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
Actuellement, la prime par tête correspond à un impôt tout à fait injuste. La réduction des primes par des subventions de l'Etat corrige cette totale injustice et fait correspondre le montant de la prime au revenu de la personne, comme tout impôt.
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
Il s'agit là encore d'un modèle patriarcal. Chaque personne doit pouvoir recevoir une rente complète. On assiste actuellement à des divorces uniquement pour pouvoir bénéficier d'une rente permettant de vivre. Ce système doit changer
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Les femmes sont les principales perdantes. L'augmentation de l'âge de l'AVS devait être compensé par une amélioration de leur 2ème pilier selon les promesses électorales. Il n'en est rien, bien au contraire. Des accords avaient été trouvés entre les syndicats et le conseil fédéral pour améliorer les rentes. Les partis bourgeois ont torpillé ces accords.
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
Un congé parental vient d'être accepté dans le canton de Genève. D'autres initiatives cantonales suivent. Notre parti demande un congé parental de 38 semaines. La présence de la mère durant les 16 premières semaines, puis du père ou de la mère en alternance est importante pour le développement de l'enfant. Ce modèle existe dans les pays scandinave où il a fait ses preuves sans entrainer de problèmes économiques.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
L'indécence des loyers pratiqués par certains promoteurs rend la recherche d'un logement de plus en plus difficile pour nombre de personnes dans notre pays. Un pourcentage de logements d'utilité publique doit être imposé lors de toute nouvelle construction ou augmentation des surfaces à bâtir.
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
Les vaccins ont fait leur preuve dans la protection des enfants contre des maladies potentiellement mortelles (rougeole) ou occasionnant des handicaps sévères (poliomyélite). On assiste à une légère diminution de l'adhésion aux vaccins ce qui peut avoir des conséquences gravissimes pour l'enfant lui-même, mais aussi pour la société avec des épidémies de rougeoles atteignant des personnes vulnérables.
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
Tous les sucres ajoutés par l'industrie alimentaire conduisent à une addiction(prouvée scientifiquement comme aussi importante que la dépendance à la cocaïne) et participent à l'épidémie d'obésité observée dans les pays "riches", laquelle est suivie par une épidémie de diabète qui participe aux coûts élevés des soins et à l'augmentation des primes maladie.
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
Pour beaucoup, la franchise minimale est déjà un obstacle, par exemple pour acheter les premiers emballages de leur traitement médicamenteux en début d'année ou pour consulter. En Suisse, la participation des ménages aux frais de santé est la plus haute de tous les pays de l'OCDE, estimée à environ 60% du total des coûts (primes, franchises, quote-part, médicaments non remboursés, soins dentaires,...). Il ne faut pas en rajouter !
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
La gestion de la pandémie dans notre pays a été aussi bonne que possible dans la situation de total inconnu où le monde entier s'est retrouvé en 2020. Il n'y a pas eu de "dictature sanitaire" comme cela a été vu en Chine, ni de restriction excessive avec "laisser-passer" comme en France par exemple. Le Conseil Fédéral a trouvé un bon équilibre pour sauvegarder la capacité de fonctionnement des hôpitaux sans trop restreindre les libertés, même s'il y aura toujours des gens pour se plaindre....
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
La situation devient hors de contrôle en termes de coûts du système de santé. Une planification au niveau national permettrait de créer des centres de compétence dans un ou deux endroits du pays pour des pathologies bien précises. La population a tout à y gagner : l'expérience des médecins serait optimale, puisque traitant tous les cas du pays. Ne pas avoir des spécialistes tous les 20 ou 30 km permettrait aussi de réduire les coûts du système de soin.
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?

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

| 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
Nous sommes le pays d'Europe qui a le plus haut pourcentage d'étranger.es résidant de façon permanente (25%). Ceci permet aux partis d'extrême droite de parler d'"envahissement" par les étrangers, lesquels sont pour 70% d'entre eux des voisins européens, travaillant et participant à alimenter les caisses AVS. Nombreux seraient ceux qui souhaitent se naturaliser, mais les conditions sont beaucoup plus restrictives que dans d'autres pays.
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
Pour autant que cela ne prétérite pas des travailleuses et travailleurs suisses. Ce contingent pour les Etats tiers doit être évalué de façon régulière en fonction des besoins de notre pays.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Cela est contraire à la convention des droits de l'homme. Le droit d'asile doit être respecté.
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
Et même au niveau cantonal.

|---|---|---|---|
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|

| 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
C'est un minimum !
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
Nous devons densifier là où cela se justifie (dans les villes et les centralités), mais cette densification doit être de qualité. Ailleurs, nous devons veiller à une préservation de terres libres de construction, favorable à l'agriculture, mais aussi à la biodiversité.
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
Inscrite dans la constitution et dans la loi, cette égalité n'a jamais été acquise jusqu'à ce jour. Des sanctions doivent être prises vis à vis des employeurs-euses qui ne respectent pas la loi et ceci quelle que soit la taille de l'entreprise. Comment expliquer des différences pouvant aller jusqu'à 18% entre le salaire d'un homme et d'une femme à compétences égales ?
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
L'urgence climatique doit faire changer les comportements. Il faut optimiser les transports en commun et en aucun cas donner plus d'avantages aux utilisateurs de véhicules privés polluants.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Sans mesures restrictives, nous n'atteindrons jamais les objectifs en termes de réchauffement climatique et de protection de la biodiversité. Les belles déclarations ne suffisent malheureusement pas. Il y a 10 ans, le Conseil fédéral s'est engagé à atteindre 17% de biodiversité sur son territoire. Il ne les a jamais atteint. Il s'et maintenant fixé d'atteindre 30%, mais ces déclarations ne sont que des intentions et il faut plus de contraintes pour y parvenir et sauver, si possible, la planète
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
Oui si on parle du côté esthétique des énergies renouvelables. Tant pis si ce n'est pas joli, il faut que cela soit efficace. Plutôt non si on ne respecte pas la protection de l'environnement. Les éoliennes doivent par exemple être installée hors des couloirs migratoires des oiseaux...
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
Les déchets nucléaires continueront à être une menace pour l'humanité durant des centaines ou plutôt des milliers d'années. Nous ne maitrisons pas ce problème et enfouir des fûts de déchets radioactifs au fond des océans n'est de loin pas une solution. Non à toute nouvelle centrale nucléaire et oui à un développement massif des énergies propres.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|

|---|---|---|---|
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|

Ces paiements directs devraient même être soumis à une formation continue obligatoire pour que les exploitant.es agricoles soient au courant de toutes les nouveautés en matière de traitements écologiques de leur production.
Introduction of stricter rules on the protection of farm animals
Are you in favour of stricter animal welfare regulations for livestock (e.g. permanent access to outdoor areas)?

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

Comply with social and environmental standards

|---|---|---|---|
Terminate bilateral agreements with the EU
Should Switzerland terminate the Bilateral Agreements with the EU and seek a free trade agreement without the free movement of persons?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Notre prospérité est en grande partie due aux échanges commerciaux avec l'UE. Cela s'inscrit dans le contextes des accords bilatéraux. L'abandon de la libre circulation des personnes entrainerait inévitablement la résiliation des autres accords bilatéraux à plus ou moins court terme (il y en a plus de 120) et cela aurait des répercussions extrêmes pour notre pays.
Return to a strict interpretation of neutrality

Même si l'espérance de vie "totale" a augmenté, l'espérance de vie "en bonne santé" n'a pas changé ces dernières années et est en moyenne de 70 ans. D'autres solutions existent pour pérenniser l'AVS : un salaire égal entre femmes et hommes, une légère augmentation des cotisations paritaires.
