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 insurance premiums are a particular burden on the household budgets of the middle classes. Even better than additional funding would be to correct the inefficiencies and misaligned incentives in the healthcare system.
Die Krankenkassenprämien belasten insbesondere das Haushaltsbudet des Mittelstands. Noch besser als zusätzliche Mittel wäre es, die Ineffizienzen und Fehlanreize im Gesundheitssystem zu korrigieren.
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
The lifting of the ceiling leads to a strengthening of the better position of marriage compared to other life models. However, the lifting of the ceiling could be one piece of the puzzle among many in an overall revision of rights and obligations in connection with marital status.
Die Aufhebung der Plafonierung führt zur Verstärkung der Besserstellung der Ehe gegenüber anderen Lebensmodellen. Die Aufhebung der Plafonierung könnte aber ein Puzzlestein von vielen bei einer Gesamtrevision der Rechte und Pflichten im Zusammenhang mit dem Zivilstand sein.
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
For decades, the excessively high conversion rate has caused a non-transparent redistribution in the second pillar. Young people (baby boomers) and people with small pension assets, especially women, are paying the bill.
Der zu hohe Umwandlungssatz verursacht seit Jahrzehnten eine intransparente Umverteilung in der zweiten Säule. Die Zeche zahlen Junge (geburtenschwache Jahrgänge) und Personen mit kleinen Vorsorgevermögen, insbesondere Frauen.
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
We are in favor of parental leave of equal duration for both parents, provided that both are employed (instead of maternity and paternity leave)
Wir befürworten eine gleich lange Elternzeit für beide Eltern, sofern beide erwerbstätig sind (anstelle des Mutterschafts- und Vaterschaftsurlaubs)
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
For example, in the context of the Covid pandemic, we advocated more speed in vaccination strategy, but not mandatory vaccination. We want to achieve sufficiently high vaccination rates through persuasion, not coercion.
Wir haben uns z.B. im Kontext der Covid-Pandemie für mehr Tempo bei der Impf-Strategie ausgesprochen, aber nicht für eine Impfpflicht. Wir wollen genügend hohe Impfraten durch Überzeugungsarbeit und nicht durch Zwang erzielen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The "polluter pays" principle and personal responsibility must also be strengthened in the area of healthcare costs. In view of the high burden of health insurance premiums on households, we also advocate a targeted expansion of premium reductions. Furthermore, the deductibles have not been adjusted in line with the development of costs and purchasing power.
Das Verursacherprinzip und die Eigenverantwortung sind grundsätzlich auch bei den Gesundheitskosten zu stärken. Angesichts der hohen Belastung der Haushalte durch Krankenkassenprämien setzen wir uns gleichzeitig für einen gezielten Ausbau der Prämienverbilligung ein. Desweitern wurden die Franchisen nicht der Teuerung/Kaufkraftentwicklung angepasst.
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
Experience shows that the federal government and the cantons must be able to quickly resort to temporary measures in the event of a crisis, while politics must be able to act as a corrective. It is not expedient to proactively restrict the scope for action.
Die Erfahrung zeigt, dass Bund und Kantone im Krisenfall rasch auf temporäre Massnahmen zurückgreifen können müssen und die Politik dabei aber als Korrektiv wirken können muss. Es ist nicht zielführend, den Handlungsspielraum proaktiv einzuschränken.
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
Currently, the cantons plan autonomously, which leads to overprovision.
Aktuell planen die Kantone autonom, was zu einer Überversorgung führt.
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 support integrative schools in principle. However, this must be geared to the individual needs of the children. Along with this, the quality of the school system and teaching competence must be strengthened. Criteria must also be defined for when integration would require too many resources.
Wir unterstützen grundsätzlich die integrative Schule. Diese muss aber auf die individuellen Bedürfnisse der Kinder ausgerichtet sein. Damit einhergehend muss die Qualität des Schulsystems und der Lehrkompetenz gestärkt werden. Es müssen zudem Kriterien festgelegt werden, wann die Integration zu viel Ressourcen beanspruchen würde.
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
We would support standardizing the requirements, but not increasing them.
Eine Vereinheitlichung der Anforderungen würden wir befürworten, eine Erhöhung nicht.
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
We want every person to be able to realize their full potential - throughout their lives. We must promote the talents and potential of all children so that every child has the opportunity to lead a self-determined life. That is why we support the targeted expansion of support for students from socially disadvantaged families, for example in early childhood education.
Wir wollen, dass jeder Mensch sein volles Potenzial ausschöpfen kann – und das ein Leben lang. Wir müssen die Talente und Potenziale aller Kinder fördern, damit jedes Kind die Möglichkeit auf ein selbstbestimmtes Leben bekommt. Deshalb unterstützen wir einen gezielten Ausbau der Förderung von Schüler:innen aus sozial benachteiligten Familien, bspw. in der frühkindlichen Förderung.
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
Some of the rules are absurd and pure harassment. They must be standardized and relaxed. However, integration should be maintained or strengthened as a criterion.
Teilweise sind die Regeln absurd und reine Schikane. Sie müssen vereinheitlicht und gelockert werden. Integration soll jedoch als Kriterium erhalten oder gestärkt werden.
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
We are in urgent need of this workforce.
Wir sind auf diese Arbeitskräfte dringend angewiesen.
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's a concept that works on paper at best.
Es ist ein Konzept, das höchstens auf dem Papier funktioniert.
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
These people have lived here for a long time, are usually well integrated, participate in associations and pay their taxes. Therefore, they should be allowed to vote on the issues that affect them in everyday life.
Diese Personen leben schon lange hier, sind meist gut integriert, wirken in Vereinen mit und bezahlen ihre Steuern. Sie sollten deshalb über die Themen, welche sie im Alltag stark betreffen auch abstimmen und wählen dürfen.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Alternatively, we would also advocate dispensing with the gender entry
Wir würden alternativ auch den Verzicht auf den Geschlechtseintrag befürworten
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
Equality of all family and life models as well as equal opportunities are a matter of course for us and must be ensured. Discrimination and racism have no place in our society.
Die Gleichstellung aller Familien- und Lebensmodelle sowie die Chancengerechtigkeit sind für uns selbstverständlich und sicherzustellen. Diskriminierung und Rassismus haben in unserer Gesellschaft keinen Platz.
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
In view of the structural deficit, tax cuts are not appropriate in the current fiscal situation. However, we continue to support important tax reforms, such as individual taxation.
Angesichts des strukturellen Defizits sind Steuersenkungen in der aktuellen Finanzlage nicht angebracht. Wir unterstützen jedoch weiterhin wichtige Steuerreformen, wie z.B. die Individualbesteuerung.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Creates the right incentives and does not discriminate against any lifestyle.
Schafft die richtigen Anreize und diskriminiert kein Lebensmodell.
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
With this question it depends very much on the design (e.g. will other taxes be reduced/adjusted in return or not, will consideration be given to SMEs, etc.). Both would be important aspects for a yes vote (reduce taxes on labor, enable succession planning).
Bei dieser Frage kommt es sehr auf die Ausgestaltung an (z.B. werden im Gegenzug andere Steuern reduziert/angepasst oder nicht, wird Rücksicht auf KMU genommen etc.). Beides wären wichtige Aspekte für ein Ja (Steuern auf Arbeit reduzieren, Nachfolgeregelungen ermöglichen)
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 healthy financial equalization is very important for a healthy federal relationship among the cantons.
Ein gesunder Finanzausgleich ist sehr wichtig für ein gesundes, föderales Verhältnis unter den Kantonen.
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
n across-the-board minimum wage would unnecessarily restrict the flexible Swiss labor market and the social partnership and thus jeopardize the competitiveness of Switzerland as a workplace.
in flächendeckender Mindestlohn würde den flexiblen Schweizer Arbeitsmarkt und die Sozialpartnerschaft unnötig einschränken und damit die Konkurrenzfähigkeit des Werkplatzes Schweiz gefährden.
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
Above all, smart regulation. No populist extreme demands.
Vor allem smarte Regulierung. Keine populistischen Extremforderungen.
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
Today's hermaphrodite construct is the worst of all.
Das heutige Zwitterkonstrukt ist das schlechteste von allem.
Make housing construction regulations more flexible
Should housing construction regulations be relaxed (e.g., noise protection, occupancy rates)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Nowadays, companies can no longer afford to discriminate against wages on the basis of gender. Today's transparency rules are basically sufficient.
Unternehmen können sich heutzutage gar keine Lohndiskriminierung aufgrund des Geschlechts mehr leisten. Die heutigen Transparenzregeln reichen grundsätzlich aus.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
First, the existing infrastructure must be used more efficiently. This can be done through demand management (mobility pricing)
Zuerst muss die vorhandene Infrastruktur effizienter genutzt werden. Dies kann durch eine Nachfragesteuerung erfolgen (Mobility Pricing)
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
Technical progress will clarify this question. Electric cars will simply be significantly cheaper.
Der technische Fortschritt wird diese Frage klären. Elektroautos werden schlicht deutlich günstiger sein.
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
To ensure that our descendants can also develop freely in their lives, we have a duty to leave them neither ecological nor financial legacies. We want to achieve this primarily with incentives and only where not otherwise possible with regulations and prohibitions.
Damit sich auch unsere Nachkommen in ihrem Leben frei entfalten können, stehen wir in der Pflicht, ihnen weder ökologische noch finanzielle Altlasten zu hinterlassen. Das wollen wir in erster Linie mit Anreizen und nur wo nicht anders möglich mit Vorschriften und Verboten erreichen.
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
Nature conservation is a key concern. The energy transition brings with it challenges for biodiversity and environmental protection. In order to make the best possible use of the domestic potential for energy generation, compromises are required.
Der Naturschutz ist ein zentrales Anliegen. Die Energiewende bringt Herausforderungen für Biodiversität und Umweltschutz mit sich. Um das inländische Potenzial zur Energieerzeugung so gut wie möglich zu nutzen, sind Kompromisse gefragt.
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
Existing plants should run as long as they are safe. Nuclear research shall continue to be supported. As soon as (really) new technologies (generation 4, nuclear fusion) are available, the discussion shall be renewed.
Die bestehenden Anlagen sollen laufen, solange sie sicher sind. Kernforschung soll weiterhin unterstütz werden. Sobald (wirklich) neue Technologien (Generation 4, Kernfusion) verfügbar sind, soll die Diskussion erneut erfolgen.
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
It all comes down to intelligent implementation. For example, there are alternatives to post offices. The only thing that matters is the service and not the method of delivery.
Es kommt auf eine intelligente Umsetzung an. Z.B. gibt es Alternativen zu Poststellen. Entscheidend ist nur der Service und nicht die Art der Erbringung.
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
In principle, the idea is to be welcomed. The practical implementation will be highly complex and threatens to become a bureaucratic monster.
Grundsätzlich ist die Idee zu begrüssen. Die praktische Umsetzung wird hoch komplex sein und droht ein Bürokratiemonster zu werden.

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)?

Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?

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
This is necessary to preserve our livelihood. Cleverly designed, it is also compatible with agriculture.

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
If reusable systems and industry solutions do not bear fruit, we will have to discuss bans or depot fees. In Switzerland, 14,000 tons of plastic still end up in the environment every year.
Wenn Mehrwegsysteme und Branchenlösungen nicht fruchten, werden wir über Verbote oder Depot-Gebühren diskutieren müssen. Noch immer gelangen in der Schweiz pro Jahr 14’000 Tonnen Plastik in die Umwelt.
More sustainable use of electronic devices

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In the event of market failure, we call for consistent application of the Cartel Act. We reject regulation in advance, which can have a negative impact (e.g. inhibiting innovation).
Bei Marktversagen fordern wir eine konsequente Anwendung des Kartellgesetzes. Eine Regulierung auf Vorrat, die sich negativ auswirken kann (bspw. Innovationshemmung), lehnen wir ab.
Lowering TV and radio license fees
A popular initiative aims to reduce television and radio fees (CHF 200 per household, exemption for businesses). Do you support this initiative?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Media diversity, quality journalism and regional media are central to a direct, federal and multilingual democracy like Switzerland. There is no doubt that innovations are needed in media funding, but not this kind of clear-cutting.
Die Medienvielfalt, Qualitätsjournalismus und regionale Medien sind zentral für eine direkte, föderale und mehrsprachige Demokratie wie die Schweiz. Bei der Medienförderung braucht es unbestritten Innovationen, aber nicht diesen Kahlschlag.
Lowering the voting age to 16

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
Old-age provision is increasingly coming under increasingly out of balance due to demographic imbalance. The GLP pursues the goal of redistribution from employees to pensioners and at the same time to maintain the pension level as far as possible. This requires an adjustment and flexibilization of the retirement age, taking into account the industry-specific conditions.
Die Altersvorsorge gerät durch den demografischen Wandel zunehmend ins Ungleichgewicht. Die GLP verfolgt das Ziel die Umverteilung von Arbeitnehmenden zu Rentner:innen zu reduzieren und zugleich das Rentenniveau möglichst zu erhalten. Dafür sind eine Anpassung und Flexibilisierung des Rentenalters unter Berücksichtigung der branchenspezifischen Verhältnisse nötig.
