| 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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?

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
In principle, individual responsibility should also be strengthened in the area of healthcare costs. In view of the heavy burden of health insurance premiums on households, we are also committed to the targeted development of premium reductions.
La responsabilité individuelle doit en principe être renforcée dans le domaine des coûts de la santé également. Compte tenu de la charge importante que représentent les primes d'assurance maladie pour les ménages, nous nous engageons parallèlement pour un développement ciblé de la réduction des primes.
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
Experience shows that, in the event of a crisis, the Confederation and the cantons must be able to resort to temporary measures quickly, but that politics must be able to play a corrective role. It makes no sense to proactively limit the room for maneuver.
L'expérience montre, qu'en cas de crise, la Confédération et les cantons doivent pouvoir recourir rapidement à des mesures temporaires, mais que la politique doit pouvoir jouer un rôle correctif. Il n'est pas judicieux de limiter de manière proactive la marge de manoeuvre.

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

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
We support integrative schooling. However, it must focus on children's individual needs. It must be accompanied by a strengthening of the quality of the school system and the skills of teachers.
Nous soutenons l'école intégrative. Celle-ci doit toutefois être axée sur les besoins individuels des enfants. Cela doit s'accompagner d'un renforcement de la qualité du système scolaire et des compétences des enseignant-e-s.

Nous voulons que chaque personne puisse réaliser son plein potentiel

|---|---|---|---|
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
Given the structural deficit, tax cuts are not appropriate in the current financial situation. However, we continue to support important tax reforms, such as individual taxation.
Compte tenu du déficit structurel, les baisses d'impôts ne sont pas appropriées dans la sitluation financière actuelle. Nous continuons toutefois à soutenir des réformes fiscales importantes, comme l'imposition individuelle.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The current taxation system is no longer adapted to new family forms. We are in favor of a taxation system that is independent of marital status and equal for all. Individual taxation would put an end to the preferential tax treatment of individual lifestyles.
Le système d'imposition actuelle n'est plus adapté aux formes nouvelles de la famille. Nous sommes en faveur d'un système d'imposition indépendant de l'état civil et égalitaire pour tous. L'imposition individuelle mettrait fin au traitement fiscal préférentiel des formes de vie individuelles.

Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
We are clearly in favor of reorganizing the Swiss transport system to make it more sustainable. Firstly, to avoid unnecessary transport, and secondly to promote the transition to more efficient means of travel, such as walking, cycling and public transport.
Nous nous positionnons clairement en faveur d’un réaménagement du système de transports suisse vers plus de durabilité. Il s’agit en premier lieu d’éviter des transports inutiles et en second lieu de promouvoir la transition vers des moyens de déplacement plus efficaces, tels que la marche à pied, le vélo et les transports publics.

Should Switzerland ban the registration of new passenger cars with internal combustion engines starting in 2035?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

To speed up the transition, I'd be in favor of a ban, but we want to start with incentives and, only if necessary, prescriptions or bans.
Pour que la transition se fasse plus rapidement, je serais favorable à l'interdiction mais nous voulons recourir en premier lieu à des incitations et, uniquement si nécessaire, à des prescriptions ou des interdictions.

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
We are in a historic period of transition. Sometimes, we have to make certain choices in order to develop renewable energies and Switzerland's self-sufficiency in electricity, while waiting for new, less restrictive technologies. This does not prevent us from taking great care to protect nature and the landscape.
Nous sommes dans une période historique de transition. Parfois, nous devons faire certains choix afin de développer les énergies renouvelables et l'autonomie de la Suisse en matière d'électricité en attendant de nouvelles technologies moins contraignantes. Cela n'empêche pas que nous soyons très attentifs à la protection de la nature et du paysage.

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
What counts is intelligent implementation. For example, there are alternatives to post offices. What counts is the service, not how it's delivered.
Ce qui compte c'est une mise en oeuvre intelligente. Par exemple, il existe des alternatives aux bureaux de poste. Ce qui compte, c'est le service et non la manière dont il est fourni.

Would you be in favor of the introduction of increasing electricity tariffs when consumption is higher (progressive electricity tariffs)?

|---|---|---|---|
Comment

En prinicipe plutôt oui, en favorisant l'achat de l'électricité renouvelable (propre) et en garantissant la compatibilité et l'équité sociale.

Comment
Media diversity, quality journalism and regional media are essential for a direct, federal and multilingual democracy like Switzerland. When it comes to media support, innovation is undoubtedly needed, but not this reduction.
La diversité des médias, le journalisme de qualité et les médias régionaux sont essentiels pour une démocratie directe, fédérale et plurilingue comme la Suisse. en matière de soutien aux médias, il faut incontestablement des innovations, mais pas cette réduction.

Strengthening cooperation between the Swiss army and NATO
Should the Swiss Armed Forces expand their cooperation with NATO?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The situation in Eastern Europe is upsetting our perception of the geostrategic balance and security of our continent. We can no longer imagine that Switzerland is capable of defending itself alone, and in matters of security we must strengthen our collaboration with the European Union and NATO, while preserving our neutrality.
La situation à l'est de l'Europe bouleverse la perception que nous avons de l'équilibre géostratégique et de la sécurité de notre continent. Nous ne pouvons plus imaginer que la Suisse soit capable de se défendre seule et en matière de sécurité nous devons renforcer les collaborations avec l'Union européenne et l'OTAN tout en préservant notre neutralité.

Comment
Redistribution by the state is a necessary means, but not an end in itself. It is true that redistribution reduces differences in income and wealth. But "compensate" is a somewhat ambiguous formulation.
La redistribution par l'Etat est un moyen nécessaire mais pas une fin en soi. Certes, la redistribution permet de réduire les différences de revenus et de fortune. Mais "compenser" est une formulation quelque peu ambiguë.

For us, ambitious environmental protection and a strong economy go hand in hand. In the medium and long term, inadequate environmental protection also has a negative impact on the economy or economic growth (destruction of natural resources, loss of biodiversity, adverse effects on health, etc.).
Pour nous, une protection de l'environnement ambitieuse et une économie forte vont de pair. A moyen et long terme, une protection de l'environnement déficiente a également un impact négatif sur l'économie ou la croissance économique (destruction de ressources naturelles, perte de biodiversité, effets néfastes sur la santé, etc...).
