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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
AHV pensions must be brought into line with the cost of living, and an increase is necessary for the entire population who benefit from them. The same applies to social benefits.

Numerous studies show that this in no way solves traffic problems. It makes more sense to increase the attractiveness and affordability of high-quality public transport, and to support soft mobility.

The latest arrests of climate activists, in particular, show that repression can increase, especially against political opponents and activists, even non-violent ones. This maxim helps justify them.

How then can we explain the growth in economic inequality? In the long term, the richest are always richer, and the number of people below the poverty line is increasing.

Yes, as long as people are supported. Many people don't have access to the tools or skills needed to use digital media. This has an impact on access to the law. What's more, there is a need to regulate usage, to ensure that people's safety and human rights are respected.
Oui, pour autant que la population soit accompagnée. Nombreuses sont les personnes qui n'ont pas accès à des outils ou aux compétences nécessaires pour utiliser des supports numérisés.

Absolutely not! The mission of prisons in particular is to enable people to reintegrate into society over the long term. Unfortunately, today's Swiss prison system is not at its best, and we should follow the example of countries that have opted for more humane prisons, more open to society. Every sentence should take into account the question of reintegration and desistance.
Absolument pas! La mission notamment des prisons est de permettre aux personnes de se réinsérer durablement dans la société. Malheureusement aujourd'hui le système carcéral suisse n'est pas au top, nous devrions prendre exemple sur des pays ayant misé sur des prisons plus humaines, et plus ouvertes sur la société. Toute peine devrait prendre en compte la question de la réinsertion et de la désistance.
