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?

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
I am critical of repressive consequences of mandatory vaccination; however, I recognize the need for mandatory vaccination in some situations to protect vulnerable individuals.
Repressiven Konsequenzen einer Impfpflicht stehe ich kritisch gegenüber, jedoch anerkenne ich in manchen Situationen die Notwendigkeit einer Impfpflicht, um vulnerable Personen zu schützen.
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 sugar tax is a consumption tax and would therefore disproportionately affect people with low incomes. There are other ways for the state to reduce the sugar content in food.
Die Zuckersteuer ist eine Konsumsteuer und würde somit Menschen mit niedrigem Einkommen unverhältnismässig treffen. Es gibt andere Möglichkeiten für den Staat, den Zuckergehalt in Lebensmitteln zu senken.
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
There is a need for government health care where there are no additional costs for necessary health costs for patients*.
Es braucht eine staatliche Gesundheitsversorgung, bei der keine zusätzlichen Kosten für notwendige gesundheitliche Kosten für die Patient*innen entstehen.
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
Providing the population with healthcare services is a task of the federal government. The current composition of parliament means that right-wing parties are pushing through budget cuts in this area as well. Unfortunately, a neoliberal health policy is often pursued in most cantons as well. A federal plan makes sense, but it needs more resources (and at best possibilities for cantons to finance additional resources).
Die Versorgung der Bevölkerung mit Gesundheitsdienstleistungen ist eine Aufgabe des Bundes. Die aktuelle Zusammensetzung des Parlaments führt dazu, dass die rechten Parteien auch in diesem Bereich Budgetkürzungen durchsetzen. Auch in den meisten Kantonen wird leider oft eine neoliberale Gesundheitspolitik verfolgt. Eine bundesweite Planng ist sinnvoll, es braucht aber mehr Ressourcen (und allenfalls Möglichkeiten für Kantone, zusätzliche Ressourcen zu finanzieren).
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This measure helps to dismantle the high wall around Europe and also that there could be more skilled workers. However, it must be accompanied by the development of accompanying measures to prevent downward pressure on workers' wages.
Diese Massnahme hilft sowohl, die hohe Mauer um Europa abzubauen, sowie auch, dass es mehr Fachkräfte geben könnte. Sie muss jedoch mit dem Ausbau von flankierenden Massnahmen einhergehen, damit der Druck nach unten auf Löhne der Arbeiter*innen verhindert werden kann.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Or even after a shorter period, such as one year. Because people work here, pay taxes here and are part of an environment over which they should also have a say.
Oder sogar nach einer kürzeren Zeit, wie bspw. einem Jahr. Denn die Menschen arbeiten hier, zahlen hier Steuern und sind Teil eines Umfelds, über das sie auch mitbestimmen können sollen.
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
Euthanasia belongs to physical self-determination, but it must not happen that persons decide for it only because they see themselves as a "burden", but we must create such conditions that persons do not get into such situations. However, if a person wants it, this should be possible.
Sterbehilfe gehört zu körperlicher Selbstbestimmung, es darf jedoch nicht passieren, dass Personen sich dafür nur entscheiden, weil sie sich als eine "Last" sehen, sondern wir müssen solche Bedingungen schaffen, dass Personen nicht in solche Situationen kommen. Wenn eine Person es jedoch möchte, soll dies möglich sein.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This is a short-term solution that serves to reflect the reality lived by many people in Switzerland and made invisible today by the gender binary. In the long term, however, the goal must be the abolition of the gender binary.
Dies ist eine kurzfristige Lösung, die dazu dient, die Realität zu widerspiegeln, die von vielen Menschen in der Schweiz gelebt wird und die heute durch die Geschlechter-Binarität unsichtbar gemacht wird. Langfristig muss das Ziel jedoch die Abschaffung des Geschlechtseintrags sein.
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
But is currently not quite the case, among other things because "...with the current legislation, only children of couples who use a sperm donation from a sperm bank in Switzerland can have two same-sex parents from birth. In the case of medically assisted reproduction procedures abroad or private sperm donations, both parents are not legally recognized from birth..." Source: https://www.los.ch/ehe-fuer-alle/
Ist aber aktuell nicht ganz der Fall, u.a. da "...mit der jetzigen Gesetzgebung nur Kinder von Paaren, die eine Samenspende von einer Samenbank in der Schweiz in Anspruch nehmen, von Geburt an zwei gleichgeschlechtliche Eltern haben können. Bei Verfahren zur medizinisch unterstützten Fortpflanzung im Ausland oder bei privaten Samenspenden werden nicht beide Elternteile von Geburt an rechtlich anerkannt..."

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The direct federal tax is one of the most solidary taxes. The rich and companies pay more, due to progressive rates. A reduction of the direct federal tax would only make the rich even richer and weaken the public service.
Die direkte Bundessteuer ist eine der solidarischsten Steuern. Reiche und Unternehmen zahlen mehr, aufgrund progressiver Tarife. Eine Reduktion der direkten Bundessteuer würde nur die Reichen noch reicher werden lassen und den Service public schwächen.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Yes, but the tax losses from the introduction of individual taxation would have to be compensated. For example, through an increase in capital income taxes.
Ja, aber die Steuerausfälle bei der Einführung der Individualbesteuerung müssten kompensiert werden. Beispielsweise durch eine Erhöhung der Kapitaleinkommenssteuern.
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
The exemption amount could be higher, respectively the inheritance tax should be progressive and the tax factor on very high inheritances should be significantly higher than those on lower amounts. The JUSO, for example, proposes with the "Initiative for a Future" a climate inheritance tax of 50% from 50 million francs.
Der Freibetrag könnte höher sein, bzw. sollte die Erbschaftssteuer progressiv sein und der Steuerfaktor auf sehr hohe Erbschaften deutlich höher sein als jene auf tiefere Beträge. Die JUSO schlägt beispielsweise mit der "Initiative für eine Zukunft" eine Klimaerbschaftssteuer von 50% ab 50 Millionen Franken.
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
A minimum wage is also needed for apprentices, for example 1000 francs in the 1st year of apprenticeship.
Auch für Lernende braucht es einen Mindestlohn, beispielsweise von 1000 Franken im 1. Lehrjahr.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
The main reason for the housing situation is not the regulations but the profit orientation of private individuals and too small a role for the state. In principle, some facilitations could be positive, but would probably have less effect than rent regulations and active housing construction by the state. On the other hand, I reject measures that lead to a deterioration in the quality of housing and life.
Der Hauptgrund der Wohnsituation sind nicht die Vorschriften sondern die Profitorientierung von Privaten und eine zu kleine Rolle des Staats. Grundsätzlich könnten manche Erleichterungen positiv sein, würden jedoch wohl weniger bewirken, als Mietregulierungen und ein aktiver Wohnungsbau durch den Staat. Massnahmen, die eine Verschlechterung der Wohn- und Lebensqualität bewirken, lehne ich hingegen ab.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
There is also a need for equal pay controls for other discriminated groups, such as queer people and migrants.
Es braucht auch Kontrollen der Lohngleichheit für andere diskriminierten Gruppen, wie queere Personen und Migrant*innen.
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
Actually, this should happen even sooner, before 2030. At the same time, a massive expansion of public transport is necessary, while ensuring that it is affordable to enable a socially just shift to the use of Öv.
Eigentlich müsste dies noch früher passieren, nämlich vor 2030. Gleichzeitig ist ein massiver Ausbau des öffentlichen Verkehrs notwendig, wobei sichergestellt werden muss, dass dieser bezahlbar ist, um eine sozial gerechte Verlagerung zur Nutzung von Öv zu ermöglichen.
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
In principle, solutions should be found for which environmental and landscape protection regulations do not have to be relaxed; in some cases, it is a question of trade-offs and can still be legitimate. For example, there would have to be a solar installation obligation at least for all new buildings, even if it would not visually fully fit into the landscape.
Grundsätzlich sollen Lösungen gefunden werden, für die keine Umwelt-und Landschaftsschutzvorschriften gelockert werden müssen, in manchen Fällen ist es eine Abwägungsfrage und kann doch legitim sein. Beispielsweise müsste es eine Solaranlagenpflicht mindestens für alle Neubauten geben, auch wenn es nicht optisch voll in die Landschaft passen würde.
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 |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
This measure could place a heavier burden on people with lower incomes. The threshold for the higher prices would have to be set in such a way that normal private households are not affected. Higher prices for increased (and not necessary/legitimized by public interest) electricity consumption by the private sector would make more sense than measures that primarily affect households.
Diese Massnahme könnte Menschen mit tieferem Einkommen stärker belasten. Die Schwelle für die höheren Preise müsste so angesetzt werden, dass normale Privathaushalte nicht betroffen sind. Höhere Preise für einen erhöhten (und nicht notwendigen/durch öffentliches Interesse legitimierten) Stromverbrauch durch die Privatwirtschaft wären sinnvoller als Massnahmen, welche primär Haushalte treffen.

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 |

Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This measure favors and accelerates the ecological transformation of agriculture through the targeted use of public funds.
Diese Massnahme begünstigt und beschleunigt durch den gezielten Einsatz öffentlicher Mittel den ökologischen Umbau der Landwirtschaft.
Introduction of stricter rules on the protection of farm animals

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
Yes, the minimum guarantee period should be increased to 10 years to combat the short-term profit logic.
Ja, die Mindestgarantiedauer sollte auf 10 Jahre erhöht werden, um die kurzfristige Profitlogik zu bekämpfen.

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
Democratic control of large Internet platforms is needed, as well as decentralization of offerings.
Es braucht eine demokratische Kontrolle von grossen Internetplattformen, sowie auch eine Dezentralisierung der Angebote.
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
The initiative aims at attacking and weakening the public media, therefore it should be clearly rejected. However, the radio and television fees should be discussed, because they are socially unjust, because people with low incomes have less often 300 francs on the side than rich people.
Die Initiative zielt darauf ab, die öffentlichen Medien anzugreifen und zu schwächen, deswegen ist sie klar abzulehnen. Allerdings sollte über die Radio- und Fernsehabgaben diskutiert werden, da sie sozial ungerecht sind, weil Personen mit niedrigem Einkommen seltener 300 Franken auf der Seite haben, als Reiche.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
However, it must be clearly defined when the weapons can be delivered. For example, in the case of a clear majority in the UN. However, the problem must be tackled at the root, i.e. the arms trade in general, which Switzerland is supposed to stop.
Es muss jedoch klar definiert werden, wann die Waffen ausgeliefert werden können. Beispielsweise bei einer klaren Mehrheit in der UNO. Das Problem muss jedoch an der Wurzel gepackt werden, also am Waffenhandel allgemein, mit dem die Schweiz stoppen soll.

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
In my opinion, joining the EU at this point in time would not be a good decision, for example due to possible effects on public services, direct democracy and labor law. We need a new European construction, away from a neoliberal and elitist EU, towards a humane, social and democratic Europe. However, what is needed is, for example, a clear framework agreement with Swiss concessions, as with the EU citizenship directive, etc.
Ein EU-Beitritt zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt wäre meiner Meinung nach keine gute Entscheidung, beispielsweise durch mögliche Auswirkungen auf die öffentlichen Dienstleistungen, die direkte Demokratie und das Arbeitsrecht. Wir brauchen einen neuen europäischen Aufbau, weg von einer neoliberalen und elitären EU, hin zu einem humanen, sozialen und demokratischen Europa. Es braucht jedoch zum Beispiel ein klares Rahmenabkommen mit Schweizer Zugeständnissen, wie mit der Unionsbürgerrichtlinie etc.

Multinational corporations are becoming more powerful and the super-rich are becoming even richer, while hundreds of millions of people are dying of preventable deaths such as starvation.

Multinationale Konzerne werden immer mächtiger und die Superreichen werden noch reicher, während Hunderte Millionen von Menschen an verhindbarem Tod wie z.B. durch Hunger sterben.

The opportunities are clearly there to improve our lives, but democratic control and respect for human and fundamental rights are imperative, including in the development and application of new technologies.

Die Chancen sind klar vorhanden, um unser Leben zu verbessern, jedoch sind eine demokratische Kontrolle sowie das Einhalten der Menschen- und Grundrechte zwingend, auch bei der Entwicklung und Anwendung neuer Technologien.

Countries like Switzerland profit much more from the exploitation of the so-called "global south" than they give away in the form of "development cooperation". What is needed above all is an increased cooperation with the countries on an equal footing if they want it, a stop to their exploitation and reparation payments for the centuries of exploitation.
Länder wie die Schweiz, profitieren von der Ausbeutung des sog. "globalen Südens" viel mehr, als sie in Form der "Entwicklungszusammenarbeit" abgeben. Es braucht vor allem eine verstärkte Zusammenarbeit mit den Ländern auf Augenhöhe falls sie es wollen, einen Stopp ihrer Ausbeutung und Reparationszahlungen für die Jahrhunderten der Ausbeutung.

There needs to be an increase in pensions for all, as well as a full adjustment to inflation. However, marital status should have no influence on the amount of pensions.
Es braucht eine Erhöhung der Renten für alle, sowie auch eine vollständige Anpassung an die Teuerung. Der Zivilstand soll jedoch keinen Einfluss auf die Höhe der Renten haben.
