Comment
In obedience to necessity ...
Der Not gehorchend ...

|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Addressing causes of rising health care costs.
Ursachen für die Verteuerung des Gesundheitswesens bekämpfen.
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
Emergency law should be limited to the most extraordinary situations. If something has been learned from the Covid19 pandemic, there will be no need for further government measures in the future.
Das Notrecht ist auf ausserordentlichste Situationen zu beschränken. Wenn aus der Covid19-Pandemie etwas gelernt wurde, braucht es in Zukunft keine weitergehende staatliche Massnahmen mehr.

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
No further weakening of federal structures.
Keine weitere Schwächung der föderalistischen Strukturen.
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
Integration was and is completely wrong. It makes sense to provide support for specific target groups. In this way, deficits can be targeted and minimized or eliminated. When the deficits are eliminated, the children are integrated into the standard classes. To each his own, not to all the same!
Die Integration war und ist völlig falsch. Sinnvoll ist eine zielgruppengerechte Förderung. So können Defizite gezielt angegangen und minimiert oder eliminiert werden. Wenn die Defizite , behoben sind, erfolgt eine Eingliederung in die Normklassen. Jedem das Seine, nicht allen das Gleiche!
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
Only by increasing the requirements can further academization be slowed down. Switzerland should and may continue to be proud of its dual education system.
Nur mit einer Erhöhung der Anforderungen kann eine weitere Akademisierung gebremst werden. Die Schweiz soll und darf weiterhin stolz auf das duale Bildungssystem sein.
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
Every child in Switzerland has the right to a basic education, and those who are willing to be educated make their way regardless of their parents' income! There is often a lack of understanding that not everyone is willing to be educated!
Jedes Kind in der Schweiz hat das Recht auf eine schulische Grund(aus)bildung, und Bildungswillige machen ihren Weg unabhängig vom Einkommen der Eltern! Es fehlt oft die Einsicht, dass eben nicht alle bildungswillig sind!
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
For what reason?
Aus welchem Grund?
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
When the realization finally comes that eternal quantitative growth is an illusion, there will be no need for more qualified workers from abroad.
Wenn endlich die Einsicht kommt, dass das ewige quantitative Wachstum eine Illusion ist, braucht es keine weiteren qualifizierten Arbeitskräfte aus dem Ausland.
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
This is the only way to (more likely) ensure that these people return to their country when the situation on the ground has changed accordingly. Otherwise, most (professionally qualified) asylum seekers will be absent from the reconstruction of their country. Do not forget: The poorest of the poor have no possibility to flee at all!
Nur so kann (eher) sichergestellt werden, dass diese Leute in ihr Land zurückkehren, wenn sich die Situation vor Ort entsprechend geändert hat. Die meisten (beruflich qualifizierten) Asylsuchenden fehlen sonst beim Wiederaufbau ihres Landes. Nicht vergessen: Die Ärmsten der Armen haben gar keine Möglichkeit zur Flucht!
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?

Comment
And when will the fourth, fifth ... follow?
Und wann folgt dann das vierte, fünfte ...?
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Yes, as long as there are no natural conditions that make equality impossible: Same-sex couples cannot have children and children are entitled to a mother and a father.
Ja, solange es keine natürlichen Gegebenheiten gibt, welche eine Gleichstellung verunmöglichen: Gleichgeschlechtliche Paare können keine Kinder bekommen und Kinder haben Anrecht auf eine Mutter und einen Vater.
Finances & taxes

Im Gegenteil: Vermögenssteuer abschaffen!
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
Financially weak cantons must be held to use the subsidies in a budgetary manner. Why does the recipient canton Bern have a more "feudal" subsidy system for external childcare than the donor canton Zurich?
Finanzschwache Kantone müssen gehalten werden, die Zuschüsse haushälterisch einzusetzen. Weshalb hat der Nehmer-Kanton Bern ein "feudaleres" Subventions-System bei der externen Kinderbetreuung als der Geber-Kanton Zürich?
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?

This does not make sense, if only because of the different price-cost structures in Switzerland.

Do not tie the problem of passing on war material from Switzerland to individual cases, but delete the ban on resale in the law. Who wants to control that.
