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
The cantons should provide the same amount of funding for individual premium reductions as the federal government.
Die Kantone sollen gleich viel Mittel für die individuelle Prämienverbilligung wie der Bund zur Verfügung stellen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
The promotion of non-profit housing is the task of the cantons and municipalities. The federal government has already granted a framework credit of CHF 250 million for this purpose in 2020 as part of the "Fonds de roulement".
Die Förderung des gemeinnützigen Wohnungsbaus ist Aufgabe der Kantone und Gemeinden. Der Bund hat hierfür 2020 bereits einen Rahmenkredit von 250 Millionen Franken im Rahmen des «Fonds de roulement» gesprochen.
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
I think increasing the minimum deductible is the wrong approach. In my opinion, it should be possible to charge emergency visits for trivial matters directly.
Erhöhung der Mindestfranchise finde ich einen falschen Ansatz. M. E. müssten Notfallbesuche wegen Bagatellen direkt verrechnet werden können.
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
Health care is the responsibility of the cantons. Nevertheless, it is also important to increasingly promote intercantonal cooperation in this area, for example in hospital planning. This is the only way to further reduce healthcare costs without sacrificing quality.
Die Gesundheitsversorgung ist Sache der Kantone. Dennoch gilt es auch vermehrt die überkantonale Zusammenarbeit in diesem Bereich bspw. bei der Spitalplanung zu fördern. Nur so können wir die Gesundheitskosten weiter senken ohne Qualität einzubüssen.
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
An integrative school is to be welcomed in principle. The practice of the last years shows that the implementation is very difficult.
Eine integrative Schule ist grundsätzlich zu begrüssen. Die Praxis der letzten Jahre zeit, dass die Umsetzung grosse Schwierigkeiten bereitet.
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 requirements for the gymnasiale Matura are a matter for the cantons. However, it is important to me that vocational training continues to be given equal consideration alongside high school education and remains attractive to all.
Die Anforderungen an die gymnasiale Matura ist Sache der Kantone. Mir ist jedoch wichtig, dass neben der gymnasialen Ausbildung auch die Berufsbildung weiterhin gleiche Berücksichtigung findet und für alle atttraktiv bleibt.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Outsourcing this "problem" is not worthy of Switzerland's humanitarian tradition. However, this would have to be examined on a case-by-case basis.
Die Auslagerung dieses "Problems" ist der humanitären Tradition der Schweiz nicht würdig. Müsste im Einzelfall aber geprüft werden.
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
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
With institutions such as "Exit", the Swiss population already has access to euthanasia.
Mit den Institutionen wie "Exit" hat die chweizer Bevölkerung bereits Zugang zur Sterbehilfe
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The introduction of a third gender is associated with numerous civil law consequences in diverse areas of society. Examples are: Pension schemes, insurance, labor law, compulsory military service, etc. At this point in time, the first step is to analyze the consequences of a third gender.
Die Einführung eines Dritten Geschlechts ist verbunden mit zahlreichen zivilrechtlichen Konsequenzen in diversen Gesellschaftsbereichen. Beispiele sind: Vorsorge, Versicherungen, Arbeitsrecht, Wehrpflicht etc. Zum aktuellen Zeitpunkt gilt es darum zuerst die Folgen eines Dritten Geschlechts zu analysieren.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Due to the many additional expenditures, for example in the areas of the armed forces, childcare, etc., the current time for tax cuts is wrong.
Aufgrund der vielen Mehrausgaben beispielsweise in den Bereichen Armee, Kinderbetreuung, etc. ist der jetzige zeitpunkt für Steuersenkungen falsch.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
As a counter model, Die Mitte has launched the popular initiative for "Fair Taxes", which calls for the alternative tax calculation. With this calculation, married couples must continue to file only one tax return. However, they can benefit from the calculation method of individual taxation.
Als Gegenmodell hat Die Mitte die Volksinitiative für "Faire Steuern" lanciert, welche die alternative Steuerberechnung fordert. Mit dieser Berechnung müssen verheiratete Paare weiterhin nur eine Steuererklärung einreichten. Können jedoch von der Berechnungsmethode der Individualbesteuerung profitieren.
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
A business takeover of an SME by the descendants thus becomes, depending on the case, a financially insurmountable hurdle.
Eine Betriebsübernahme eines KMU durch die Nachkommen wird so, je nach dem, zu einer finanziell unüberbrückbaren Hürde.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Lessons must be learned from the failure of Credit Suisse. A fundamental realignment of banking and supervisory legislation is needed. This should be aimed in particular at the newly created, internationally system-relevant big bank, according to the principle: the bigger a bank, the more strongly it is regulated.
Es gilt die Lehren aus dem Scheitern der Credit Suisse zu ziehen. Es braucht eine grundlegende Neuausrichtung der Banken- und Aufsichtsgesetzgebung. Diese soll insbesondere auf die neu geschaffene, international systemrelevante Grossbank abzielen, nach dem Grundsatz: Je grösser eine Bank, desto stärker reguliert.
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
this would lead to the EW - dying. Many small EW's in the communities run their works with a lot of heart and commitment.
dies würde zum EW - Sterben führen. Viele kleine EW's in den Gemeinden führen ihre Werke mit viel Herzblut und Engagement.
Make housing construction regulations more flexible
Should housing construction regulations be relaxed (e.g., noise protection, occupancy rates)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
It seems that the market is already increasingly focusing on electromobility. In my opinion, bans are the wrong approach.
Es scheint als würde der Markt sich bereits vermehrt auf die Elektromobilität konzentrieren. Verbote sind m. E. der falsche Ansatz.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Nuclear power is still one of the most stable sources of electricity with the lowest CO2 emissions. I think the de facto research ban is wrong. However, alternative energies should now be promoted first.
Atomkraft ist nach wie vor eine der stabilsten Stromquellen mit dem kleinsten CO2 Ausstoss. Das faktische Forschungsverbot finde ich falsch. Es sollen nun aber zuerst die alterntiven Energien gefördert werden.
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
Industries with high energy requirements would thus be penalized. Other incentives to save electricity are to be created.
Industrien mit hohem Energiebedarf würden damit abgestraft. Es sollen andere Anreize zum Stromsparen geschaffen werden.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Switzerland already has one of the strictest animal protection laws in the world. Further adjustments in the area of farm animal husbandry are therefore not currently planned.
Die Schweiz hat bereits heute eines der strengsten Tierschutzgesetze der Welt. Weitere Anpassungen im Bereich der Nutztierhaltung sind daher aktuell nicht vorgesehen.
National territory available for biodiversity conservation
Should 30% of Switzerland's land area be dedicated to preserving biodiversity? [BePart question]

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

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The federal government should play a stronger role in government digitization projects in particular. E-voting, electronic patient files, or a digital debt register must be developed and implemented nationally. 26 Individual solutions in such areas are inefficient and expensive.
Gerade bei staatlichen Digitalisierungsprojekten sollte der Bund eine stärkere Rolle einnehmen. E-Voting, elektronische Patientendossiers, oder ein digitales Betreibungsregister müssen national entwickelt und umgesetzt werden. 26 Einzellösungen sind in solchen Bereichen ineffizient und teuer.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Lowering TV and radio license fees
A popular initiative aims to reduce television and radio fees (CHF 200 per household, exemption for businesses). Do you support this initiative?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Not until neutral! political education is massively increased in elementary school. Getting involved politically requires appropriate political education.
Erst wenn die neutrale! politische Ausbildung in der Grundschule massiv erhöht wird. Sich politisch zu engagieren Bedarf einer entsprechenden politischen Bildung.
Introducing an optional financial referendum against federal spending
Should it be possible to hold a referendum on federal spending above a certain amount (optional financial referendum)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Security & military
Increasing the size of the army to at least 120,000 soldiers
Are you in favor of expanding the army's target number of soldiers to at least 120,000?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Strengthening cooperation between the Swiss army and NATO
Should the Swiss Armed Forces expand their cooperation with NATO?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
I am critical of a general relaxation of the War Material Act. In current cases, such as the war of aggression in Ukraine, re-exportation should be possible.
Einer generellen Lockerung des Kriegsmaterialgesetzes stehe ich kritisch gegenüber. In aktuellen Fällen wie der Angriffskrieg in der Ukraine sollt eine Wiederausführ möglich sein.

|---|---|---|---|
Foreign trade & foreign policy
Seek closer relations with the EU
Are you in favor of closer relations with the European Union (EU)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The continuation of good bilateral relations with the EU should be promoted. However, this is subject to the condition that the protection of wage levels and social security systems is ensured in the long term.
Die Weiterführung der guten bilateralen Beziehungen zur EU soll gefördert. Dies jedoch unter der Voraussetzung, dass der Schutz des Lohnniveaus sowie der Sozialwerke nachhaltig gesichert ist.
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
The USA is an exciting trading partner for the Swiss economy. However, any free trade agreement should focus on the most important sectors such as the machine industry, pharmaceuticals, etc.
Die USA ist für die Schweizer Wirtschaft ein spannender Handelspartner. Ein allfälliges Freihandelsabkommen sollte sich jedoch auf die wichtigsten Branchen wie Maschinenindustrie, Pharma, etc. konzentrieren.
Comply with social and environmental standards

The population is getting older and there is a shortage of skilled workers. In my opinion, however, the retirement age should be flexible.
