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
Ich selber lebe im Konkubinat. Dies hat Vorteile, aber auch Nachteile (bei vielen Pensionskassen und Versicherungen). Im Rahmen einer Gesamtrevision rund um das Thema Zivilstand sollten die Rechte und Pflichten über alle Partnerschaftsformen hinweg vereinheitlicht werden.
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
Es findet in der zweiten Säule eine ungesunde Verteilung von finanziellen Mitteln von den Jungen zu den Alten sowie von Personen mit kleinem Vorsorgevermögen zu Personen mit grösserem Vorsorgevermögen statt. Mit der Senkung des Mindestumwandlungssatzes verringert sich die jährliche BVG-Rente.
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 |

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
Im Notfall einer Pandemie müssen Kantone und Staat rasch und proaktiv handeln können. Das Korrektiv durch das Parlament funktioniert, wenn auch mit etwas Verspätung.

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Dazu wird mehr Personal in den Schulklassen benötigt, damit auf individuelle Bedürfnisse der Kinder eingegangen werden kann. Das Konzept der Integration ist gut. Die Umsetzung muss durch genügend Lehrpersonen sicher gestellt werden.

Should the federal government raise the requirements for the gymnasiale matura?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Eine kantonsübergreifende Vereinheitlichung des Niveaus ist zu begrüssen. Eine Erhöhung im Vergleich zu heute nicht.

Wobei es sehr auf die Ausgestaltung ankommt. Welche anderen Steuern werden dafür gesenkt? Wer profitiert konkret davon, wenn eine Erbschaftssteuer eingeführt wird? Wie wird der kantonale Lastenausgleich dabei angepasst?
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
Dieses Thema ist bei der OECD-Mindestbesteuerung und der Verteilung der zusätzlichen Einnahmen relevant. Die GLP hatte bei dieser Reform eine 50/50 Verteilung zwischen Bund und Kantonen befürwortet. Die angenommene Vorlage sieht vor, dass 75% der Einnahmen an den Kanton fliesst, in dem das Unternehmen seinen Sitz hat.

Generelle Einführung des Mindestlohns "Nein". Die wirkungsvolle Kontrollen und Sanktionen bei Missbrauchsfällen ganz klar "JA".

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
Der Zeitpunkt dafür ist heute noch nicht gekommen. Es braucht von allen Akteuren im Energie- und Strommarkt eine geeinigte Vorstellung des Strommarktdesigns. Mittelfristig wird eine vollständige Strommarktliberalisierung mehrere Vorteile bieten: Freie Anbieterwahl, Wahl von Stromprodukten nach persönlichen Präferenzen, integrale Beratung durch die Energieversorger vom Stromverbrauch über Photovoltaikanlagen bis zur Gebäudeisolation und E-Mobilität ("alles aus einer Hand").
Make housing construction regulations more flexible
Should housing construction regulations be relaxed (e.g., noise protection, occupancy rates)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Should Switzerland ban the registration of new passenger cars with internal combustion engines starting in 2035?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Der motorisierte Individualverkehr benötigt heute zu viel fossile Energie und produziert zu viel CO2. Verbrennungsmotoren sind nicht effizient, viel Energie verpufft in Form von Wärme. Elektromotoren sind bedeutend effizienter. Und Elektroautos bieten mehr Fahrfreude und Konfort.
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
Im Grundsatz mit Anreizen und Zielvorgaben arbeiten. Aber: Ein Verbot hat den Vorteil, dass es für alle genau gleich gilt. Ein Verbot schafft Planungssicherheit. Siehe dazu mein glasklares "JA" zur vorherigen Frage, ob die Neuzulassung von Personenwagen mit Verbrennungsmotoren verboten werden soll.

Ensure a comprehensive range of public services
Should the state guarantee a comprehensive public service offering also in rural regions?

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 |

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Bei Marktversagen fordert die GLP eine konsequente Anwendung des Kartellgesetzes. Eine Regulierung auf Vorrat, die sich negativ auswirken kann (z.B. Innovationshemmnis, Verhinderung von innovativen, digitalen Geschäftsmodellen), lehnt die GLP ab.

Die staatlichen Polizei- und Anti-Terrorgesetze sind heute aus meiner Sicht zu bevölkerungsfeindlich und zu staatsfreundlich ausgestaltet. Es fehlen Ombusstellen, damit sich Opfer von (ungerechtfertigter) polizeilicher Gewalt beraten lassen können.

Wirtschaft und Lebensgrundlagen gehen zusammen und bedingen einander. Eine gesunde Umwelt führt zu einer gesunden Wirtschaft und umgekehrt. Biodiversität, gesunde Landwirtschaft und ein hoher Selbstversorgungsgrad als Basis für erfolgreiches wirtschaftlichen Handeln.

Die Altersvorsorge gerät durch den demografischen Wandel ins Ungleichgewicht. Die GLP verfolgt das Ziel, die Umverteilung von aktiven Arbeitnehmenden zu Rentner:innen zu reduzieren und zugleich das Rentenniveau möglichst zu erhalten. Dafür ist eine Flexibilisierung des Rentenalters unter Berücksichtigung der verschiedenen Branchen nötig.
