In Krisensituationen muss der Bundesrat die notwendigen Entscheidkompetenzen haben. Im Vergleich mit anderen Ländern waren die Einschränkungen gering und die Unterstützung für die Wirtschaft gross.

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Ich bin im Grunde für Integration, allerdings brauchen die Schulen die notwendigen Ressourcen. So wie es heute ist, ist es unbefriedigend: weder die Kinder, welche eine zusätzliche Stütze brauchen, kommen auf ihre Kosten, noch jene, welche vorwärts machen könnten.
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
Mit der anstehenden Pensionierungswelle der Babyboomers werden wir möglicherweise nicht darum herumkommen, weitere Fachkräfte aus dem Ausland zuzulassen. Ich finde es jedoch wichtig, dass es sich um qualifizierte Personen handelt.

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Comment
Es kommt jedoch auf den Zeitpunkt der Einführung an (solange der Mantelerlass nicht verabschiedet ist, ist eine Liberalisierung nicht opportun, das würde das Fuder überladen).
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
Es braucht vernüftige Vorgaben (ohne die Lebensqualität einzuschränken), insbesondere um Wohnraum zu schaffen.

Atomkraftwerke sind keine Lösung solange das Abfallthema nicht gelöst ist, zudem würde es uns mittelfristig nicht helfen, da es zu lange dauert, um ein neues Atomkraftwerk zu bauen. Hingegen sollten Betriebsverlängerungen der aktuellen AKWs geprüft werden.

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Grundsätzlich eher ja, nach dem Verbraucherprinzip, allerdings kommt es auch auf den Strommix an ("dreckiger"/fossil erzeugter Strom sollte teurer sein als Strom aus erneuerbarer Energie). Es gilt jetzt, das Klimaschutzgesetz so rasch wie möglich zu konkretisieren.

Ein guter Schutz der Umwelt und Wirtschaftswachstum sollen sich nicht ausschliessen, im Gegenteil. Mittel-bis langfristig ist Umweltschutz ein Vorteil für die Wirtschaft, respektive Umweltschäden sind schlecht für die Wirtschaft (Verlust natürlicher Ressourcen, Gesundheitsschädigung etc).
