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
This does not solve the problem of premiums. In my opinion, it would be more important not to let the health care system rest on a capitalist system.
Das löst das Problem der Prämien nicht. Wichtiger wäre meiner Meinung nach, das Krankheitswesen nicht auf einem kapitalistischen System ruhen zu lassen.
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
But I know too little in this area.
Kenne mich aber in diesem Gebiet zu wenig aus.
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
In Europe, we are quite "backward" in terms of parental leave. Expanding this system means that daycare places do not have to be paid for within the first few months and can strengthen the parent-child bond. Potentially, this could be valuable for the psychological development of the child and prevent later psychological problems.
In Europa sind wir bezüglich des Elternschafturlaubs recht "rückständig". Durch das Ausbauen dieses Systems müssen Kita-Plätze innerhalb der ersten Monate nicht bezahlt werden und kann die Eltern-Kind-Bindung stärken. Möglicherweise könnte dies für die psychologische Entwicklung des Kindes wertvoll sein und spätere psychische Probleme verhindern.
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
A vaccination schedule seems useful because it can prevent some diseases. However, doctors should inform about advantages and disadvantages. In exceptional cases, it should be possible to waive the vaccinations (doctor's certificate required).
Ein Impfplan erscheint sinnvoll, da es einige Krankheiten verhindern kann. Ärzte sollen aber über Vor- und Nachteile informieren. In ausserordentlichen Fällen soll auf die Impfungen verzichtet werden können (Arztzeugnis erforderlich)
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Sugar is not good - we already know that. But a tax on these foods does not seem to me to be the right way; because if it were to replace sugar with sweeteners, that would also be the wrong way to go.
Zucker ist nicht gut - das wissen wir bereits. Aber eine Steuer auf diese Lebensmittel scheint mir nicht der richtige Weg; denn würde der Zucker dadurch durch Süssstoffe ersetzt, wäre dies auch der falsche Weg.
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
Better to tie it to conditions; if someone smokes or drinks regularly (and it is evident within the medical examinations) should pay more than someone who does not.
Lieber an Konditionen knüpfen; raucht oder trinkt jemand regelmässig (und es ist innerhalb der ärztlichen Untersuchungen ersichtlich) sollte mehr bezahlen, als jemand der dies nicht tut.
Limit the powers of the Federal Council in the event of a pandemic

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
It can be very frustrating for children with learning difficulties if the child learns less quickly than the others. However, if there is a gray area, children should always be sent to the regular class first.
Es kann für Kinder mit Lernschwierigkeiten sehr frustrierend sein, wenn das Kind weniger schnell lernt als die anderen. Bei einem Graubereich soll man die Kinder aber immer zuerst in die reguläre Klasse schicken.
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
There are too many students - in addition, it would be important to make apprenticeships more attractive and to show development opportunities, e.g. after an apprenticeship as a gardener.
Es studieren zu viele - zusätzlich wäre es wichtig, dass man Ausbildungen attraktiver macht und Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten z.B. nach einer Lehre Gärtner EFZ aufzeigt.

|---|---|---|---|
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
Shall be considered individually. Children already born/raised in Switzerland should have a simplified version. In the case of an educational qualification in Switzerland, this should also give a concession.
Soll individuell betrachtet werden. Kinder, die bereits in der Schweiz geboren/ aufgewachsen sind sollten eine vereinfachte Version haben. Bei einem Ausbildungsabschluss in der Schweiz sollte dies auch eine Vergünstigung geben.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Yes, then you can check in advance from which areas refugees are accepted (can focus on trouble spots for example war zones). People who flee because of religious persecution, for example, should of course still be accepted.
Ja, dann kann man schon im Vorhinein überprüfen, aus welchen Gegenden Flüchtlinge aufgenommen werden (kann sich auf Krisenherde beispielsweise Kriegsgebiete) fokussieren. Personen, die beispielsweise wegen religiöser Verfolgung flüchten, sollten natürlich trotzdem aufgenommen werden.

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
As far as I understand, cross-subsidization exists; that's why it also works more or less dynamically in Switzerland.
Soweit ich verstanden habe, existiert eine Quersubventionierung; deshalb funktioniert es in der Schweiz auch mehr oder weniger dynamisch.

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
What will be exciting here is the implementation. Certain things will still make more sense in single-use plastic; the question is how much of this is really needed.
Spannend wird es hier bei der Umsetzung. Gewisses wird im Einwegplastik immer noch sinnvoller sein; die Frage ist, wieviel es hiervon dann wirklich braucht.

Of course, we are currently in a difficult situation with regard to pensions. At the moment, many workers are reaching retirement age - of course, this puts a strain on the system. Last year, for example, this was noticeable in the number of pension applications. But also more pensions than usual have been terminated (i.e. more people have died). Yes, more people are retiring - but you also have to consider the demographic characteristics (e.g. average life expectancy).
Natürlich sind wir momentan bezüglich der Rente in einer schwierigen Situation. Im Moment kommen viele Arbeitende in das Rentenalter - natürlich belastet dies das System. Im letzten Jahr hat man dies beispielsweise aufgrund der Rentenanmeldungen gemerkt. Aber es sind auch mehr Renten als sonst in Abgang gegangen (das heisst, mehr Leute sind gestorben). Ja, mehr Leute gehen in die Rente - aber man muss auch die demografischen Merkmale (z.B. die durchschnittliche Lebenserwartung) beachten.
