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
We need a good and affordable healthcare system. However, we cannot afford the rising costs for much longer. There are several ways to change that. I advocate two. First, benefits should be reduced and second, more personal responsibility must be demanded.
Wir brauchen ein gutes und finanzierbares Gesundheitssystem. Jedoch können wir uns die steigenden Kosten nicht mehr lange leisten. Um das zu ändern, gibt es verschiedene Möglichkeiten. Ich setze mich für zwei ein. Erstens sollten die Leistungen reduziert werden und zweitens muss mehr Eigenverantwortung verlangt werden.
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
As a married couple, you should not be worse off than as two individuals living together in a marriage-like manner. The question I ask myself is simply, how do we finance this?
Als Ehepaar sollten man nicht schlechter gestellt sein, wie als zwei Einzelpersonen, die eheähnlich zusammenleben. Die Frage, die ich mir stelle ist einfach, wie finanzieren wir das?
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
It is simply not acceptable that more is paid out than we have paid in. That would be at the expense of our children. What would certainly be worth considering, however, is how the BVG funds are invested. Would it not be possible to generate more money from these investments?
Es geht einfach nicht, dass mehr ausbezahlt wird als wir einbezahlt haben. Das geht auf die Kosten unserer Kinder. Was jedoch sicherlich eine Überlegung wert wäre, ist wie die BVG Gelder angelegt werden. Wäre es nicht möglich, mehr Geld aus diesen Anlagen zu erwirtschaften?
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]

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
We must be careful not to burden the federal government, and thus the taxpayer, with too many tasks. Affordable housing is needed. However, we should see to it that the market functions better when it comes to creating housing. The number of objections should be reduced.
Wir müssen aufpassen, dass wir nicht zu viele Aufgaben dem Bund und damit dem Steuerzahler aufbürden. Günstiger Wohnraum braucht es. Jedoch sollten wir schauen, dass der Markt beim Erstellen von Wohnraum besser funktioniert. Einsprachemöglichkeiten sollten reduziert 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
In many respects, the Federal Council has managed the pandemic much better than our neighbors. Nevertheless, it overshot the mark on many points. For example, the unequal treatment of those who have been vaccinated and those who have tested negative. That's why I'm more in favor of this measure.
Der Bundesrat hat die Pandemie in vielen Punkten viel besser bewältigt als unsere Nachbarn. Trotzdem hat er in vielen Punkten über das Ziel hinaus geschossen. Zum Beispiel die ungleiche Behandlung von Geimpften und negativ Getesteten. Daher befürworte ich eher diese Massnahme.

In the long term, it is important for a successful society that the best minds prevail. That's why we should take equal opportunities in education very seriously.
Für eine erfolgreiche Gesellschaft ist es langfristig wichtig, dass sich die besten Köpfe durchsetzen. Daher sollten wir die Chancengleichheit bei der Bildung sehr ernst nehmen.
