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
Health care as a whole must be looked at urgently and appropriate measures taken, including unchecked premium growth. In the long term, we can only benefit from fair healthcare that we can afford.
Die Gesundheitsversorgung im Ganzen muss dringenst angeschaut und entsprechende Massnahmen getroffen werden inklusive des ungebremsten Prämienwachstums. Wir können langfristig nur von einer gerechten Gesundheitsversorgung profitieren, die wir uns auch leisten können.
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 by all means!! No capping of the AHV pension for married couples! The tax discrimination for married couples, which was already prohibited by the Federal Court in 1984, must finally be implemented! More on this: see EVP initiative
Ja unbedingt!! Keine Plafonierung der AHV-Rente für Ehepaare! Die bereits 1984 durch das Bundesgericht verbotene steuerliche Benachteiligung für Ehepaare muss endlich umgesetzt werden! Mehr dazu: siehe EVP-Initiative
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
On the other hand, this issue must be considered in the context of the overall LOB reform.
Hingegen muss diese Frage im Kontext der gesamten BVG-Reform betrachtet werden.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Legal measures for non-profit housing construction are to be defined by the federal government and the cantons are to receive corresponding financial support. The cantons should be responsible for the implementation of these measures.
Gesetzliche Massnahmen zum gemeinnützigen Wohnungsbau sind vom Bund festzulegen und die Kantone entsprechend finanziell zu unterstützen. Die Ausgestaltung sollte über die Kantone erfolgen.
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
A vaccination requirement as a basis for opinion formation and discussion is sufficient. In contrast, the successful eradication of a vaccine-based disease requires mass immunization of the population, see poliomyelitis.
Eine Impfvorgabe als Grundlage zur Meinungsbildung und Diskussion genügt. Hingegen ist für die erfolgreiche Ausrottung einer impfbasierten Krankheit eine Massenimmunisierung der Bevölkerung notwendig, siehe Poliomyelitis.
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
The abolition of subsidies to the Swiss sugar industry would be the first step!
Die Abschaffung der Subventientionen der schweizerischen Zuckerindustrie wäre der erste Schritt!
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
Contributing to health care costs are already a huge problem for low-income households. It cannot be that parts of the population have to do without health care! The steady increase in health care costs must be solved differently!
Die Beteiligung an den Gesundheitskosten sind für Haushalte mit kleinem Einkommen schon ein riesiges Problem. Es kann nicht sein, dass Teile der Bevölkerung auf die Gesundheitsversorgung verzichten müssen! Der stetige Anstieg der Gesundheitskosten muss anders gelöst werden!
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 have learned a lot from the Corona pandemic and the conclusions drawn from it should be authoritative for future scenarios. The people want honest and transparent communication from the Federal Council.
Durch die Corona-Pandemie haben wir vieles gelernt und die daraus gezogenen Schlüsse sollten für zukünftige Szenarien massgebend sein. Das Volk wünscht eine ehrliche und transparente Kommunikation vom Bundesrat.
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
A nationwide hospital planning and health care delivery system is urgently needed to reform skyrocketing health care costs and unhealthy hospital competition.
Eine gesamtschweizerische Spitalplanung und Gesundheitsversorung ist dringend nötig, um die explodierenden Gesundheitskosten und den ungesunden Spitalwettbewerb zu reformieren.
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
The integrative school is exhausted. There is an urgent need for accompanying school offers for children with special needs. This is for the good of all and in the sense of an effective education for all.
Die integrative Schule ist ausgereizt. Es braucht zur Volksschule dringend flankierende Schulangebote Kinder mit erhöhten Bedürfnissen. Dies zum Wohl aller und im Sinne einer effektiven Bildung für alle.
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
Our dual education system is excellent and allows individual educational paths. For this reason, a requirement increase to the gymnasiale Maturität is legitimate.
Unser duales Bildungssystem ist ausgezeichnet und erlaubt individuelle Bildungswege. Aus diesem Grund legitimiert sich eine Anforderungerhöhung an die gymnasiale Maturität.
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
Equal opportunities must continue to be promoted.
Chancengleichheit muss weiterhin gefördert werden.
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
Yes absolutely for all who have integrated socially and linguistically and make a living. The residence periods should not be limited to municipalities.
Ja unbedingt für alle, die sich sozial und sprachlich Integriert haben und ihren Lebensunterhalt bestreiten. Die Wohnsitzfristen sollen sich nicht kommunal beschränken.
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
So that the shortage of skilled workers can be counteracted.
Damit dem Fachkräftemangel entgegengewirkt werden kann.
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
It does not change anything in the domestic asylum procedure, because asylum seekers want to come to Europe and accept the most inhumane journeys. To fly and house these people outside Europe during their asylum procedure is nonsensical and contradicts the rule of law and human rights!
Es ändert nichts am inländischen Asylverfahren, da Asylsuchende nach Europa kommen wollen und dabei die inhumansten Reisen in Kauf nehmen. Diese Menschen während ihres Asylverfahrens ausserhalb Europas auszufliegen und unterzubringen ist unsinnig und widerspricht der Rechtstaatlichkeit und der Menschenrechte!
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 should be regulated constitutionally and thus apply to the whole of Switzerland. Federalist provisions should be avoided.
Dies sollte verfasslich geregelt werden und damit für die ganze Schweiz gelten. Von föderalistischen Bestimmungen ist abzusehen.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The legalization of any addictive substance is dangerous, see alcohol. On the other hand, cannabis should be allowed to be used for therapeutic purposes.
Die Legalisierung jeglicher Suchtmittelsubstanz ist gefährlich, siehe Alkohol. Hingegen soll Cannabis zu therapeutischen Zwecken eingesetzt werden können.
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
Palliative care must be better publicized as a legitimate alternative!
Palliativ Care muss als berechtige Alternative besser bekannt gemacht werden!
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Regarding readability, I would like to see wording that is inclusive of all people regardless of gender.
Bezüglich der Lesbarkeit wünsche ich mir eine Formulierung, die alle Menschen unabhängig ihres Geschlechtes einbezieht.
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
Only with regard to the desire to have children are there biological limits, and realizing these through sperm donation and surrogacy is ethically problematic. The rights of children are given too little weight.
Einzig bezüglich Kinderwunsch sind biologische Grenzen gegeben und diese per Samenspende und Leihmutterschaft zu verwirklichen, ist ethisch problematisch. Die Rechte der Kinder werden zu wenig gewichtet.
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
No more national debt! The federal budget must be balanced and for the benefit of the people.
Keine weiteren Staatsverschuldungen! Das Bundesbudget muss ausgeglichen und zum Wohle des Volkes sein.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Continue joint taxation, but without marriage penalty!
Weiterhin eine gemeinsame Besteuerung, jedoch ohne Heiratsstrafe!
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
On the other hand, a national inheritance tax on inheritances over 2 million.
Hingegen eine nationale Erbschaftsfsteuer auf Erbschaften über 2 Millionen.
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
A tightening of the fiance equalization between the cantons is imperatively indicated!
Eine Verschärfung des Fianzausgleiches zwischen den Kantonen ist zwingend angezeigt!
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
Internships are an exception. However, these should be clearly regulated so that they cannot be abused as a cheap labor function.
Ausnahmen sind Praktikumsstellen. Diese sollten jedoch klar geregelt werden, damit sie nicht als billige Arbeitskraftfunktion missbraucht werden können.
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
Full liberalization may mean opening the market with the EU. We would then be purchasing electricity from nuclear and coal-fired power plants.
Eine vollständige Liberalisierung kann unter Umständen eine Marktöffnung mit der EU bedeuten. Da bezögen wir Strom aus AKWs und Kohlenkraftwerken.
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
No, for noise protection Yes, for the utilization factor with regard to dense construction
Nein, beim Lärmschutz Ja, bei der Ausnutzungsziffer hinsichtlich verdichtendem Bauens
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
New roads will again bring increased traffic. This removes the motivation to switch to public transport.
Neue Strassen bringen erneut vermehrten Verkehr. Damit entfällt die Motivation fürs Umsteigen auf den öffentlichen Verkehr.
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
The trend and production is going in that direction anyway.
Der Trend und die Produktion geht sowieso in diese Richtung.
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
Whenever possible, with incentives and target agreements. If this allows the desired goals to be achieved in the allotted time, restrictions and prohibitions must be applied.
Wenn immer möglich mit Anreize und Zielvereinbarungen. Lassen sich damit die gewünschten Ziele in der dafür vorgesehenen Zeit verwirklichen, muss mit Einschränkungen und Verboten angesetzt werden.
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
Energy security has top priority. Nevertheless, environmental and landscape protection must not be disregarded. Both aspects should be taken into account. It would be controversial if high plateaus were flooded, thus depriving mountain tourism of its basis.
Die Energiesicherheit hat oberste Priorität. Trotzdem darf der Umwelt- und Landschaftsschutz nicht ausseracht gelassen werden. Beide Aspekte sollen Beachtung erhalten. Es wäre kontrovers, wenn Hochebenen überflutet und damit dem Bergtourismus die Grundlage entzogen würden.

Introduce progressive electricity tariffs
Would you be in favor of the introduction of increasing electricity tariffs when consumption is higher (progressive electricity tariffs)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
For households not connected to district heating, this would be unfair.
Für Haushalte, die nicht an Fernwärme angebunden sind, wäre das unfair.
