Welfare state & family

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This is especially important for people who had low wages while working.
Dies ist vor allem bei Menschen wichtig, die während der Berufstätigkeit geringe Löhne hatten.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
The Corona pandemic has shown that the Federal Council has acted to a large extent in accordance with the wishes of the majority of voters. However, it needs this leeway in emergency situations.
Die Corona-Pandemie hat gezeigt, dass der Bundesrat in hohem Masse so gehandelt hat, wie die Mehrheit der Stimmberechtigten dies wünschten. Diesen Spielraum in Notsituationen braucht er jedoch.
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
The risk of underuse in less densely populated areas (e.g. Sarganserland) would increase with such a federal competence. Public health care services close to home - especially in the area of hospitals - remain important and manageable.
Das Risiko einer Unterversorgung in wenig dicht besiedelten Gebieten (z.B. Sarganserland) würde mit einer solchem Kompetenz des Bundes wachsen. Wohnortnaher Service public in der Gesundheitsversorgung - gerade auch im Bereich der Spitäler - bleibt wichtig und auch leitbar.
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
Current implementation shows that many schools have failed with this integration. The goal must be to integrate as many children with learning difficulties as possible, but not if the learning of children without difficulties is not hindered by integration. Children who are not sufficiently capable of integration should be educated separately, and this until integration capability is sufficiently achieved.
Die aktuelle Umsetzung zeigt, dass viele Schulen mit dieser Integration gescheitert sind. Ziel muss sein, möglichst viele Kinder mit Lernschwierigkeiten zu integrieren, dies jedoch dann nicht, wenn das Lernen der Kinder ohne Schwierigkeiten nicht durch die Integration behindert wird. Zu wenig integrationsfähige Kinder sollen separat beschult werden, und zwar so lange, bis eine Integrationsfähigkeit ausreichend erreicht wird.
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
Rather, he should make sure that the level there does not creep down.
Er soll vielmehr darauf achten, dass dort das Niveau nicht schleichend sinkt.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I support the Four Quarters Campaign. The hurdles remain high, but the chances of integration are increased. Those who are integrated are also more likely to adopt our values of democratic coexistence and seeking compromises and jointly supported solutions.
Ich unterstütze die Aktion Vierviertel. Die Hürden bleiben hoch, aber die Chancen auf Integration werden damit erhöht. Wer integriert ist, übernimmt auch eher unsere Werte des demokratischen Miteinanders und des Suchens von Kompromissen und gemeinsam getragenen Lösungen.
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
Without foreign labor, the shortage of skilled workers cannot be sufficiently addressed.
Ohne ausländische Arbeitskräfte kann der Fachkräfte-Mangel zu wenig bekämpft werden.
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

|---|---|---|---|
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
Ultimately, this depends on how relative prosperity develops. At present, there is little reason to cut taxes here.
Das hängt letztlich davon ab, wie sich der relative Wohlstand entwickelt. Aktuell gibt es wenig Anlass, hier Steuern zu senken.

Introduce a national inheritance tax

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Tax competition between the cantons sets tw (not only, but to too great an extent) wrong incentives and thus undermines the performance principle. It should therefore be reduced to a greater extent by forms of fiscal equalization.
Der Steuerwettbewerb zwischen den Kantonen setzt tw (nicht nur, aber in zu hohem Ausmass) falsche Anreize und unterläuft damit das Leistungsprinzip. Es soll deshalb stärker durch Formen des Finanzausgleichs reduziert werden.
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
Existing examples in Switzerland (e.g. BS or NE) show that previously expressed fears hardly ever materialize and instead more fairness is introduced. The experiences there are good. It also does not seem to undermine the management principle.
Bestehende Beispiele in der Schweiz (z.B. BS oder NE) zeigen, dass vorher geäusserte Befürchtungen kaum eintreffen und dafür mehr Fairness einzieht. Die Erfahrungen dort sind gut. Auch scheint es das Leitungsprinzip nicht zu unterlaufen.

| 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
Tw these regulations also prevent sensible measures, e.g. photovoltaics on listed houses.
Tw verhindern diese Vorschriften auch sinnvolle Massnahmen, z.B. Photovoltaik auf denkmalgeschützten Häusern.

|---|---|---|---|
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
Should the construction of new nuclear power plants in Switzerland be allowed again?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This should not be ruled out, because technological development is accompanied by an improvement in the safety of nuclear power plants.
Ausschliessen sollte man das nicht, weil mit der technologischen Entwicklung auch eine Verbesserung der Sicherheit der AKW's einhergeht.
Ensure a comprehensive range of public services
Should the state guarantee a comprehensive public service offering also in rural regions?

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
For lynx, there is no need, but for wolves, the need for regulation is increasing.
Beim Luchs gibt es keinen Bedarf, beim Wolf hingegen nimmt der Regulierungsbedarf zu.

|---|---|---|---|
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
Progress cannot be controlled in this way. At some point, the devices will become obsolete. The average lifespan of about 5 years is therefore less related to the susceptibility to repairs than to the frequent lack of compatibility with new software.
Fortschritt lässt sich so nicht steuern. Irgendwann sind die Geräte überholt. Die mittlere Lebensdauer von ca. 5 Jahren steht deshalb weniger mit der Anfälligkeit für Reparaturen im Zusammenhang, als vielmehr mit oft fehlende Kompatibilität zu neuer Software.

Comment
A balance is needed between the free market and state control. For example, there is a much greater need for the state in education and health (to ensure quality and public service, as is currently the case) than in industry and most commercial goods. By contrast, good solutions are lacking in banking and agriculture - currently the most heavily subsidized markets.
Es braucht eine Balance zwischen freiem Markt und staatlicher Kontrolle. So braucht es in Bildung und Gesundheit deutlich mehr Staat (zur Gewährleistung von Qualität und Service public, wie es derzeit der Fall ist) als in der Industrie und bei den meisten Handelsgütern. Hingegen fehlen gute Lösungen im Bereich der Banken und der Landwirtschaft - den derzeit am stärksten subventionierten Märkten.
