Health insurance premiums
Should the federal government allocate more funding for health insurance premium subsidies?

We don't need to "tackle" premiums, we need to "tackle" costs.
Wir müssen nicht bei den Prämien "anpacken", sondern bei den "Kosten".
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?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Basically a very good option for parents - but who pays for this and can the economy also "cope" and "finance" this. Likewise, the employee is missing, which is just as much of a burden on an SME. Therefore, I am critical.
Grundsätzlich eine sehr gute Option für Eltern - aber wer bezahlt dies und kann dies die Wirtschaft auch "verkraften" und "finanzieren". Ebenso fehlt die Mitarbeiterin oder der Mitarbeiter, was ein KMU ebenso belastet. Daher bin ich kritisch.

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

|---|---|---|---|
Contribution to healthcare costs
Should insured persons contribute more to health care costs (e.g., increase the minimum deductible)?

|---|---|---|---|

This should be solved individually - higher deductible = lower premium

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
When I see the problem in our canton, then a "nationwide" solution would make sense at best
Wenn ich die Problematik in unserem Kanton sehe, dann wäre eine "bundesweite" Lösung allenfalls sinnvoll
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?

|---|---|---|---|

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 |

In times of a shortage of skilled workers, this would definitely be a way... but I am still rather critical
In Zeiten vom Fachkräftemangel wäre dies durchaus ein Weg... bin aber noch eher kritisch
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Why to accommodate in "expensive" Swiss facilities, if it would be possible "on site" / resp. in the vicinity and we "build" something there
Wieso in "teuren" Schweizer Anlagen unterbringen, wenn es "vor Ort" / resp. in der Nähe möglich wäre und wir dort etwas "aufbauen"
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
With a legalization we would have on the one hand an overview of the consumption and if something is no longer forbidden, it loses possibly also at "attraction" to consume this.
Bei einer Legalisierung hätten wir auf der einen Seite einen Überblick über den Konsum und wenn etwas nicht mehr verboten ist, verliert es eventuell auch an "Reiz" dies zu konsumieren.
Authorize active euthanasia
Would you be in favour of doctors being allowed to administer direct active euthanasia in Switzerland?

With clear specifications, this would make perfect sense

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I am clearly of the opinion that the relationship between man/woman, man/man or woman/woman should be equal in all respects. This contemporary openness is what society needs
Ich bin klar der Meinung, dass die Beziehung zwischen Mann/Frau, Mann/Mann oder Frau/Frau in allen Punkten gleichgestellt werden. Diese zeitgemässe Offenheit braucht die Gesellschaft
Finances & taxes
Reduce taxes at the federal level
Do you support tax cuts at the federal level over the next four years?

|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I think the state apparatus has potential for a tax cut
ich denke der Staatsapparat hat Potential für eine Steuersenkung
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]

|---|---|---|---|
Comment
If this can prevent the "tax penalty for married couples".

|---|---|---|---|
Strengthen financial equalization between the cantons
Should the differences between cantons with high and low financial capacity be further reduced through fiscal equalization?

|---|---|---|---|
Comment
However, I also understand that the individual "rich" cantons are not pleased with this proposal.
Jedoch verstehe ich auch dass die einzelnen "reichen" Kantone sich nicht erfreuen an diesem Vorschlag
Economy & labour

|---|---|---|---|
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
In principle, the market should solve this itself, and it will - but I think that it may need a higher-level "comparison control".
Dies soll der Markt im Grundsatz selber lösen und das wird er auch - denke aber dass es eventuell eine übergeordnete "Vergleichskontrolle" brauchen wird.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
We probably need to learn to change our behavior with our own PW before we expand sections of highway. Likewise, the "bottleneck" will then probably simply be moved
Wahrscheinlich müssen wir lernen unser Verhalten mit dem eigenen PW zu ändern, bevor wir Autobahnabschnitte ausbauen. Ebenso wird dann das "Nadelör" wahrscheinlich einfach verschoben
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?

|---|---|---|---|
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
Even as a child we resisted bans and therefore incentives would rather make sense - but they should not be financial incentives (no subsidy increases)
Schon als Kind haben wir uns gegen Verbote gewehrt und daher wären eher Anreize sinnvoll - es sollen aber keine finanziellen Anreize sein (keine Subventionserhöhungen)
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 cannot demand renewable energies and put landscape protection "in front" at the first wind turbine
Wir können nicht erneuerbare Energien verlangen und beim ersten Windrad den Landschaftsschutz "vorne hin stellen"
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
Basically no, but if you "believe" certain circles, new nuclear power plants will soon be more sustainable than various other buildings. Therefore, this would at least have to be examined.
Grundsätzlich nein, aber wenn man gewissen Kreisen "glaubt" sind neue Atomkraftwerke bald nachhaltiger als verschiedenste andere Bauten. Daher wäre dies mindestens zu prüfen.
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
However, it is clear to me that this should then also be used
Jedoch ist mir klar, dass dieser dann auch genutzt werden sollte
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 |

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?

The way is certainly correct - but whether this is "meaningful" for all is unclear to me
Der Weg ist sicherlich richtig - aber ob dies für alle "sinnvoll" ist, ist mir unklar
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Basically safe for the animal - but also here is the question of costs/benefits and the consequences, which I can not judge.
Grundsätzlich sicher für das Tier - aber auch hier ist die Frage von KOsten/Nutzen und die Konsequenzen, welche ich nicht beurteilen kann
National territory available for biodiversity conservation
Should 30% of Switzerland's land area be dedicated to preserving biodiversity? [BePart question]

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

Konsequenzen kann ich zu wenig beurteilen
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Whether the disposable plastic in part topics is not more sustainable is unclear to me. For example, in occasions and reusable cups are needed enormously fun - what is more sustainable ?
Ob der Einwegplastik in Teils Themen nicht nachhaltiger ist, ist mir unklar. Zum Beispiel bei Anlässen und wieder verwendbaren Bechern wird enorm viel Spass benötigt - was ist nachhaltiger ?

| 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?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Here, the market should play and not everyone must have to make such a high contribution to state television
Hier soll der Markt spielen und es müssen nicht alle so einen hohen Beitrag an das Staatsfernsehen leisten müssen
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Introducing an optional financial referendum against federal spending
Should it be possible to hold a referendum on federal spending above a certain amount (optional financial referendum)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The question here is certainly also the expense for the federal government - or the additional expense.
Die Frage ist sicherlich auch hier der Aufwand für den Bund - resp. der Mehraufwand.

Are you in favor of expanding the army's target number of soldiers to at least 120,000?

We then take sides - is this correct ?
Wir beziehen dann Partei - ist dies richtig ?
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
The question here is above all who may then use these data
Die Frage ist hier vor allem, wer diese Daten dann nutzen darf
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]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
We have to "secure" our country more again, because especially in the border regions - like the canton of St. GAllen - crime has increased enormously
Wir müssen unser Land wieder mehr "absichern", denn vor allem in den Grenzregionen - wie der Kanton St. GAllen - hat die Kriminalität enorm zugenommen

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Especially in the report of the subsidiaries I think this makes sense - with the suppliers it somehow goes beyond the scope.
Vor allem im Bericht der Tochterfirmen finde ich dies sinnvoll - bei den Zulieferanten sprengt es dann doch irgendwie den Rahmen
