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]

|---|---|---|---|
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
Le nombre d'hôpitaux au total en Suisse n'est pas l'élément pertinent pour des soins de qualité. Les infrastructures hospitalières doivent être concrètement accessible (et rapidement pour les urgences). C'est au contraire la décentralisation de l'accès aux soins qui assure une bonne qualité de prise en charge rapide pour les soins "standards". Ce n'est pas incompatible avec le fait de disposer de pôles de compétence spécifiques pour les types de maladies qui nécessitent des compétences pointues.
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?

|---|---|---|---|

|---|---|---|---|

|---|---|---|---|

|---|---|---|---|
Comment
La pratique devrait évidemment être strictement encadrée pour s'assurer que seul-e-s des patient-e-s qui auront clairement exprimé sans la moindre équivoque leur volonté soient concerné-e-s.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?

|---|---|---|---|

|---|---|---|---|
Tax married couples individually

| 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
Le montant à partir duquel l'impôt est prélevé pourrait être discuté afin de ne pas pénaliser les héritages composés de biens qui ne sont que difficilement séparable, notamment, les transferts de petites entreprises ou d'une maison familiale, à l'inverse des sommes d'argent.
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
Toute personne doit pouvoir vivre de son travail. Dans certaines régions, le coût de la vie est plus élevé qu'ailleurs. Ces régions devraient donc garder la possibilités de prévoir des salaires minimaux plus élevés que la limite nationale.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Le marché énnergétique régulé n'est pas une contrainte mais une protection: les hausses de prix de ces derniers mois pour les entités se trouvant sur le marché libre ont été supérieures aux hausses sur le marché régulé. Elles auraient été impossible à assumer pour les ménages privés.
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
C'est la recherche de rentabilité des milieux immobiliers qui entrave la construction de logement abordables et non les prescriptions qui servent à assurer une qualité de vie aux futurs habitants. Construire des logements est un défi important. Toutefois, la qualité du logement est également essentielle. Assouplir les prescriptions risquerait de résulter en de mauvais bâtiments (trop massifs ou trop exposés au bruit p. ex.). Fondamentalement, c'est le type d'immobilier qui doit changer.
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
D'un point de vue climatique, le seul passage aux véhicules électriques sera insuffisant. C'est la diminution du nombre de véhicules et le passage à des solutions comme l'autopartage qui auront un réel impact. Toutefois, pour les véhicules restant, une motorisation électrique est préférable à une motorisation fossile.
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
Les incitations sont louables mais insuffisantes. Les incitations étant la plupart du temps financières, elles toucheront peu les couches les plus fortunées de la population, mais dégraderont la qualité de vie de la majorité. Un socle minimal de règles permet donc une certaine égalité. Ces interdictions doivent être couplées avec les investissements publics adéquats. Miser sur l'investissement privé qui vise la rentabilité est illusoire. Il n'est plus temps de monnayer la survie de l'humanité.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Authorize the construction of new nuclear power plants

|---|---|---|---|
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
Les gens ne sont, en partie, pas responsable de l'entier de leur consommation. Si votre logement est mal isolé parce que votre régie veut faire des économies sur votre dos et que vous devez avoir un radiateur électrique en plus, il n'y a pas de raison que ce soit à vous de payer la différence. Cela reviendrait à faire couvrir les manquements des milieux immobiliers par les locataires par exemple. A l'inverse des investissements publics importants sont nécessaires pour réguler la consommation.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Ban on single-use plastics

| 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
La numérisation n'est pas un but en soi. La plupart des projets en la matière ne répondent pas à des besoins avérés.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
L'idée est en soi intéressante mais en l'état, abaisser l'âge du droit de vote ne suffira pas pour faire participer les jeunes. Si on veut renforcer la participation politique des jeunes, il faut avant tout renforcer drastiquement l'éducation citoyenne à l'école: elle doit inclure non seulement la connaissance du système politique mais aussi l'apprentissage du débat, de l'argumentation, de l'esprit critique, etc. pour se préparer à voter.
Introducing an optional financial referendum against federal spending
Should it be possible to hold a referendum on federal spending above a certain amount (optional financial referendum)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

|---|---|---|---|
Strengthening cooperation between the Swiss army and NATO

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
La logique serait surtout de ne pas produire d'armes de guerre quand on est un pays neutre...
Scumonda da visar automaticamain la fatscha en locals publics
Should automatic facial recognition be banned in public spaces?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Denounce the Schengen Agreement and strengthen border controls

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Comment
Réduire la quantité de sucre consommée améliore la santé et diminuerait d'autres coûts à charge de la collectivité, notamment dans l'assurance-maladie. Toutefois, ce sont souvent les produits les moins chers qui contiennent du sucre en grande quantité. Une taxe devrait ainsi viser les producteurs de ces aliments et non directement les consommateurs pour ne pas pénaliser les personnes à faible revenu qui n'ont pas les moyens de consommer des aliments de meilleure qualité.
