.
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
The ever-increasing health insurance premiums prove that our current system has failed. We need a single health insurance fund and new models that regulate the maximum costs.
Die immer steigenden Krankenkassenprämien beweisen, dass unser bisheriges System versagt hat. Wir brauchen eine Einheitskasse und neue Modelle, welche regulieren wie hoch die Kosten maximal ausfallen dürfen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In any case, the Federal Council should make use of its right in an emergency situation and take leadership and responsibility. However, certain measures were simply senseless from the announcement to the investigation. We have all learned and hope not to have to use the knowledge again.
Auf jeden Fall soll der Bundesrat in einer Notsituation von seinem Recht gebrauch machen und Führungsstärke sowie Verantwortung übernehmen. Gewisse Massnahmen waren aber schlicht von der Ankündigung bis in Nachforschungen sinnlos. Wir haben alle dazu gelernt und hoffen, das Wissen nicht nochmals anwenden zu müssen.
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
A general increase in the coordination of the individual cantons in the health sector cannot do any harm. However, the federal government should take a coordinating position and not dictate from above.
Eine generell verstärkte Abstimmung der einzelnen Kantone im Gesundheitsbereich kann nicht schaden. Jedoch sollte der Bund eine koordinierende Position einnehmen und nicht von oben herab diktieren.
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
As far as it goes. However, if a teacher has to spend more than 50% of his or her attention on one child, this is also not goal-oriented.
So weit es geht. Wenn eine Lehrperson jedoch mehr als 50% ihrer Aufmerksamkeit für ein Kind aufwenden muss, ist dies auch nicht zielführend.
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 Matura does not need to be made less attractive. Vocational apprenticeships should simply be pushed again with higher apprentice wages.
Die Maturität muss nicht weniger attraktiv gestaltet werden. Die Berufslehre sollte einfach wieder gepusht werden mit höheren Lehrlingslöhne.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The biggest factor of a completed baccalaureate today is simply the income of the parents. It's a fact go check it out!
Der grösste Faktor einer abgeschlossenen Maturität ist heute schlicht das Einkommen der Eltern. It's a fact go check it out!
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
We can easily reduce the percentage of foreigners in Switzerland by automatically naturalizing people who have lived and worked here for at least ten years.
Wir können den Ausländeranteil in der Schweiz ganz einfach senken, indem wir z.B. Menschen, welche mindesten zehn Jahre bereits hier wohnen und arbeiten, automatisch einbürgern.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
It is a balancing act that is not easy to master. Due to the shortage of skilled workers, we are dependent on these workers. However, with qualified personnel and a continued lack of housing, rents will continue to rise.
Es ist ein Balanceakt, welcher nicht einfach zu meistern ist. Aufgrund des Fachkräftemangels sind wir auf diese Arbeitskräfte angewiesen. Jedoch wird mit qualifiziertem Personal und weiterhin mangelndem Wohnraum die Mieten weiter steigen.
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
Refugee camps like Moria, where tens of thousands of people are crammed together and at the mercy of the weather, must be fought at all costs. The external border procedures will result in tens of thousands of people being held in precisely such camps for weeks and months. Children who should actually be going to school are thus traumatized and integration in our country or reconstruction in their homeland is thus made more difficult.
Flüchtlingslager wie in Moria, wo zehntausende Menschen zusammengepfercht und den Witterungen ausgeliefert sind, gilt es auf jeden Fall zu bekämpfen. Die Aussengrenzverfahren werden zur Folge haben, dass zehntausende Menschen über Wochen und Monate in genau solchen Camps festgehalten werden. Kinder, die eigentlich zur Schule gehen sollten, werden so traumatisiert und Integration bei uns oder Wiederaufbau in der Heimat so erschwert.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Yes, as long as the official gender entry exists, non-binary people must be recognized by a third gender entry. In the long term, the Young Greens demand the abolition of the gender entry.
Ja, solange es den amtlichen Geschlechtseintrag gibt, müssen non-binäre Menschen durch einen dritten Geschlechtseintrag anerkannt werden. Langfristig fordern die Jungen Grünen die Abschaffung des Geschlechtseintrages.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
A fair inheritance tax would finally give some impetus to social mobility.
Eine faire Erbschaftssteuer würde der Sozialmobilität endlich wieder etwas Aufschwung geben.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
The Young Greens are calling for a minimum wage that safeguards livelihoods and also for a reduction in weekly working hours. In addition, older employees need improved protection against dismissal. The long-term unemployed should also be able to benefit from these measures. The number of collective labor agreements should be increased and the existing ones improved.
Die Jungen Grünen fordern einen Mindestlohn, welcher die Existenz sichert und zudem eine Senkung der Wochenarbeitszeit. Ausserdem brauchen ältere Mitarbeitende einen verbesserten Kündigungsschutz. Auch Langzeitarbeitslose sollen von diesen Maßnahmen profitieren können. Die Zahl der Gesamtarbeitsverträge sollte erhöht sowie die bestehenden verbessert werden.
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
There is also a need for guidelines to ensure that the financial sector invests in climate protection and not further in the fossil fuel industry.
Es braucht zudem Vorgaben, damit der Finanzsektor in den Klimaschutz und nicht weiter in die fossile Industrie investiert.
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
Protective regulations are not to be relaxed. Higher utilization rates are to be permissible in the case of particularly ecological construction methods, e.g. climate-neutral and particularly resource-saving construction (circular construction).
Schutzvorschriften sollen nicht gelockert werden. Höhere Ausnutzungsziffern sollen zulässig sein, wenn bei besonders ökologischer Bauweise z.B. klimaneutrales und besonders ressourcenschonendes Bauen (zirkuläres Bauen).
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Vehicles with combustion engines should no longer be registered even earlier. The year 2035 corresponds to the EU regulation.
Fahrzeuge mit Verbrennungsmotoren sollten schon früher nicht mehr zugelassen werden. Das Jahr 2035 entspricht der EU-Regelung.
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
A profound change is needed for an economy within planetary boundaries. Instead of excessive consumption, in an ecological economy we have more leisure time, recreational areas and a livelihood for our children and grandchildren. In the case of asbestos, CFCs and lead in gasoline, it also only worked through jointly coordinated bans by politicians, and no one today finds this a bad or even extreme measure.
Für eine Wirtschaft innerhalb der planetaren Grenzen braucht es einen tiefgreifenden Wandel. Statt übermäßigen Konsums haben wir in einer ökologischen Wirtschaft mehr Freizeit, Naherholungsgebiete und eine Lebensgrundlage für unsere Kinder und Enkelkinder. Bei Asbest, FCKW und Blei im Benzin hat es auch nur über gemeinsam koordinierte Verbote der Politik funktioniert und niemand findet das heute eine schlechte oder gar extreme Massnahme.
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
We must finally move forward with renewable energies. But we can't save every butterfly or frog. Electricity costs are constantly rising, and the best way to counteract this is to harness the power of nature in our own environment. By that I don't mean plastering every mountain with solar panels, but a smart electricity mix.
Wir müssen mit den erneuerbaren Energien endlich vorwärtsmachen. Dabei können wir nicht jeden Schmetterling oder Frosch retten. Die Stromkosten sind stetig am Steigen und am besten halten wir dagegen, wenn wir die Kräfte der Natur in unserer eigenen Umgebung nutzen. Damit meine ich nicht jeden Berg mit Solarpanels zupflastern, sondern einen smarten Strommix.
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
Third-generation nuclear power plants are simply no longer economically viable and, contrary to certain political voices, no one would currently want to finance such a project in Switzerland. Let alone bring it online in the foreseeable future. If the developments with fourth generation reactors continue to progress positively, we can gladly consider this again in 10-20 years. But NOW we have to build renewable energy!
AKWs der dritten Generation sind schlicht nicht mehr wirtschaftlich und entgegen gewisser politischen Stimmen würde sich zurzeit niemand finden, um ein solches Projekt in der Schweiz finanzieren zu wollen. Geschweige dieses in absehbarer Zeit an Netz gehen könnte. Falls die Entwicklungen mit Reaktoren der vierten Generation weiterhin positiv fortschreiten, können wir dies in 10-20 Jahren gerne nochmals in Betracht ziehen. JETZT müssen wir aber erneuerbare Energie bauen!
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
Around the world, urbanization is increasing rapidly. We must ensure that rural regions also have access to fiber optics, postal services, education and public transport.
Weltweit ist die Verstädterung rasant am zunehmen. Wir müssen darauf achten, dass ländliche Regionen auch Zugriff auf Glasfaser, Post, Bildung und ÖV haben.
Introduce progressive electricity tariffs
Would you be in favor of the introduction of increasing electricity tariffs when consumption is higher (progressive electricity tariffs)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The Young Greens call for progressive pricing of energy consumption as one of many measures for a sustainable energy policy. Those who consume more should also pay more.
Die Jungen Grünen fordern eine progressive Preisgestaltung des Energieverbrauchs als eine von vielen Massnahmen für eine nachhaltige Energiepolitik. Wer mehr verbraucht, soll auch mehr bezahlen.
Nature conservation
Making provisions for the protection of large predators more flexible
Are you in favor of further relaxing the protection regulations for large predators (lynx, wolf, bear)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Lynx and bear do not really seem to be a problem at the moment. But if a pack of wolves, of which we have today already significantly more than 10 years ago, should not have to decide every time the Federal Council on a shooting.
Luchs und Bär scheinen zurzeit nicht wirklich ein Problem zu sein. Wenn aber ein Wolfsrudel, von welchen wir heute bereits wieder deutlich mehr haben als noch vor 10 Jahren, sollte nicht jedes Mal der Bundesrat über einen Abschuss entscheiden müssen.
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Introduction of stricter rules on the protection of farm animals
Are you in favour of stricter animal welfare regulations for livestock (e.g. permanent access to outdoor areas)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
It is a great pity that the initiative against factory farming did not find a majority.
Es ist sehr schade, dass die Initiative gegen Massentierhaltung keine Mehrheit gefunden hat.
National territory available for biodiversity conservation
Should 30% of Switzerland's land area be dedicated to preserving biodiversity? [BePart question]

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
For our economy to function within planetary boundaries, we need to move away from the throwaway mentality. This includes a framework that makes repairs possible and more attractive than buying new. The manufacturers should be obliged to provide a construction plan for the device online and to offer spare parts via a store. Industrial adhesives that make it impossible to open devices should be banned.
Damit unsere Wirtschaft innerhalb der planetaren Grenzen funktioniert, müssen wir weg von der Wegwerfmentalität kommen. Dazu gehören Rahmenbedingungen, die Reparaturen ermöglichen und attraktiver machen als ein Neukauf. Die Hersteller sollten verpflichtet werden einen Bauplan zum Gerät online zu stellen und Ersatzteile über einen Shop anzubieten. Industriekleber welcher das Öffnen von Geräten verunmöglicht sollten Verboten werden.
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
I don't need 5G when hiking or skiing.
Ich benötige beim Wandern und Skifahren kein 5G.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Binding specifications and standards guarantee better cyber security and the interoperability of systems. However, it must also not get too out of hand and endanger the stability of the decentralized design.
Verbindliche Vorgaben und Standards garantieren eine bessere Cybersicherheit und die Interoperabilität der Systeme. Jedoch darf es auch nicht zu stark ausufern und die Stabilität des dezentralen Designs gefährden.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
More transparency on large Internet platforms (Google, Facebook, etc.). News platforms with a certain user size should take binding action against false information in the comment columns. News should be educational and not a circlejerk of patterers.
Mehr Transparenz bei grossen Internetplattformen (Google, Facebook usw.). Newsplattformen ab einer gewissen Usergrösse sollten verbindlich gegen Falschinformationen in den Kommentarspalten vorgehen. News sollte bildend sein und nicht ein Circlejerk von Schwurblern.
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
As long as international soccer, Formula 1 and Eurovision Songcontest are on SRF, I still see great potential for savings.
Solange Internationalen Fussball, Formel 1 und Eurovision Songcontest auf SRF läuft, sehe ich noch grosses Sparpotenzial.

Introducing an optional financial referendum against federal spending

Security & military
Increasing the size of the army to at least 120,000 soldiers
Are you in favor of expanding the army's target number of soldiers to at least 120,000?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Compulsory service for all genders with free choice between civilian, army service and civil defense should be introduced.
Eine Dienstpflicht für alle Geschlechter mit freier Auswahl zwischen Zivil-, Armeedienst und Zivilschutz sollte eingeführt werden.
Strengthening cooperation between the Swiss army and NATO
Should the Swiss Armed Forces expand their cooperation with NATO?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
However, the cooperation in the field of cybersecurity, which has already existed for a few years, seems interesting.
Die Zussamenarbeit im Bereich Cybersecurity, welche bereits seit ein paar Jahren besteht, wirkt jedoch interessant.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Scumonda da visar automaticamain la fatscha en locals publics
Should automatic facial recognition be banned in public spaces?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This ban must be introduced as soon as possible. The loss of personal freedom is simply too great a price to pay for the laziness of certain investigative authorities.
Dieses Verbot muss so bald wie möglich eingeführt werden. Der Verlust der persönlichen Freiheit ist schlicht ein zu grosser Preis für die Faulheit von bestimmten Ermittlungsbehörden.
Denounce the Schengen Agreement and strengthen border controls
Should Switzerland terminate the Schengen agreement with the EU and reintroduce more security checks directly on the border? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Foreign trade & foreign policy
Seek closer relations with the EU
Are you in favor of closer relations with the European Union (EU)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The negotiations on the framework agreement must finally be declared urgent by the Federal Council. By losing out on the energy agreement and Horizon 2030, we are putting Switzerland's great strengths at risk. A discussion on accession to the EEA or the EU should be conducted by the parties and the people less emotionally and more objectively.
Die Verhandlung zum Rahmenabkommen müssen endlich vom Bundesrat als dringlich erklärt werden. Mit Verlusten beim Energieabkommen und Horizon 2030 setzten wir grosse Stärken der Schweiz aufs Spiel. Eine Diskussion zum Beitritt in den EWR oder die EU sollte von den Parteien und dem Volk weniger emotional, sondern sachlicher geführt werden.
Seek a comprehensive free trade agreement with the United States
Should Switzerland strive for a comprehensive free trade agreement (including agriculture) with the USA?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

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
Despite or precisely because of the narrow "no" to the corporate responsibility initiative, parliament should abolish a version light that is not just a toothless paper tiger.
Das Parlament sollte trotz oder eben wegen des knappen Nein zur Konzernverantwortungsinitiative eine Version light ausschaffen welches nicht nur ein zahnloser Papiertiger ist.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Return to a strict interpretation of neutrality
Should Switzerland return to a strict interpretation of neutrality (renounce economic sanctions to a large extent)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Switzerland is militarily neutral, but not politically neutral. Switzerland should position itself politically on the side of international law and also be able to take sanctions in the event of violations of international law.
Die Schweiz ist militärisch neutral, nicht aber politisch neutral. Die Schweiz soll sich politisch auf der Seite des Völkerrechts positionieren und bei Verstössen gegen das Völkerrecht auch Sanktionen ergreifen können.

Life expectancy has increased significantly over the last 50 years. With an adjusted work/life balance, an increased retirement age would be perfectly conceivable. However, this would mean a further reduction in our net wage. With rising electricity prices, housing rents and health insurance premiums, we are already being asked to pay enough.
Die Lebenserwartung ist in den letzten 50 Jahren deutlich gestiegen. Mit einer angepassten Work/Life Balance wäre ein erhöhtes Rentenalter durchaus vorstellbar. Jedoch würde dies eine weitere Kürzung unseres Nettolohns bedeuten. Mit den steigenden Strompreisen, Wohnungsmieten und Krankenkassenprämien werden wir bereits genügend zur Kasse gebeten.
