|---|---|---|---|
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
There must be no injustice or unequal treatment.
Es darf keine Ungerechtigkeit oder Ungleichbehandlung stattfinden.
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
Already today, a pension is hardly sufficient, so an impoverishment of the retired is accepted.
Schon heute reicht eine Rente kaum aus, so wird eine Verarmung der pensionierten in Kauf genommen.
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]

Es bedarf dringend i an Wohnungen, die eine geregelte Miete haben.
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
Certain vaccinations should be mandatory, but in principle each person should be free to decide.
Gewisse Impfungen sollten zwingend gemacht werden, grundsätzlich sollte hier jedoch jede Person frei entscheiden können.
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
Here I see the educational institutions and parents as having a duty. They need to be educated and not reintroduce a tax.
Hier sehe ich die Bildungsinstitutionen und Eltern in der Pflicht. Es muss aufgeklärt werden und nicht wieder eine Steuer eingeführt werden.
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
Enough is already being paid. The problem lies elsewhere and must not be passed on to the population any longer.
Es wird bereits genug bezahlt. Das Problem liegt anderswo und darf nicht weiter auf die Bevölkerung abgewälzt werden.
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
You can never please everyone. During the pandemic, the Federal Council only tried to act in the best interest of the population. It is important to learn from this.
Man kann es nie allen Recht machen. Während der Pandemie hat der Bundesrat auch nur versucht im besten Interesse für die Bevölkerung zu handeln. Wichtig ist, dass man daraus lernt.
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
I don't really have an opinion on this. There should be interference, because in my opinion hospitals should not work for profit, but for the benefit of the population. However, a determination could have fatal consequences, especially in rural areas.
Hierzu habe ich keine wirkliche Meinung. Es sollte eine Einmischung stattfinden, da meines Erachtens die Spitäler nicht gewinnorientiert arbeiten sollten, sondern zum Wohle der Bevölkerung. Eine Festlegung könnte jedoch, gerade in ländlichen Gegenden, fatale Folgen nach sich ziehen.
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
Every child should have the benefit of attending a normal school class. However, it must also be ensured that the child as well as the schoolmates benefit from it.
Jedes Kind sollte in den Genuss kommen eine normale Schulklasse zu besuchen. Es muss aber auch sichergestellt werden, dass das Kind sowie die Schulkameraden davon profitieren.
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
A big problem of today with the shortage of skilled workers is that the trainings are not well accessible. This would exacerbate the problem.
Ein grosses Problem der heutigen Zeit mit dem Fachkräftemangel ist, dass die Ausbildungen nicht gut zugänglich sind. Dies würde das Problem noch verschärfen.
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)?

|---|---|---|---|
Comment
It all comes down to integration.
Es kommt auf die Integration an.
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)?

Zu medizinischen Zwecken sehe ich hier kein Problem, solange es kontrolliert passiert.
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
In today's time this would be appropriate, however I find with 3 definitions the maximum reached.
In der heutigen Zeit wäre dies angebracht, jedoch finde ich mit 3 Definitionen das maximum erreicht.
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
The population is already burdened enough, there should certainly be no increase here.
Die Bevölkerung wird bereits genug belastet, es darf hier sicherlich keine Erhöhung geben.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The tax penalty must be abolished, as must the unequal treatment of married couples with regard to pensions.
Die Steuerstrafe muss abgeschafft werden, genauso wie die ungleiche Behandlung von Ehepaaren bei der Rente.

Would you support the introduction of a national inheritance tax on all inheritances over one million Swiss francs? [BePart question]

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
It cannot be that horrendous bonuses are paid out in the executive suite instead of making provisions.
Es kann nicht sein, dass horrende Boni ausgezahlt werden in der Chefetage anstelle von Rückstellungen zu tätigen.
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 open up the market and ultimately relieve the financial burden on purchasers, as prices would subsequently have to be adjusted fairly.
Dies würde den Markt öffnen und am Ende die Bezieher finanziell entlasten, da die Preise anschliessend fair angepasst werden müssten.
Make housing construction regulations more flexible
Should housing construction regulations be relaxed (e.g., noise protection, occupancy rates)?

Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The argument that there will be more cars this way is not correct. There is a population growth, which consequently results in more cars and commuters. With an expansion, a traffic collapse can be prevented and environmentally harmful traffic jams can be avoided.
Das Argument, dass es so mehr Autos geben wird ist nicht korrekt. Es gibt ein Bevölkerungswachstum, was folglich mehr Autos und Pendler zur Folge hat. Mit einem Ausbau kann ein Verkehrskollaps verhindert werden und umweltschädliche Staus vermieden werden.
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
Electric cars have not yet reached that level of maturity. The question of battery disposal has still not been resolved, and the infrastructure is in some cases barely available or non-existent.
Elektroautos sind noch nicht so weit ausgereift. Die Frage der Batterieentsorgung ist nach wie vor nicht geklärt und die Infrastruktur ist teilweise kaum bis nicht vorhanden.
Achieve climate targets through incentives
To achieve climate targets, should incentives and target agreements be relied on exclusively, rather than bans and restrictions?

|---|---|---|---|
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
As long as energy security is not clarified, nuclear energy is unfortunately indispensable.
Solange die Energiesicherheit nicht geklärt ist, ist die nukleare Energie leider unabdinglich.
Ensure a comprehensive range of public services
Should the state guarantee a comprehensive public service offering also in rural regions?

Are you in favor of further relaxing the protection regulations for large predators (lynx, wolf, bear)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|

We should be happy that these animals are returning. This shows that Switzerland protects nature. We have to learn to live with them and not just shoot them immediately.
Wir sollten uns freuen, dass diese Tiere zurückkehren. Dies zeigt, dass die Schweiz die Natur schützt. Wir müssen lernen mit diesen zu leben und nicht einfach gleich abzuschiessen.

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
