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

Incomes and living costs differ too widely from one canton to another.

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
This sector is so important to the rest of the economy that it needs to be better regulated. On the other hand, there is no reason to ban bonuses in this sector alone.
Ce secteur présente une telle importance pour le reste de l'économie qu'il faut en conséquence mieux le réguler. En revanche, il n'y a pas de raison d'interdire les bonus à ce seul secteur.
Liberalizzare completamente il mercato dell'elettricità

Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?

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
Energy supply is currently the priority. But by controlling population growth, we can easily reconcile energy production with the environment and landscape protection without having to make this trade-off.
La priorité est actuellement à la fourniture d'énergie. Mais en contrôlant la croissance démographique on peut facilement concilier la production d'énergie avec l'environnement et la protection du paysage sans avoir à effectuer cet arbitrage.
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
It's CO2-neutral and climate-independent. On the other hand, if we limit population growth, we probably won't even need to build a new power plant.
Il s'agit d'une énergie neutre en CO2 et qui ne dépend pas du climat. En revanche, si on limite la croissance démographique, construire une nouvelle centrale n'est probablement même pas nécessaire.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|

These regions are as much a part of the country as any other, and therefore entitled to the same services.
Ces régions font partie du pays au même titre que les autres et ont donc droit aux mêmes services.
Introduce progressive electricity tariffs
Would you be in favor of the introduction of increasing electricity tariffs when consumption is higher (progressive electricity tariffs)?

This will penalize certain energy-intensive sectors of the economy, encouraging them to turn to fossil fuels.
Cela va pénaliser certains secteurs économiques grands consommateurs d'énergie et les encourager à se tourner vers les énergies fossiles.

Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Direct payments should be used to secure local food production rather than to create new ecological services.

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
Farming conditions in Switzerland are very good, and most farmers continue to improve their facilities. On the other hand, we need to be tougher on the minority who fail to comply with the minimum requirements.
Les conditions de l'élevage en Suisse sont très bonne et la plupart des agriculteurs continuent d'améliorer leurs installations. Il faut en revanche se montrer plus sévère envers la minorité qui ne respecte pas les prescriptions minimum.
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
The country is too densely populated for such a figure to be achieved. This would be to the detriment of food and energy production.

Cela doit rester entièrement de la responsabilité des cantons de gérer leurs services étatique.
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
On the other hand, this must not lead to restrictions on their use by the public, or to censorship. Freedom of expression must be guaranteed.
Cela ne doit en revanche pas se traduire par une restriction de leur utilisation par la population ou une censure. La liberté d'expression doit être garantie.
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?

|---|---|---|---|
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Comment
There is no ideal age. So we might as well leave the right to vote linked to civil majority.

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)?

Seek a comprehensive free trade agreement with the United States
Should Switzerland strive for a comprehensive free trade agreement (including agriculture) with the USA?

Return to a strict interpretation of neutrality
Should Switzerland return to a strict interpretation of neutrality (renounce economic sanctions to a large extent)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
