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
The criteria must be clearer and there must be a better gradation. For example, if you increase your workload and therefore no longer qualify for premium reductions, in the worst case you end up with less money in your pocket.
Die Kriterien müssen eher klarer sein und eine bessere Abstufung erfolgen. Wer z.B. sein Pensum erhöht und deshalb nicht mehr in den Genuss von Prämienverbilligungen kommt, steht im dümmsten Fall am Ende mit weniger Geld in der Tasche da.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
The 2nd pillar is there for one's own occupational pension provision. By reducing the conversion rate, which is too high, the burden on young people and people with lower incomes (mainly women for social reasons) in particular is eased, because the unfair and system-adverse redistribution is reduced. The AHV is there for redistribution.
Die 2. Säule ist für die eigene berufliche Vorsorge da. Durch die Reduktion des zu hohen Umwandlungssatzes werden insbesondere Junge und Personen mit geringerem Einkommen (gesellschaftlich bedingt vor allem Frauen) entlastet, weil die ungerechte und systemwidrige Umverteilung reduziert wird. Für die Umverteilung ist die AHV da.

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Introduce a tax on sugary foods

|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Special and extraordinary situations are always accompanied by great uncertainties and unpredictability. Therefore, as many options as possible should be open to the Federal Council - within the framework of the rule of law (proportionality, etc.). What is important is democratic control ex post, whether by transfer to ordinary legislative law or by means of judicial control.
Besondere und ausserordentliche Lagen gehen immer mit grossen Unsicherheiten und Unvorhersehbarkeiten einher. Dem Bundesrat sollten deshalb - im Rahmen des Rechtsstaats (Verhältnismässigkeit usw.) - möglichts viele Optionen offen stehen. Wichtig ist die demokratische Kontrolle ex post, sei es durch Überführung in ordentliches Legislativrecht oder mittels gerichtlicher Kontrolle.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
If too many young people prefer the Gymnasium to a vocational apprenticeship, the hurdles should be moderately (!) raised, especially to keep out those who would not belong there because of their ability and/or simply do the Gymer because they knew nothing else better. It is important here not to exclude fundamentally suitable young people because of a lack of equal opportunities.
Wenn zu viele Jugendliche das Gymnasium einer Berufslehre vorziehen, sollten die Hürden moderat (!) erhöht werden, um insbesondere diejenigen fernzuhalten, die aufgrund ihres Leistungsvermögens dort nicht hingehören würden und/oder einfach den Gymer machen, weil sie sonst nichts besseres wussten. Wichtig ist dabei, grundsätzlich geeignete Jugendliche nicht aufgrund von fehlender Chancengerechtigkeit auszuschliessen.
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 |

Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
At present, however, the legal and social conditions for this are not yet in place. For example, we do not have comprehensive compulsory military service and different retirement ages. At least as long as these differences exist, a third gender entry is not feasible.
Zurzeit sind die rechtlichen und gesellschaftlichen Bedingungen dazu jedoch noch nicht gegeben. So haben wir bspw. kein umfassende Militärdienstpflicht und unterschiedliche Rentenalter. Mindestens solange diese Unterschiede bestehen, ist ein dritter Geschlechtseintrag nicht umsetzbar.
Equality between same-sex and heterosexual couples

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
In my opinion, industry-specific collective bargaining agreements are the more sensible way to meet individual industry needs and specialties.
branchenspezifische Gesamtarbeitsverträge sind mMn der sinnvollere Weg, um individuellen Brachenbedürfnissen und -spezialitäten gerecht zu werden.

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
_Excluding_ incentives simply does not work, the climate crisis is too urgent and humans as creatures of habit are too sluggish
_ausschliesslich_ Anreize funktioniert schlicht nicht, die Klimakrise ist zu dringend und der Mensch als Gewohnheitstier zu träge
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
Situation-appropriate weighing of interests is indispensable! For example, no specific interest should be defined in a law as being above all others.
situationsgerechte Interessenabwägung ist unabdingbar! Es sollte bspw. kein konkretes Interesse als über allen anderen stehend in einem Gesetz festgeschrieben werden

Incentive for restrained electricity consumption good; however, social compatibility must be ensured.

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Comment
For such a diverse, multilingual and federal Switzerland, it is indispensable that all language regions can enjoy quality journalism and that there is a minimum offer à la Service Public (e.g. also for Rhaeto-Romanic Switzerland). It is an indispensable contribution to the diversity of the media here, which is under strong pressure!
Für eine solch vielfältige, mehrsprachige und föderale Schweiz ist es unabdingbar, dass alle Sprachregionen in den Genuss von Qualitätsjournalismus kommen und ein Mindestangebot à la Service Public (z.B. auch für die rätoromanische Schweiz) existiert. Es ist ein unabdingbarer Beitrag zur hiesigen, unter starkem Druck stehenden Medienvielfalt!
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Young people are affected the longest by all of today's decisions. That's why they should have a say as early as possible. 16 years seems like a good age to me; in other areas, too, you have to take responsibility.
Junge sind am längsten von allen heutigen Entscheidungen betroffen. Deshalb sollten sie auch so früh wie nur irgendmöglich mitbestimmen können. 16 Jahre erscheint mir ein gutes Alter, auch in anderen Bereichen muss man Verantwortung

"equalize" is too crass a formulation. However, a certain redistribution from rich to poor is indispensable for social peace and overall social prosperity.

Thanks to increasing life expectancy and a good healthcare system, many employees can work longer without any problems and thus, at least temporarily, reduce the shortage of skilled workers, for example. However, a general, undifferentiated increase for all sectors would be problematic.
Dank steigender Lebenserwartung und gutem Gesundheitssystem können viele Arbeitnehmer problemlos länger arbeiten und so zumindest temporär z.B. den Fachkräftemangel etwas verringern. Eine generelle, undifferenzierte Erhöhung für alle Branchen wäre aber problematisch.
