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
Since health insurance costs are rising at an above-average rate (higher than inflation), premium reductions must also follow suit. The reduction is an important pillar of social policy. Unfortunately, the premiums are "out of control" and even for the middle class, it is very difficult to afford them at all.
Da die KK- Kosten überdurchschnittlich (höher als Inflation) steigen, müssen auch die Prämienverbilligungen mitziehen. Die Verbilligung ist ein wichtiger sozialpolitischer Pfeiler. Die Prämien sind leider "ausser Rand und Band" und auch für den Mittelstand nur mit grösster Mühe überhaupt zu stemmen.
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
Unfortunately, especially older couples who live on AHV and pension and have no other income with increased rents / interest, energy prices and health insurance premiums to financial limits. If both have worked and paid AHV should be taken into account accordingly.
Leider kommen gerade ältere Ehepaare, welche von AHV und Rente leben und keine anderen Einnahmen haben bei gestiegenen Mieten/Zinsen, Energiepreise und Krankenkassenprämie an finanzielle Grenzen. Wenn beide gearbeitet und AHV einbezahlt haben sollte das auch entsprechend berücksichtigt werden.
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
Unfortunately, I must say, but the step is unavoidable in the current market situation.
Leider muss ich sagen, aber der Schritt ist nicht zu vermeiden bei den gegenwärtigen Marktsituation.
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
We have to relieve the economy, not burden it even more. If someone wants to take unpaid vacation, he should arrange it with his employer.
Wir müssen die Wirtschaft entlasten, nicht noch mehr belasten. Wenn jemand unbezahlte Ferien nehmen will soll er das mit seinem Arbeitgeber ausmachen.
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 federal government should abolish bureaucratic obstacles so that more housing can be built. In the undergrowth of overlapping regulations from municipalities, cantons and the federal government, one has to wonder that any housing is built at all. The federal government also tends to know the local situations less than municipalities or cantons.
Der Bund soll bürokratische Hindernisse abschaffen, damit mehr Wohnung gebaut werden können. Im Gestrüpp von sich überlappenden Vorschriften von Gemeinden, Kantonen und Bund muss man sich wundern, dass überhaupt noch Wohnungen gebaut werden. Der Bund kennt auch die lokalen Situationen eher weniger als Gemeinden oder Kanton.

Comment
No more fees and charges!
Keine weiteren Gebühren und Abgaben!
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
This is one of several ways to prevent health insurance premiums from rising indefinitely. The SVP has always been against mandatory health insurance. Health care costs are one of the biggest current challenges.
Das ist eine diverser Möglichkeiten, damit die KK-Prämien nicht unendlich steigen. Die SVP war immer gegen das KK-Obligatorium. Die Gesundheitskosten sind eines der grössten aktuellen Herausforderungen.
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
Absolutely! The Federal Council is jointly responsible for a large part of the damage incurred during the two years Corona 2020-2022 (e.g. in the cultural sector/entertainment/sport).
Unbedingt! Der Bundesrat ist für einen grossen Teil der entstandenen Schäden während den zwei Jahren Corona 2020-2022 (z.B. im Kulturbereich/Unterhaltung/Sport) mitverantwortlich.
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
This must remain with the cantons, subsidiarity.
Das muss bei den Kantonen bleiben, Subsidarität.
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
This must be changed. The current concept has definitely not proven itself.
Das muss geändert werden. Das heutige Konzept hat sich definitiv nicht bewährt.
Tighten the requirements for obtaining a high school diploma

Yes to performance principle.
Ja zu Leistungsprinzip.
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
Equal education for all YES! The state is already doing a lot in education today and it is also the costs that are increasing at an above-average rate. It is important to strengthen the self-responsibility of the students and not to undermine the will to achieve with more and more supervision.
Gleiche Bildung für alle JA! Der Staat leistet heute schon viel in Bildung und es sind ebenfalls die Kosten die überdurchschnittlich stark steigen. Es gilt die Selbstverantwortung der Schüler zu stärken und nicht mit immer mehr Betreuung den Leistungswillen zu untergraben.
Immigration & integration

Should the conditions for naturalization be relaxed (e.g., shorter residence period)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
No way!
Auf keinen Fall!
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
And if so, then only without family reunification and with limited permits that expire. At the same time, mass immigration from EU countries must be restricted (limit the free movement of persons).
Und wenn, dann nur ohne Familiennachzug und mitbegrenzten Bewilligungen die ablaufen. Gleichzeitig muss die Masseneinwanderung aus EU-Staaten eingeschränkt werden (Personenfreizügigkeit begrenzen).

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 |

Authorize active euthanasia
Would you be in favour of doctors being allowed to administer direct active euthanasia in Switzerland?

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
The traditional family model should always be in 1st place by law. But same-sex couples must not be socially discriminated against.
Das traditionelle Familienmodell soll gesetzlich an immer 1. Stelle stehen. Aber gleichgeschlechtliche Paare dürfen gesellschaftlich nicht diskriminiert werden.
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
Even though the federal government is going through difficult financial times at the moment, we do not have a revenue problem, but above all an expenditure problem. New employees are constantly being hired in the federal administration, and new "government tasks" are being invented. Only tax cuts keep up the pressure to save.
Auch wenn der Bund im Moment schwierige finanzielle Zeiten durchlebt haben wir nicht ein Einnahme, sondern vorallem ein Ausgabeproblem. Ständig werden in der Bundesverwaltung neue Mitarbeiter eingestellt, neue "Staatsaufgaben" erfunden. Nur Steuersenkungen halten den Spardruck aufrecht.

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
Fundamental issue between employer and employee or their AG/AN organizations. In addition, the circumventions are possible.
Grundsätzliche Frage zwischen Arbeitgeber und Arbeitnehmer bzw. deren AG/AN-Organisationen. Zudem sind die Umgehungen möglich.
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
Even if it is clear to me that, above all, a ban on bonuses would be circumvented and that all equity capital regulations would be of no use if confidence is lost. But a signal must be set so that cases like CS do not happen again.
Auch wenn mir klar ist, dass vorallem ein Boniverbot umgangen werden würde und wenn das Vertrauen weg ist alle Eigenkapitalvorschriften nichts nützen. Aber es muss ein Zeichen gesetzt werden, damit Fälle wie CS sich nicht mehr ereignen.
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
No complete ! liberalization. I had to change my mind there as a liberal. The electricity industry must remain controlled - there are other challenges to be tackled in this area.
Keine vollständige ! Liberalisierung. Ich musste da meine Meinung als Liberaler ändern. Die Strombranche muss kontrolliert bleiben - es sind in diesem Bereich andere Herausforderungen anzugehen.
Make housing construction regulations more flexible
Should housing construction regulations be relaxed (e.g., noise protection, occupancy rates)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

We have too many regulations and often still the wrong ones that have the opposite effect!

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I am against such a bureaucratic measure, which brings little. Women who perform equally well as men should be treated equally, but the state should stay out of it with its bureaucratic approach.
Ich bin gegen eine solche Bürokratiemassnahme, die wenig bringt. Frauen die ihre Leistung gleich gut erbringen wie Männer sollen gleich behandelt werden, abe der Staat soll sich da raushalten mit seiner bürokratischen Herangehensweise.

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
I am first of all against the unrestrained expansion of wind power (e.g. on the Zugerberg). In the mountains, I am in favor of raising dams, so rather no than a categorical no. categorical No. Pragmatic approach necessary.
Ich bin vorallem einmal gegen den hemmungslosen Ausbau der Windkraft (z.B. auf dem Zugerberg). Im Gebirge bin ich für Erhöhung von Staumauern, deshalb eher Nein als ein kategorisches Nein. Pragmatische Herangehensweise nötig.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Basic services, especially in the areas of public transport, postal services and telecommunications, must be maintained. No two-tier Switzerland, even if this entails considerable costs.

The wolf has now advanced as far as the foothills of the Alps and also into the Central Plateau. The federal government has taken the first steps in the right direction.

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Comment
The pressure on SRG/SRF can only happen in this way. Unfortunately, the information provided by Tagesschau and other broadcasts is very one-sided. The private broadcasters offer a good range of services and therefore stronger liberalization in this area.
Der Druck auf SRG/SRF kann nur so geschehen. Leider ist sind die Informationen der Tagesschau aber auch anderer Sendungen sehr einseitig. Die Privaten bieten ein gutes Angebot und darum stärkere Liberalisierung in diesem Bereich.

Are you in favor of expanding the army's target number of soldiers to at least 120,000?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

120,000 is the lower number. We must increase the number of troops as much as possible.

Should the Swiss Armed Forces expand their cooperation with NATO?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Should Switzerland strive for a comprehensive free trade agreement (including agriculture) with the USA?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Yes, of course, and Swiss agriculture must be taken into account. A level playing field is required. The USA is still the world's largest trading power, closely followed by China.

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 |

Self-responsibility on the part of these large companies must take precedence over further bureaucratization. I was firmly against the accountability initiative, which was narrowly rejected.
Selbstverantwortung dieser Grossunternehmen ist vor weiterer Verürokratisierung zu setzen. Ich war entschieden gegen die knapp abgelehnte Verantwortlichkeits-Initiative.
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 |

This is primarily due to the current regulation of the unrestricted free movement of persons from the EU, which places a heavy burden on Switzerland at many different levels.

Unfortunately, I was not at all impressed by the behavior of our security forces in various cantons during the Corona pandemic. Nevertheless, the court proceedings are usually fair, in the sense of "in dubio pro reo.

There is already massive redistribution, e.g. also in the AHV, where better earners never receive what they have paid in soldierly. In other areas, too, a small minority pays for the large majority.

But this is not always possible for various reasons. But the principle applies that no one can pass on as much to the child as the parents, grandparents and close family friends. The above sentence is too striking for me - exceptions prove the rule.
Nur ist das aus verschiednen Gründen nicht immer möglich. Aber der Grundsatz gilt, dass niemand dem Kind soviel weitergeben kann wie die Eltern, Grosseltern und enge Freunde der Familie. Der obige Satz ist mir zu plakativ - Ausnahmen bestätigen die Regel.

All the dangers on the net (hackers), etc. must be taken into account. At the moment, the enthusiasm for digitization is too great for me. The state in particular has had to experience embarrassing mishaps recently. That weakens my trust in digitization.

Education and research are important. A shift to STEM is needed. Certain subjects at universities are supported far too generously, and the social and technical benefits are often not relevant.

No to a general increase of the AHV. Older employees already have trouble finding a job at 50+. In addition, in various industries constantly strong technological changes are taking place, which favors the younger. Those who want to continue working are free to do so, on their own responsibility.
Nein zu einer generellen Erhöhung der AHV. Aeltere Mitarbeiter haben heute schon mit 50+ Mühe eine Stelle zu finden. Zudem finden in diversen Branchen laufend starke technologische Umwälzungen was die Jüngeren begünstigt statt. Wer weiterarbeiten will ist frei dies zu tun, eigenverantwortlich.
