| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |

| 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Up to a certain extent, this is possible, but at some point the system is exhausted. It is also very resource-dependent. Small classes would have to be reintroduced.
Bis zu einem gewissen Mass geht das, aber irgendwann ist das System ausgereizt. Zudem ist es sehr Ressourcen-abhängig. Kleinklassen müssten wieder eingeführt werden.
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
The question is unclearly formulated. The requirements for transfer to the Gymnasium would have to be increased so that weak students do not even go through the Gymizeit, but complete an apprenticeship and make the Matura possibly on the 2nd educational path.
Die Frage ist unklar formuliert. Die Anforderungen für den Übertritt ins Gymnasium müssten erhöht werden, damit schwache Schüler schon gar nicht die Gymizeit durchlaufen, sondern eine Lehre absolvieren und die Matur eventuell auf dem 2. Bildungsweg machen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
You don't solve problems by handing out money. In principle, children have the same educational opportunities at school. Weak children are already being supported.
Mit Geldverteilen löst man keine Probleme. Die Kinder haben in der Schule prinzipiell die gleichen Bildungschancen. Schwache Kinder werden schon jetzt gefördert.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
These people are then missing in their countries of origin, where they are more urgently needed than here.
Diese Leute fehlen dann in ihren Herkunftsländern, wo sie dringender gebraucht werden als bei uns.
Asylum procedures outside Europe
Do you support efforts to house asylum seekers in centers outside Europe during the asylum procedure?

|---|---|---|---|
Authorize active euthanasia
Would you be in favour of doctors being allowed to administer direct active euthanasia in Switzerland?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Basically open, however, is to be considered in all consequences. Perhaps one would have to think more about the life-prolonging measures.
Grundsätzlich offen, ist in allen Konsequenzen jedoch zu überlegen. Vielleicht müsste man sich eher über die lebensverlängernden Massnahmen Gedanken machen.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?

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
I am against a national inheritance tax. That should be or remain a matter for the municipality.
Ich bin gegen eine nationale Erbschaftssteuer. Das soll Sache der Gemeinde sein oder bleiben.
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 |

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
Climate protection clashes with environmental protection!
Klimaschutz beisst sich mit Umweltschutz!

|---|---|---|---|

|---|---|---|---|
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
The fairest thing would be for the price to be the same no matter how much electricity you use. That is why I am in favor of the expansion of nuclear power plants (cheap band electricity).
Am fairsten wäre es, der Preis wäre immer der gleiche, egal wie viel Strom man verbraucht. Darum bin ich für den Ausbau von AKW (günstiger Bandstrom).
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 |

Comment
It must be possible to regulate populations (as is the case with red deer, for example).
Die Bestände müssen reguliert werden können (wie beispielsweise beim Rotwild auch).
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The problem lies more with direct payments. For example, one should sell the liter of milk more expensively instead of subsidizing the milk.
Das Problem liegt eher bei den Direktzahlungen. Man sollte beispielsweise den Liter Milch teurer verkaufen, anstatt die Milch zu subventionieren.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In principle, we already have a very strict animal welfare law and the farmers do a lot for their animals. There are always black sheep.
Prinzipiell haben wir schon ein sehr strenges Tierschutzgesetz und die Bauern machen viel für ihre Tiere. Schwarze Schafe gibt es immer.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
As long as our food security is guaranteed and not everything is concreted over by wind turbines, I am not against more biodiversity areas. Immigration must also finally be limited, because it is the greatest threat to biodiversity!
Solange unsere Nahrungssicherheit gewährleistet ist und nicht alles durch Windkraftanlagen zubetoniert wird, bin ich nicht gegen mehr Biodiversitätsflächen. Auch die Zuwanderung muss endlich begrenzt werden, denn sie ist die grösste Gefahr der Biodiversität!
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
Certain plastics are simply needed in industry and also in food processing. Bans are usually not the solution to problems. Ultimately, it is up to the consumer!
Gewisse Kunststoffe braucht es in der Industrie und auch in der Lebensmittelverarbeitung einfach. Verbote sind meist nicht die Lösung von Problemen. Schlussendlich hat es der Konsument in der Hand!
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
These examples in the question will hardly achieve anything. People have to learn to rethink, not to afford a new cell phone every year, etc. (throwaway society).
Mit diesen Beispielen in der Frage wird man kaum etwas erreichen. Die Leute müssen umdenken lernen, sich nicht jedes Jahr ein neues Handy leisten etc. (Thema Wegwerfgesellschaft).

Growth is limited. Resources are finite, and for this reason alone we cannot do without environmental protection.

Expenditure on migration must be cut significantly. It cannot be that our elderly have to turn over every centime and the migrants can hold out their hollow hand.
