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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
It is especially important that no married couple has to divorce for financial reasons in old age.
Wichtig ist v,a., dass kein Ehepaar sich im Alter aus finanziellen Gründen scheiden lassen muss.
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
Not as an isolated measure. Because otherwise our pensioners (not all of whom are well-off) will lose too much purchasing power. A pension reduction in the pension funds must be compensated for in another way - e.g. by a 13th AHV monthly pension.
Nicht als isolierte Massnahme. Denn sonst verlieren unsere Rentnerinnen und Rentner (nicht alle sind wohlbetucht) zu viel Kaufkraft. Ein Rentenabbau bei den Pensionskassen muss anderweitig kompensiert werden - z.B. durch eine 13. AHV-Monatsrente.
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
Compared to the rest of Europe, the services here - and in family policy in general - are very stingy.
Im europäischen Vergleich sind da die Leistungen da - und in der Familienpolitik allgemein - sehr knausrig.
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
More and more people are suffering from rising rents. Promoting non-profit housing is a particularly sensible measure to ensure that there will still be affordable housing in the future.
Immer mehr Menschen leiden unter steigenden Mietpreisen. Die Förderung von gemeinnützigem Wohnungsbau ist eine besonders sinnvolle Massnahme, um dafür zu sorgen, dass es auch in Zukunft noch bezahlbaren Wohnraum gibt.
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
In principle, it would make sense to have all children vaccinated at school for the important vaccinations.
Grundsätzlich wäre es sinnvoll, für die wichtigen Impfungen alle Kinder in der Schule impfen zu lassen.
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
Preventive health care is important. But more and more levies are not effective, bring with them a lot of bureaucracy and place an above-average burden on people with small and medium incomes.
Gesundheitsprävention ist wichtig. Aber immer mehr Abgaben sind nicht zielführend, bringen viel Bürokratie mit sich und belasten Menschen mit kleinen und mittleren Einkommen überdurchschnittlich.
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
Health care costs are rising for many reasons. It is true that some people go to the family doctor or even to an emergency for every little thing. But if you simply increase the deductibles, this will lead to the fact that some people who urgently need to see a doctor will not do so.
Die Gesundheitskosten steigen aus vielen Gründen. Es stimmt schon, dass manche wegen jeder Kleinigkeit zur Hausärztin / zum Hausarzt oder gar zum Notfall gehen. Aber wenn man einfach die Franchisen erhöht, wird das dazu führen, dass manche, die es dringend nötig hätten, keinen Arzt / keine Ärztin aufsuchen.
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
Federal Councilor Alain Beset acted brilliantly during the crisis despite strong opposition.
Bundesrat Alain Beset hat in der Krise trotz starker Widerstände hervorragend gehandelt.
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
Absolutely! This would be an overdue step to reduce healthcare costs in the medium to long term. In the Basel region in particular, we have an expensive oversupply due to competition and cantonalism.
Unbedingt! Das wäre ein überfälliger Schritt, um die Gesundheitskosten mittel- bis langfristig zu senken. Gerade in der Region Basel haben wir wegen Wettbewerb und Kantönligeist ein teures Überangebot.
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
Unfortunately, it has been shown in practice that the idea of an inclusive school implemented 1:1 does not work and overwhelms everyone. It would make sense to teach children and adolescents with special needs separately in some subjects - and in others (e.g. sports, music, etc.) together with the children of the regular classes (with the necessary special education resources).
Leider hat sich in der Praxis gezeigt, dass die Idee der integrativen Schule 1:1 umgesetzt nicht funktioniert und alle überfordert. Sinnvoll wäre, Kinder und Jugendlichen mit besonderem Unterstützungsbedarf in einigen Fächern separat unterrichtet werden - und in anderen (z.B. Sport, Musik u.a.) gemeinsam mit den Kindern der Regelklassen (mit den nötigen heilpädagogischen Ressourcen).
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
We urgently need qualified workers in so many areas so that our economy can continue at the existing level. This is particularly true for us in Basel with our life sciences cluster. The increase in the third-country quota makes particular sense in this context. That's why I successfully lobbied for it in the National Council.
Wir brauchen in so vielen Bereichen dringend qualifizierte Arbeitskräfte, damit unsere Wirtschaft auf dem bestehenden Niveau weitermachen kann. Das gilt für uns in Basel mit unserem Life Sciences-Cluster ganz besonders. Die Erhöhung des Drittstaatenkontingentes ist in diesem Zusammenhang besonders sinnvoll. Deswegen habe ich mich im Nationalrat mit einem Vorstoss erfolgreich dafür eingesetzt.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The risk that consumption among young people will increase sharply after legalization is already very high. I know of too many cases of young people who have become listless and increasingly in trouble due to excessive cannabis use.
Das Risiko, dass der Konsum bei Jugendlichen nach einer Legalisierung stark steigen wird, ist schon sehr hoch. Mir sind zu viele Fälle von Jugendlichen bekannt, die aufgrund von zu hohem Cannabis-Konsum antriebslos geworden und zunehmend in Schwierigkeiten geraten sind.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
For me, this is a question of personal freedom. There are no negative consequences for anyone if you officially introduce a third gender.
Das ist für mich eine Frage der persönlichen Freiheit. Es hat keine negative Konsequenzen für irgendwen, wenn man amtlich ein drittes Geschlecht einführt.
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
After the pandemic, we now need to restructure the federal finances - without exaggerated austerity measures and social cuts,
Nach der Pandemie müssen wir jetzt einmal die Bundesfinanzen sanieren - ohne übertriebene Sparmassnahmen und Sozialabbau,
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
An inheritance tax with high exemption amounts is fundamentally fair and efficient. However, generous exemptions for SMEs and family businesses are needed so that jobs are not jeopardized.
Eine Erbschaftssteuer mit hohen Freibeträgen ist grundsätzlich gerecht und effizient. Es braucht aber grosszügige Ausnahmen für KMU und Familienbetriebe, damit keine Arbeitsplätze gefährdet werden.
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
The current system works well - and that should be maintained. Solidarity is important. But it cannot be that some rural cantons abuse the contributions from the NFA to poach rich taxpayers from other cantons.
Das aktuelle System funktioniert gut - und das sollte man beibehalten. Solidarität ist wichtig. Aber es kann nicht sein, dass manche ländliche Kantone die Beiträge aus dem NFA missbrauchen, um reiche Steuerzahlerinnen aus anderen Kantonen abzuwerben.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Whereby a certain regional differentiation is needed.
Wobei es eine gewisse regionale Differenzierung braucht.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Electricity supply should be part of the public service. We saw last fall that the liberalized market does not work in crisis situations and that some companies can get into trouble.
Stromversorgung sollte zum service public gehören. Man hat letzten Herbst gesehen, dass der liberalisierte Markt gerade in Krisensituationen nicht funktioniert und manche Unternehmen in Schwierigkeiten geraten können.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
A selective expansion can be useful to prevent congestion and evasive traffic from overloading neighborhoods and communities. However, the expansion of public transport should be given higher priority,
Ein punktueller Ausbau kann sinnvoll sein, um eine Überlastung von Quartieren und Gemeinden durch Stau und Ausweichverkehr zu verhindern. Der Ausbau des ÖV sollte aber höhere Priorität geniessen,
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In some areas, bans also make sense (e.g., electric heaters).
In manchen Bereichen sind Verbote auch sinnvoll (z.B. Elektroheitungen).
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Incentive taxes make sense. Generally higher tariffs for high consumption could have a negative impact on some industries and endanger jobs.
Lenkungsabgaben sind sinnvoll. Generell höhere Tarife bei hohem Verbrauch könnten sich auf manche Branchen belastend auswirken und Arbeitsplätze gefährden.
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)?

|---|---|---|---|
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?

|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 question is how one would even define such areas to ensure biodiversity.
Die Frage ist, wie man solche Flächen zur Sicherung der Biodiversität überhaupt definieren würde.
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
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
A "right to repair" does not seem to me to be feasible in practice. But it is legitimate and necessary to think about government measures in this area
Ein "Recht auf Reparatur" scheint mir in der Praxis nicht umsetzbar zu sein. Aber es ist legitim und notwendig, über staatliche Massnahmen in diesem Bereich nachzudenken
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
We are clearly lagging behind in the digitization of government services by international standards.
Wir sind bei der Digitalisierung staatlicher Dienstleistungen im internationalen Vergleich klar im Rückstand.
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?

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
We do not need more soldiers, but more security cooperation in Europe.
Wir brauchen nicht mehr Soldaten, sondern mehr Sicherheits-Zusammenarbeit in Europa.
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

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Scumonda da visar automaticamain la fatscha en locals publics
Should automatic facial recognition be banned in public spaces?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I'm not fundamentally against video surveillance - it can be very helpful, especially in hotspots. With automatic facial recognition, the potential for abuse seems too great to me.
Ich bin nicht grundsätzlich gegen Videoüberwachung - gerade an Hotspots kann sie sehr helfen. Bei automatischer Gesichtserkennung erscheint mir das Missbrauchspotential zu gross.
Denounce the Schengen Agreement and strengthen border controls
Should Switzerland terminate the Schengen agreement with the EU and reintroduce more security checks directly on the border? [BePart question]

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
Social and environmental standards simply must not be jeopardized as a result.
Sozial- und Umweltstandards dürfen dadurch einfach nicht gefährdet werden.
Comply with social and environmental standards
Should Swiss companies be obliged to ensure that their subsidiaries and suppliers operating abroad comply with social and environmental standards?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Terminate bilateral agreements with the EU
Should Switzerland terminate the Bilateral Agreements with the EU and seek a free trade agreement without the free movement of persons?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
That would be economic suicide.
Das wäre wirtschaftlicher Suizid.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Switzerland should stand on the side of international law and human rights. After all, we have a particular interest in ensuring that the law of the strongest does not simply apply in international relations.
Die Schweiz soll auf der Seite des Völkerrechts und der Menschenrechte stehen. Denn gerade wir haben ein Interesse, dass in internationalen Beziehungen nicht einfach das Recht des Stärkeren gilt.

The lower middle class must also be relieved. No one should have to spend more than 10% of their income on health insurance premiums.
Dabei muss auch die untere Mittelschicht entlastet werden. Niemand soll mehr als 10% seines Einkommens für Krankenkassenprämien ausgeben müssen.
