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 placing an increasing burden on people with low and medium incomes. It is important to provide additional social compensation here.
Krankenkassenprämien belasten Menschen mit tiefen und mittleren Einkommen immer stärker. Es ist wichtig, hier für zusätzlichen sozialen Ausgleich zu sorgen.
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 also puts marriage in a better position than other life models, which I reject. However, the lifting of the ceiling could be one piece of the puzzle among many in an overall revision of the rights and obligations in connection with marital status.
Die Aufhebung der Plafonierung stellt die Ehe zusätzlich besser gegenüber anderen Lebensmodellen, was ich ablehne. 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 with small pension assets, especially women.
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
I support equal parental leave for both parents, provided both are employed (instead of maternity and paternity leave).
Ich befürworte 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
High rents are a burden for many people. Non-profit housing developers can play a significant role in creating affordable, attractive and sustainable housing. This is demonstrated by tens of good examples in various communities.
Hohe Mieten sind für viele Menschen eine Belastung. Gemeinnützige Wohnbauträger können bei der Schaffung von preiswertem, attraktivem und nachhaltigem Wohnraum eine bedeutende Rolle spielen. Das zeigen zig gute Beispiele in verschiedenen Gemeinden.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Most people already pay enough towards healthcare costs via high health insurance premiums. This burden should not increase further. On the other hand, I can imagine very targeted incentives: for example, a low flat-rate amount that would be due for an emergency visit in any case. This would create an incentive to see the family doctor first in minor cases.
Die meisten Menschen bezahlen via hohe Krankenkassenprämien bereits genug an die Gesundheitskosten. Diese Belastung sollte nicht noch zusätzlich steigen. Vorstellen kann ich mir hingegen sehr gezielt gesetzte Anreize: beispielsweise ein tiefer Pauschalbetrag, der für den Besuch des Notfalls in jedem Fall fällig wäre. Dies würde Anreize setzen, in Bagatellfällen zuerst den Hausarzt oder die Hausärztin aufzusuchen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Targeted national coordination of hospital supply could help contain costs without sacrificing quality of care.
Eine zielgerichtete nationale Koordination des Spitalangebots könnte zu einer Kostendämpfung beitragen, ohne dass die Qualität der Versorgung leidet.
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
I support the integrative school. However, this must be geared to the individual needs of the children; it must not be a matter of "integration at any price". In addition, teachers must have the necessary time resources available.
Ich unterstütze die integrative Schule. Diese muss aber auf die individuellen Bedürfnisse der Kinder ausgerichtet sein; es darf sich nicht um "Integration um jeden Preis" handeln. Zudem müssen die Lehrkräfte die nötigen Zeitressourcen zur Verfügung haben.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Society & ethics

Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]

Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Anyone who works and thus contributes something to our society is taxed quite heavily today. Those who inherit, on the other hand, pay hardly any taxes. This is despite the fact that he or she has done nothing, but has simply been "lucky". I am therefore clearly in favor of an inheritance tax from 1 million and would reduce income taxes for all to the same extent.
Wer arbeitet und damit etwas leistet für unsere Gesellschaft, wird heute recht stark besteuert. Wer erbt, zahlt hingegen kaum Steuern. Dies, obwohl er oder sie nichts geleistet hat, sondern einfach "Glück gehabt" hat. Ich bin darum klar für eine Erbschaftssteuer ab 1 Mio. und würde dafür die Einkommenssteuern für alle im gleichen Umfang senken.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Anyone who works 100% should earn enough to live a dignified life. I am therefore in favor of a minimum wage, which should be differentiated regionally and industry-specific. Furthermore, exceptions are needed (internships, 2nd labor market, etc.). Economic studies show possible positive economic effects: Minimum wages hardly lead to job losses and can even create new jobs because people can consume more thanks to the higher wage.
Wer 100% arbeitet, sollte genug verdienen, um ein würdiges Leben zu führen. Ich bin darum für einen Mindestlohn, den man regional und branchenspezifisch differenzieren sollte. Ausserdem braucht es Ausnahmen (Praktika, 2. Arbeitsmarkt, etc.). Ökonomische Studien zeigen mögliche positive volkswirtschaftlichen Effekte: Mindestlöhne führen kaum zu Arbeitsplatzverlusten und können sogar neue Stellen schaffen, weil die Menschen dank dem höherem Lohn mehr konsumieren 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
The noise protection regulations are in need of revision. I am cautious about further relaxation: the quality of living should remain high, because "being able to live well" is crucial for the quality of life.
Die Lärmschutzvorschriften sind revisionsbedürftig. Bei weiteren Lockerungen bin ich zurückhaltend: die Wohnqualität soll weiterhin hoch sein, denn "gut wohnen können" ist entscheidend für die Lebensqualität.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Where it makes sense and has political majority support, I prefer incentives and target agreements. Sometimes only a ban is capable of gaining majority support - in which case I prefer to act to protect the climate rather than do nothing, because the climate crisis is an existential threat. Moreover, there are situations in which bans make sense from my point of view (e.g. for the registration of new passenger cars from 2035).
Wo es sinnvoll und politisch mehrheitsfähig ist, bevorzuge ich Anreize und Zielvereinbarungen. Manchmal ist nur ein Verbot mehrheitsfähig - dann ziehe ich es vor, für den Klimaschutz zu handeln, anstatt nichts zu tun, denn die Klimakrise ist eine existenzielle Bedrohung. Zudem gibt es Situationen, in denen Verbote aus meiner Sicht Sinn machen (bspw. bei der Neuzulassung von Personenwagen ab 2035).
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 |

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 |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
It depends on the design (Green power vs. dirty power, guarantee of social compatibility, etc.). In principle, I am in favor of such an incentive.
Es kommt auf die Ausgestaltung an (Grüner Strom vs. Dreckstrom, Gewährleistung der Sozialverträglichkeit etc.). Grundsätzlich befürworte ich einen solchen Anreiz.
Nature conservation
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)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Healthy soil and intact biodiversity are the basis of any sustainable agriculture. That's why we need to protect both. At the same time, we must take care of our hard-working farming families: they need a sufficient transition period before such a regulation comes into force to allow them to adapt.
Ein gesunder Boden und eine intakte Artenvielfalt sind die Basis jeder nachhaltigen Landwirtschaft. Darum müssen wir beides schützen. Gleichzeitig müssen wir Sorge tragen zu unseren hart arbeitenden Bauernfamilien: sie brauchen eine ausreichende Übergangsfrist, bevor eine solche Regelung in Kraft tritt, damit sie sich anpassen können.
Introduction of stricter rules on the protection of farm animals
Are you in favour of stricter animal welfare regulations for livestock (e.g. permanent access to outdoor areas)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
More sustainable use of electronic devices
Are you in favour of government measures to make the use of electronic devices more sustainable (e.g., right to repair, extension of warranty period, minimum guaranteed period for software updates)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Such and other binding framework conditions are very important for the transformation towards a Green Economy. They change the "rules of the game" in the direction that companies have incentives to produce the most durable devices possible, and behaviors like "planned obsolence" will hopefully soon be a thing of the past.
Solche und weitere verbindliche Rahmenbedingungen sind sehr wichtig für die Transformation hin zu einer Grünen Wirtschaft. Sie ändern die "Spielregeln" in die Richtung, dass Unternehmen Anreize für die Produktion möglichst langlebiger Geräte haben und Verhaltensweisen wie "Planned Obsolence" hoffentlich bald der Vergangenheit angehören.
Democracy, Media & Digitization
Mobile phone network (5G)
Should the Swiss mobile network be equipped throughout the country with the latest technology (currently 5G standard)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Digitizing public services
Should the federal government be given additional powers in the area of digitization of government services in order to be able to impose binding directives and standards on the cantons?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Today, the major Internet platforms are central to democratic opinion-forming. At the same time, there is a tendency toward natural monopolies in these markets, which is why they have an enormous amount of market power. The state must correct the market failure here with the right regulations and protect the public interest in a functioning media landscape.
Die grossen Internetplattformen sind heute zentral für die demokratische Meinungsbildung. Gleichzeitig besteht in diesen Märkten eine Tendenz zu natürlichen Monopolen, weshalb sie über enorm viel Marktmacht verfügen. Der Staat muss hier mit den richtigen Regulierungen das Marktversagen beheben und das öffentliche Interesse an einer funktionierenden Medienlandschaft schützen.

Are you in favor of expanding the army's target number of soldiers to at least 120,000?

Strengthening cooperation between the Swiss army and NATO

Re-export of Swiss weapons
Should the Federal Council be allowed to authorize other states to re-export Swiss weapons in cases of a war of aggression in violation of international law (e.g., the attack on Ukraine)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
There is no neutrality towards breaches of international law. Even neutral states should support the attacked state in this case. A country should be able to defend itself by all means against an aggressor - otherwise we are threatened with a world order according to "the law of the strongest".
Gegenüber Völkerrechtsbrüchen gibt es keine Neutralität. Auch neutrale Staaten sollen in diesem Fall den angegriffenen Staat unterstützen. Ein Land soll sich mit allen Mitteln gegen einen Aggressor verteidigen können - sonst droht uns eine Weltordnung nach "dem Recht des Stärkeren".

Are you in favor of closer relations with the European Union (EU)?

Seek a comprehensive free trade agreement with the United States
Should Switzerland strive for a comprehensive free trade agreement (including agriculture) with the USA?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In principle, I am in favor of free trade. However, the participating nations must be able to retain social and ecological protection regulations that correspond to their social consensus. The USA has very critical environmental protection regulations, especially in agriculture, which are not compatible with Swiss values (especially with regard to genetic engineering products). Therefore, I reject free trade with the USA in this area.
Ich stehe grundsätzlich positiv zum Freihandel. Die beteiligten Nationen müssen aber soziale und ökologische Schutzvorschriften behalten können, die ihrem gesellschaftlichen Konsens entsprechen. Die USA haben sehr kritische Umweltschutzvorschriften, besonders in der Landwirtschaft, die nicht mit der Schweizer Werthaltung kompatibel sind (insb. bezüglich Gentech-Produkten). Darum lehne ich Freihandel mit den USA in diesem Bereich ab.

Comment
For a market economy to function well, there needs to be competitive competition, information for market participants that is as complete as possible and, in particular, effective rules to prevent external costs (e.g. environmental pollution). This does not work with a "laissez-faire" attitude, but only with a strong state that enforces the rules. Everyone can benefit from such a market economy if the state provides a fair social balance.
Damit eine Marktwirtschaft gut funktioniert, braucht es kompetitiven Wettbewerb, möglichst vollständige Information der Marktteilnehmenden und ganz besonders griffige Regeln, um externe Kosten zu verhindern (bspw. Umweltverschmutzung). Das funktioniert nicht mit einer "Laissez-faire"-Haltung, sondern nur mit einem starken Staat, der die Regeln durchsetzt. Von solch einer Marktwirtschaft können alle profitieren, wenn der Staat ergänzend für einen gerechten sozialen Ausgleich sorgt.

Comment
For me, it is not a matter of complete compensation, but above all of enabling all people to live in dignity. Especially those who have had little luck in life. I think it's right that people with a lot of income and wealth should contribute a correspondingly large share to financing the state.
Dabei geht es für mich nicht um einen vollständigen Ausgleich, sondern vor allem darum, allen Menschen ein Leben in Würde zu ermöglichen. Besonders auch jenen, die im Leben wenig Glück hatten. Ich finde es richtig, dass Menschen mit viel Einkommen und Vermögen einen entsprechend grossen Anteil zur Finanzierung des Staats beitragen.

A healthy environment is the basis for our society and our economy. If we damage the natural foundations of our lives, this will also harm our economy in the long term. I am convinced that a healthy environment and a healthy economy can go hand in hand. In addition, for me the improvement of the quality of life is most important; GDP, which is measured purely quantitatively, is not a suitable yardstick for this.
Eine gesunde Umwelt ist die Grundlage für unsere Gesellschaft und unsere Wirtschaft. Wenn wir unsere natürlichen Lebensgrundlagen schädigen, schadet das auf Dauer auch unserer Wirtschaft. Ich bin überzeugt, dass eine gesunde Umwelt und eine gesunde Wirtschaft Hand in Hand gehen können. Ausserdem ist für mich vor allem die Verbesserung der Lebensqualität wichtig; das rein quantitativ messende BIP ist dafür kein geeigneter Gradmesser.

Comment
In the short term, this is not a priority for me. In the medium term, it may make sense to raise the retirement age for low-strain occupations (e.g. office work) to 66, as life expectancy has also increased significantly since the introduction of the AHV. People in physically demanding occupations, e.g. construction or nursing, should continue to be able to retire earlier.
Kurzfristig hat das für mich keine Priorität. Mittelfristig kann es sinnvoll sein, das Rentenalter für wenig belastende Berufe (z. B. Bürotätigkeiten) auf 66 Jahre zu erhöhen, da auch die Lebenserwartung seit Einführung der AHV deutlich zugenommen hat. Menschen, die körperlich belastende Berufe z. B. auf dem Bau oder in der Pflege ausüben, sollten weiterhin früher pensioniert werden können.
