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
Rising premiums are a problem. The solution to low premiums, however, lies in increasing the efficiency of the healthcare industry and through ideas such as the budget model proposed by the FDP.
Steigende Prämien sind ein Problem. Die Lösung zu günstigen Prämien, liegt jedoch in der Effizienzsteigerung der Gesundheitsbranche sowie durch Ideen wie bspw. das von der FDP vorgeschlagene Budgetmodell.
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]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I am in favor of a parental leave model, but this should be implemented by making the current entitlements (between parents & part-time option) more flexible. I do not see the need to expand these current entitlements.
Ich befürworte ein Elternzeitmodell, jedoch soll dies durch eine Flexibilisierung der aktuell geltenden Ansprüche (Zwischen den Eltern & Teilzeitmöglichkeit) umgesetzt werden. Ein Ausbau dieser aktuellen Ansprüche sehe ich nicht für notwendig.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
The cantons know their regions and inhabitants better than the federal government, so hospital planning should remain a matter for the cantons. I consider cooperation between the cantons to be sensible, but this is already happening today and does not require any further control by the federal government.
Die Kantone kennen ihre Regionen und Bewohner besser als der Bund, die Spitalplanung sollte daher weiterhin Sache der Kantone sein. Eine Kooperation der Kantone erachte ich für sinnvoll, dies geschieht jedoch heute schon und braucht keine weitere Kontrolle durch den Bund.
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
In principle, I consider the model to be sensible, but neither the therapy of the affected child nor the education of the classmates must suffer due to a potential overtaxing of the teacher. The teachers must be supported accordingly, and they must also have the possibility to refuse an intergrative class.
Ich erachte das Modell grundsätzlich als sinnvoll, jedoch darf weder die Therapie des betroffenen Kindes, noch die Bildung der Klassenkameraden durch eine potentielle Überforderung der Lehrperson leiden. Die Lehrpersonen müssen entsprechend unterstützt werde, sowie auch die Möglichkeit eine intergrative Klasse abzulehnen erhalten.
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
Switzerland has a proven dual education system, which should continue to be strengthened. I consider the trend towards more and more baccalaureates / fewer apprenticeships to be bad for this dual model.
Die Schweiz hat ein bewährtes Duales Bildungssystem, dies soll weiterhin gestärkt werden. Den Trend zu immer mehr Maturitäten / weniger Lehren erachte ich als schlecht für dieses duale Modell.
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
Education is the foundation of equal opportunity. I support a complete education voucher model that allows free choice of school.
Bildung ist die Grundlage der Chancengleichheit. Ich befürworte ein komplettes Bildungsgutscheinmodell, welches eine freie Schulwahl ermöglicht.
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
The residence period is not ideal today. A residence period based on the municipalities is not up to date. This period should be adapted to the residence in a canton, because young people are more mobile and change the municipality more often. However, the duration of the period should not be shortened; naturalization is the completion of integration, not its beginning.
Die Wohnsitzfrist ist heute nicht ideal. Eine Wohnfrist bezogen auf die Gemeinden ist nicht zeitgemäss. Diese Friste sollte auf den Wohnsitz in einem Kanton angepasst werden, da junge Leute nunmal mobiler sind und die Gemeinde häufiger wechseln. Die Dauer der Frist sollte jedoch nicht verkürzt werden, Einbürgerung ist die Vollendung der Integration, nicht deren Beginn.
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)?

Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Cannabis is no more dangerous than alcohol. The arbitrary, non-scientifically based division into legal and illegal drugs is not expedient.
Cannabis ist nicht gefährlicher als Alkohol. Die willlkürliche, nicht wissenschaftsfundierte Aufteilung in legale und illegale Drogen ist nicht zielführend.
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
Instead of creating a new, third indication, the option to not indicate gender should be allowed instead.
Statt der Schaffung einer neuen, dritten Angabe sollte stattdessen die Möglichkeit zur Nicht-Angabe des Geschlechts ermöglicht werden.
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
Legalization of surrogacy is necessary and desirable to complete equality.
Die Legalisierung der Leihmutterschaft ist zur Vervollständigung der Gleichstellung notwendig und wünschenswert.
Finances & taxes

Do you support tax cuts at the federal level over the next four years?

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

Are you in favor of introducing a minimum wage of CHF 4,000 for all full-time employees?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
The current regulation has weaknesses, as recently shown by the CS incident, the regulation needs to be adjusted.
Die aktuelle Regelung hat Schwächen, wie jüngst der CS Vorfall zeigte, die Reglung muss angepasst werden.
Liberalizzare completamente il mercato dell'elettricità
Should private households be free to choose their electricity supplier (complete liberalization of the electricity market)?

|---|---|---|---|
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
The expansion should take place under a sensible consideration of energy efficiency and environmental protection.
Der Ausbau soll unter einer sinnvollen Abwägung von Energieeffizienz und Umweltschutz geschehen.
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
I am in favor of science-based technology neutrality. If a nuclear power plant makes sense from an energy and economic point of view, as well as in terms of safety, the federal government should not prevent its construction.
Ich befürworte eine wissenschaftsfundierte Technologieneutralität. Insofern ein AKW energetisch, und wirtschaftlich, sowie unter Berücksichtigung der Sicherheit, sinnvoll ist, soll der Bund den Bau nicht verhindern.
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
The offer should be guaranteed under consideration of the demand. (e.g. bus on demand) I do not consider a general expansion to be expedient.
Das Angebot soll unter Berücksichtigung der Nachfrage gewährleistet sein. (Bsp. Bus auf Abruf) Einen generellen Ausbau erachte ich für nicht zielführend.
Introduce progressive electricity tariffs
Would you be in favor of the introduction of increasing electricity tariffs when consumption is higher (progressive electricity tariffs)?

|---|---|---|---|
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
The competence should be the responsibility of the mountain cantons. I, as a Zurich voter, do not have the same concern and interest in these issues as someone in Graubünden or Valais.
Die Kompetenz sollte in Verantwortung der Bergkantone liegen. Ich als Zürcher Stimmbürger habe nicht diesselbe Betroffenheit und Interesse an diesen Themen wie jemand in Graubünden oder Wallis.
Direct payments for farms

|---|---|---|---|
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 current relationship with the EU is important for Switzerland. This must be maintained and continuously adapted. However, an overweighting of the EU in relation to other countries must not happen. Switzerland should focus on good, especially economic relations with as many countries as possible.
Die aktuelle Beziehung mit der EU ist wichtig für die Schweiz. Diese muss erhalten und laufend angepasst werden. Eine Übergewichtung der EU gegenüber anderen Ländern darf jedoch nicht geschehen. Die Schweiz sollte sich auf gute, insbesondere wirtschaftliche Beziehungen mit möglichst vielen Staaten fokussieren.

Comment
An increase in the retirement age is necessary due to the financial difficulties of the AHV, and justifiable thanks to ever higher life expectancy.
Eine Erhöhung des Rentenalters ist aufgrund der finanziellen Schwierigkeiten der AHV notwendig, und dank immer höherer Lebenserwartung vertretbar.
