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
It's the most unfair tax today. We need to lower it for people who work.
C'est aujourd'hui l'impôt le plus injuste. Il faut le faire baisser pour les gens qui travaillent.
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
Yes, gradually. To finance it, we could, for example, introduce a small levy on financial income (dividends, capital gains) for the benefit of the AVS.
Oui, progressivement. Pour le financer, on pourrait par exemple introduire un petit prélèvement sur les revenus financiers (dividendes, gains en capitaux) au profit de l'AVS.
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
This reform increases contributions and reduces pensions. This is not acceptable.
Cette réforme augmente les cotisations et baisse les rentes. Ca n'est pas acceptable.
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
This is an essential basis for equality.
C'est une base essentielle pour l'égalité.
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
It should also take action to monitor rents, because the system where it's up to individual tenants to defend themselves against abuse is highly problematic.
Elle devrait également agir pour surveiller les loyers, car le système où c'est au locataire, individuellement, de se défendre contre les abus, est très problématique.
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
Priority for diseases that threaten to spread again (e.g. measles), via the MMR or MMRV vaccine.
En priorité pour les maladies menaçant de se répandre à nouveau (rougeole par ex.), via le vaccin ROR ou RORV.
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
Rather, a limitation of sugar content, especially "hidden" sugars in foods. Generally speaking, rules for the industry are better than selection by the wallet.
Plutôt une limitation des contenus en sucre, en particulier des sucres "cachés" dans les aliments. De manière générale mieux vaut des règles pour l'industrie qu'une sélection par le porte-monnaie.
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
Not a chance! The number of people who forego medical care is already very high in Switzerland. And it's costly in the long term: illnesses detected too late are much more difficult and costly to cure, and cause greater suffering.
Surtout pas! Le renoncement aux soins est déjà très élevé en Suisse. Et il coûte cher à long terme: les maladies détectées trop tard sont bien plus difficiles et coûteuses à guérir et causent des souffrances plus dures.
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
We need to learn from the pandemic and adjust certain instruments, in particular: restrictions must always be accompanied by support measures for the people and businesses concerned. The failure to reduce commercial rents during the pandemic was a scandal.
Il faut tirer les leçons de la pandémie et ajuster certains instruments, notamment: les restrictions doivent toujours être assorties de mesures de soutien pour les personnes et entreprises concernés. L'absence de réduction des loyers commerciaux durant la pandémie était un scandale.
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
Cantonal jurisdiction is appropriate.
La compétence cantonale est adéquate.
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
We need to equip ourselves with the appropriate means for implementation.
Il faut se doter des moyens appropriés pour la mise en œuvre.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Inequalities are born early. Investing in early educational support is worthwhile for reasons of justice, but also for macro-economic reasons: increasing the general level of education of the population is a good calculation.
Les inégalités naissent très tôt. Investir dans le soutien scolaire précoce en vaut la peine pour des raisons de justice, mais aussi pour des raisons macro-économiques: augmenter le niveau général de formation de la population est un bon calcul.
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
For example, a person who attended school in Switzerland should be able to obtain Swiss citizenship more easily than today.
Par exemple, une personne qui a fait l'école en Suisse devrait pouvoir obtenir la nationalité suisse plus facilement qu'aujourd'hui.
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
If necessary. However, the priority is to strengthen measures to help unemployed people in Switzerland find work. In particular, companies need to do more to hire workers at the end of their careers (50+).
Si c'est nécessaire. Cependant, il faut en priorité renforcer les mesures pour que les personnes au chômage en Suisse retrouvent du travail. Les entreprises doivent faire davantage d'efforts pour engager des travailleuses et travailleurs en fin de carrière (50+) notamment.
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
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
This is already the case in the Canton of Vaud.
C'est d'ailleurs déjà le cas dans le Canton de Vaud.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Experiments underway in several cities will help determine the best way to proceed.
Les expériences en cours dans plusieurs villes permettront de déterminer la meilleure manière de procéder.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In practice, this practice is tolerated and accepted. Strictly supervised, it enables people with chronic illnesses, for example, to make a free choice.
Dans les faits, cette pratique est tolérée et admise. Strictement encadrée, elle permet aux personnes concernées par une maladie chronique par exemple de faire un choix libre.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
It's not clear whether surrogate motherhood is also implied in the question. I'm opposed to this practice, which is a problematic commodification of women's bodies.
Ce n'est pas clair de savoir si la gestation pour autrui est également sous-entendue dans la question. Je m'oppose à cette pratique qui est une marchandisation problématique du corps des femmes.
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
A new distribution of the tax burden to relieve working people on low and middle incomes is necessary. Revenues from the new tax on multinationals introduced under the aegis of the OECD could be devoted to such a reduction.
Une nouvelle répartition de la charge fiscale pour décharger les gens qui travaillent avec des revenus bas et moyens et nécessaire. Les recettes du nouvel impôt pour les multinationales introduit sous l'égide de l'OCDE pourraient être consacrées à une telle réduction.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Yes, as long as the reform is not a disproportionate gift to the very high-income earners, which is a risk depending on the model chosen.
Oui, pour autant que la réforme ne soit pas un cadeau disproportionné aux très hauts revenus, ce qui est un risque selon le modèle choisi.
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
Yes, with a threshold set at 2 or 3 million.
Oui, avec un seuil placé à 2 ou 3 millions.
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
On the contrary, some cantons, such as Zug, have attracted a huge number of companies, while benefiting from the infrastructures of their neighbors (Zurich, for example). This kind of canton has to pay its share of the equalization payments, which is more than normal.
Au contraire, certains cantons comme Zoug ont attiré énormément d'entreprises, mais en profitant des infrastructures des voisins (Zurich par exemple dans ce cas). Ce genre de canton doit verser sa part dans la péréquation, c'est plus que normal.
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
Full-time work should be enough to live on and support a family. A minimum wage of 4,000 francs is a first step in this direction. Measures are also needed to develop and extend collective labor agreements (CLAs).
Travailler à plein temps doit permettre de vivre et de faire vivre une famille. Un salaire minimum à 4000 francs est un premier pas dans cette direction. Il faut également des mesures pour développer et étendre les conventions collectives de travail (CCT).
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
It's only because Switzerland has a regulated market that we've been spared the delirious price rises that have affected the whole of Europe. The last thing we need is to change this.
Ce n'est que parce que la Suisse a un marché régulé que nous avons été épargné par les hausses délirantes qui ont touché toute l'Europe. Il ne faut surtout pas changer ce fonctionnement.
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
The priority is to reduce noise at source. But certain standards can be revised in the light of technological progress. Where dense urban construction makes sense, it should be made possible. However, we also need to make sure that the homes we build are available for rent, and not diverted into offices or airbnb rentals.
Il faut en priorité réduire le bruit à la source. Mais certaines normes peuvent être revues au vu des progrès technologiques. Là où une construction dense en milieu urbain est pertinente, il faut la rendre possible. Il faut toutefois également vérifier que les logements construits sont disponibles à la location, et pas détournés en bureaux ou locations airbnb.
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
Zero tolerance for wage discrimination.
Tolérance zéro pour la discrimination salariale.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
We know that new lanes quickly become saturated too. Instead, we need to develop rail and public transport, make it cheaper, and smooth out demand over the day.
On sait que les nouvelles voies sont très rapidement aussi saturées. Il faut plutôt développer le rail et les transports publics, le rendre moins cher, et lisser la demande sur la journée.
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
Such a ban gives an important signal to the industry to develop vehicles with other propulsion systems, and thus make them more affordable.
Une telle interdiction donne un signal important à l'industrie pour développer des véhicules avec d'autres propulsions et donc les rendre plus abordables.
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
Banning certain particularly polluting practices or techniques, for example, can sometimes be useful.
L'interdiction de certaines pratiques ou techniques particulièrement polluantes, par exemple, peut parfois être utile.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Ensure a comprehensive range of public services
Should the state guarantee a comprehensive public service offering also in rural regions?

|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Yes, the country's cohesion is at stake.
Oui, il en va de la cohésion du pays.
Introduce progressive electricity tariffs

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
On the other hand, we need to give serious support to the breeders whose livelihoods are threatened.
Il faut en revanche soutenir sérieusement les éleveurs qui sont concernés et donc menacés dans leurs moyens de subsistance.
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Today, direct payments compensate for inadequate market prices. Instead, we need to attack distributors' margins and improve farmers' remuneration.
Les paiements directs compensent aujourd'hui des prix insuffisants sur le marché. Il faut plutôt s'attaquer aux marges de distributeurs et améliorer la rémunération des paysans.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Yes, but the prices paid to agricultural producers need to be raised (and the margins of supermarkets regulated) to take account of higher costs and enable farmers to make a decent living from their work.
Oui, mais les prix payés aux producteurs agricoles doivent être revalorisés (et les marges de la grande distribution encadrées) afin de tenir compte des coûts plus importants et de permettre aux paysan-ne-s de vivre de leur travail correctement.
National territory available for biodiversity conservation
Should 30% of Switzerland's land area be dedicated to preserving biodiversity? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
A fixed quota risks compromising the objectives of housing construction and the development of renewable energies. Biodiversity must be promoted everywhere, including by renaturating areas close to settlements.
Un quota fixe risque de compromettre les objectifs de construction de logement et de développement des énergies renouvelables. La biodiversité doit être promue partout, y compris en renaturant des zones proches de l'habitat.
Ban on single-use plastics
Would you support a ban on single-use plastic and non-recyclable plastics? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Europe's ban on single-use plastics shows that if the rule is clear, companies adapt, and so do citizens.
L'interdiction des plastiques à usage unique réalisée en Europe montre que si la règle est claire, les entreprises s'adaptent, et les citoyens également.
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
Of course! Thanks to a political decision taken at European level, we'll soon have a single charger, which will avoid the wasteful multiplication of cables. We must continue along this path.
Evidemment! Grâce à une action politique décidée au niveau européen, nous aurons a priori bientôt un chargeur unique, ce qui évite le gaspillage par la multiplication des câbles. Il faut poursuivre dans cette voie.
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
Health risks have been scientifically ruled out, and Switzerland still has the strictest standards. This framework must be maintained.
Les risques sanitaires ont pu être écartés scientifiquement et la Suisse a toujours les normes les plus strictes. Il faut maintenir ce cadre.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The Confederation can be active in developing standards. But centralization for digitization alone would not make sense, and would not be respectful of federalism.
La Confédération peut être active pour développer des standards. Mais une centralisation uniquement pour la numérisation n'aurait pas de sens et ne serait pas respectueuse du fédéralisme.
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

| 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 |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Security & military
Increasing the size of the army to at least 120,000 soldiers
Are you in favor of expanding the army's target number of soldiers to at least 120,000?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The army's needs must be reanalyzed in the light of new threats (hybrid warfare, online attacks). Development based on the number of soldiers makes no sense.
Les besoins de l'armée doivent être réanalysés au vu des nouvelles menaces (guerres hybrides, attaques en ligne). Un développement basé sur un nombre de soldats n'a pas de sens.
Strengthening cooperation between the Swiss army and NATO
Should the Swiss Armed Forces expand their cooperation with 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
However, we need to analyze each case to ensure that this deepening of relations is beneficial to Swiss workers and SMEs.
Il faut cependant analyser à chaque fois comment on peut s'assurer que cet approfondissement des relations soit favorable aux travailleuses et travailleurs ainsi qu'aux PME de Suisse.
Seek a comprehensive free trade agreement with the United States
Should Switzerland strive for a comprehensive free trade agreement (including agriculture) with the USA?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Environmental standards are too different, and this would lead to unfair competition for many products.
Les normes environnementales sont trop différentes et cela conduirait à une concurrence déloyale pour de nombreux produits.
Comply with social and environmental standards
Should Swiss companies be obliged to ensure that their subsidiaries and suppliers operating abroad comply with social and environmental standards?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
At least above a certain size, as called for by the initiative for responsible multinationals.
En tous cas à partir d'une certaine taille, comme le demandait l'initiative pour des multinationales responsables.
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 |

Return to a strict interpretation of neutrality

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Comment
The right to privacy includes the right not to be monitored. However, the state must have the means and legal basis to counter new threats, for example in the field of cybersecurity.
Le droit à une vie privée comprend le droit de ne pas être surveillé. Cependant, l'Etat doit disposer, par exemple dans le domaine de la cybersécurité, des moyens et des bases légales pour contrer les nouvelles menaces.

Market logic alone does not guarantee this. Some sectors need to be taken out of the market, such as housing, or remain outside it, such as schools or transport infrastructure.

Digitization is not an end in itself. If it reinforces the concentration of power and wealth, it must be regulated and balanced by political measures. If it opens up new opportunities for everyone, we must encourage it and ensure that it is democratic.
La numérisation n'est pas une fin en soi. Si elle renforce la concentration du pouvoir et des richesses, il faut la réguler et l'équilibrer par des mesures politiques. Si elle offre de nouvelles possibilités à tout le monde, il faut l'encourager et veiller à ce qu'elle soit démocratique.

The introduction of standards enables us to guide economic activity, by indicating the sectors of the future in which there will be investment, and also by designating those sectors that are destined to become less important.
