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
Depending on the interpretation, around 25% of the population living in Switzerland receive premium reductions. Every 4th inhabitant is thus degraded to a supplicant towards the state. This huge redistribution shows only one thing: the state fails as a whole and the political bodies have not recognized the problems or are not willing to tackle them at the root. More resources, however, are unfortunately the only means to not let more families slide into poverty. Therefore rather yes.
Je nach Auslegung beziehen rund 25 % der in der Schweiz wohnhaften Bevölkerung Prämienverbilligungen. Jeder 4 Einwohner wird somit zum Bittsteller gegenüber dem Staat degradiert. Diese riesige Umverteilung zeigt nur eines auf: der Staat versagt als Ganzes und die politischen Gremien haben die Probleme nicht erkannt oder sind nicht willens, diese an der Wurzel zu packen. Mehr Mittel sind aber leider das einzige Mittel um nicht noch mehr Familien in die Armut abgleiten zu lassen. Deshalb eher ja.
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
Fair pensions for all.
Faire Renten für alle.
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 precisely the cohorts that have already lost massive pension benefits over the past 20 years that will not benefit from any compensation payments under the planned reform. Once again, savings are being made on the backs of the same generation. There are alternatives for the relief of the young generation without the redistribution from young to old is even more expanded.
Gerade die Jahrgänge welche bereits in den letzten 20 Jahren massiv an Rentenleistungen verloren haben, werden bei der angestrebten Reform von keinen Kompensationszahlungen profitieren. Einmal mehr wird auf dem Buckel der selben Generation gespart. Es gibt Alternativen zur Entlastung der jungen Generation ohne das die Umverteilung von Jung zu Alt noch mehr ausgebaut wird.
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
As a father, I would have liked to be able to take this additional time off. And if poorer economies manage to introduce long parental leave, this should also be possible for us.
Als Vater hätte ich es mir gewünscht, diese zusätzliche Auszeit zu beziehen. Und wenn es ärmere Volkswirtschaften schaffen, lange Elternzeit einzuführen, müsste dies für uns auch möglich sein.
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
In Zurich with its hundreds of "non-profit" apartments (co-)financed by the city, dozens of double-income earners with monthly incomes of over CHF 20,000 live today. Keeping this uncontrolled growth under control will be difficult. Therefore, I do not see it as a fundamental task of the state to finance non-profit housing. Nevertheless, these alternatives are also needed.
In Zürich mit seinen hunderten von der Stadt (mit-) finanzierten "gemeinnützigen" Wohnungen leben heute dutzende Doppelverdiener mit Monatseinkommen von über CHF 20'000.--. Diesen Wildwuchs unter Kontrolle zu behalten wird schwierig. Deshalb sehe ich es grundsätzlich nicht als Aufgabe des Staates, den gemeinnützigen Wohnungsbau zu finanzieren. Trotzdem braucht es auch diese Alternativen.
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
Personal responsibility is more important than regulations from above.
Eigenverantwortung ist wichtiger als Verordnungen von oben.
Introduce a tax on sugary foods

Comment

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.
Es reicht.
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
Health care is a matter for the cantons. However, more competence centers should be created across the cantons and cooperation between the cantons should be promoted by the federal government.
Die Gesundheitsversorgung ist Sache der Kantone. Kantonsübergreifend sollten jedoch noch mehr Kompetenzzentren geschaffen und die Zusammenarbeit zwischen den Kantonen vom Bund gefördert werden.
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
An inclusive school is something worth striving for. However, if you talk to teachers, you hear about great successes as well as great failures. A general introduction is therefore rather counterproductive. As an alternative, this offer should be supported depending on the situation.
Eine integrative Schule ist eine erstrebenswerte Sache. Redet man jedoch mit Lehrerinnen und Lehrern hört man von grossen Erfolgen wie auch grossen Misserfolgen. Eine generelle Einführung ist daher eher kontraproduktiv. Als Alternative sollte dieses Angebot je nach Situation unterstützt werden.
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
Even more important than this issue is the desire for more recognition of vocational training. Some industries have made progress. But there is still a lot to do before a turnaround emerges.
Wichtiger noch als diese Frage ist der Wunsch nach mehr Anerkennung der Berufsbildung. Einige Branchen haben Fortschritte gemacht. Es ist aber noch viel zu tun bis sich wieder eine Trendwende auftut.
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
The basic problem lies more in the family environment. If education does not have a high priority within a family clan, additional vouchers are of no use. And those who strive for education despite family obstacles can already take advantage of the existing offers.
Das Grundproblem liegt eher im familiären Umfeld. Wenn die Bildung keinen hohen Stellenwert innerhalb eine Familienclans hat, nützen auch zusätzliche Gutscheine nichts. Und wer trotz familiären Hindernissen Bildung anstrebt, kann diese bereits heute mit den bestehenden Angeboten nutzen.
Immigration & integration
Make naturalization requirements more flexible
Should the conditions for naturalization be relaxed (e.g., shorter residence period)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The residence period until obtaining Swiss citizenship is quite reasonable for people. However, compulsory residence at one place of residence should be reconsidered. Dual citizenships are also disturbing. These create a massive disadvantage for the native population with "only" one passport.
Die Wohnsitzfrist bis zur Erlangung der Schweizer Staatsbürgschaft ist den Menschen durchaus zuzumuten. Die Wohnsitzpflicht an einem Wohnort ist jedoch zu überdenken. Störend sind auch Doppelbürgerschaften. Diese schaffen eine massive Benachteiligung der einheimischen Bevölkerung mit "nur" einen Pass.
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
With a few exceptions, there has been no wage or other discrimination. Our economy needs this workforce.
Ein Lohn- beziehungsweise anderweitige Diskriminierung hat, mit ein paar wenigen Ausnahmen, nicht stattgefunden. Unsere Wirtschaft benötigt diese Arbeitskräfte.
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
The discussions rarely distinguish between asylum seekers, economic or climate migrants or migration for other reasons. We are a society that was founded on humanitarian ideas and we try to continue to live this way. However, the current policy is clearly reaching its limits. We urgently need to consider and examine other possible solutions together with the other European countries.
Die Diskussionen unterscheiden selten zwischen Asylanten-, Wirtschafts- bez. Klimamigranten oder Migration aus anderen Gründen. Wir sind eine Gesellschaft die auf humanitären Gedankengut gegründet wurde und dies nach Möglichkeit auch weiter so lebt. Die aktuelle Politik stösst jedoch ganz klar an ihre Grenzen. Wir müssen dringend andere Lösungsmöglichkeiten zusammen mit den anderen europäischen Staaten andenken und prüfen.
Voting rights for foreigners

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
In recent years, corporate taxes have been lowered, companies have been rescued with state money, and fat bonuses to failed managers have been guaranteed. Only the small citizen and the middle class have not experienced any appreciation for their contribution to a healthy state system in the last 30 years. It would be time for the demand: 5 years tax exemption on federal level for incomes up to CHF 75'000.
In den vergangenen Jahren wurden Unternehmenssteuern gesenkt, Firmen mit Staatsgeldern gerettet und damit fette Boni an gescheiterte ManagerInnen garantiert. Nur der kleine Bürger und die Mittelschicht hat in den letzten 30 Jahren keine Wertschätzung für ihren Beitrag an ein gesundes Staatswesen erlebt. Es wäre Zeit für die Forderung: 5 Jahre Steuerbefreiung auf Bundesebene für Einkommen bis CHF 75'000.--
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]

Strengthen financial equalization between the cantons
Should the differences between cantons with high and low financial capacity be further reduced through fiscal equalization?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Economy & labour
Introduce a national minimum wage of CHF 4,000
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
In an ideal (Swiss) world, the minimum wage should enable a (single) person to pay for a small modest apartment, health insurance premiums and other necessary living expenses without premium reductions or other subsidies. Unfortunately, this is not the case and is thus an indictment of Switzerland, its politics and its entrepreneurs. However, a minimum wage will not change this situation.
In einer idealen (Schweizer-) Welt sollte der Mindestlohn eine (alleinstehende) Person befähigen, eine kleine bescheidene Wohnung, Krankenkassenprämien und sonstige notwendigen Lebenskosten ohne Prämienverbilligungen oder andere Subventionen zu bezahlen. Leider ist dies nicht der Fall und damit Armutszeugnis für die Schweiz, ihre Politik und Ihre Unternehmer. Ein Mindestlohn wird an dieser Situation jedoch nichts ändern.
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
In particular, stricter capital requirements would not have changed anything about the bankruptcy of CS. Once the trust is gone... and morals, decency and intelligence can unfortunately not be prescribed. In addition, there are e.g. also SME's that pay out millions to family members and do not grant employees any (even if minimal) cost-of-living adjustment for years... There are black sheep everywhere.
Insbesondere strengere Eigenkapitalvorschriften hätten am Bankrott der CS nichts geändert. Ist das Vertrauen mal weg... und Moral, Anstand und Intelligenz können leider nicht vorgeschrieben werden. Zudem gibt es z.B. auch KMU's die Millionen an die Familienmitglieder auszahlen und Mitarbeitern seit Jahren keinen (wenn auch minimen) Teuerungsausgleich zugestehen... Es gibt überall schwarze Schafe.
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 |

Make housing construction regulations more flexible
Should housing construction regulations be relaxed (e.g., noise protection, occupancy rates)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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 support equal pay for equal performance. This lies in the joint assessment of employee and employer. Those who are dissatisfied can negotiate or otherwise draw the consequences. In industries with collective labor agreements, equal pay is a given. Everything else is a matter of negotiation. Anyone who denies women this ability is acting in a discriminatory manner.
Ich befürworte gleichen Lohn für gleiche Leistung. Dies liegt in der gemeinsamen Beurteilung von ArbeitnehmerIn und Arbeitgeber. Wer unzufrieden ist, kann verhandeln oder anderweitig die Konsequenzen ziehen. In Branchen mit Gesamtarbeitsverträgen ist die Lohngleichheit gegeben. Alles andere ist Verhandlungssache. Wer Frauen diese Fähigkeit abspricht, handelt diskriminierend.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Ban new registrations of combustion engine vehicles from 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 |

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
Due to the current war situation in Europe, it should be clear to everyone that the expansion of renewable energies not only serves environmental protection but also, and above all, independence. Why can't we, for example, allow the construction of solar plants in selected mountain areas for 50 years with the condition that they be dismantled by that time? By then, completely different, more efficient energy sources will be available (hopefully).
Aufgrund der aktuellen Kriegslage in Europa sollten allen klar sein, dass der Ausbau von erneuerbaren Energien nicht nur dem Umweltschutz sondern vor allem auch der Unabhängigkeit dient. Warum können wir z.B. den Bau von Solaranlagen in ausgewählten Berggebieten nicht für 50 Jahre zulassen mit der Auflage, diese bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt wieder rückzubauen? Bis dann sind ganz andere, effizientere Energiequellen verfügbar (hoffentlich).
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
There are approaches to recycle nuclear waste. Unfortunately, practically no public funds have been made available for research in this area. Maybe these wastes are the energy suppliers of the future...
Es gibt Ansätze, atomare Abfälle wiederzuverwerten. Leider wurden für die Forschung in diesem Bereich praktisch keine öffentlichen Gelder zur Verfügung gestellt. Vielleicht sind diese Abfälle die Energielieferanten der Zukunft...

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The electricity market is complex, supply and demand rarely match, and distribution is not 100% resolved due to the new baseline situation with individual PV plants. Flexibility must be maintained.
Der Strommarkt ist komplex, das Angebot und die Nachfrage selten übereinstimmend und die Verteilung aufgrund der neuen Ausgangslage mit individuellen PV Anlagen nicht zu 100 % gelöst. Die Flexibilität muss erhalten bleiben.

Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Direct payments and subsidies degrade our farmers to beggars and supplicants. A disgrace that costs us billions every year, which would be better invested in education. In addition, I am convinced that every farmer loves to produce ecologically and species-appropriate (if it is at all possible to produce these quantities) if we consumers are willing to pay the prices for it. The responsibility therefore lies with us consumers.
Direktzahlungen und Subventionen degradieren unsere Landwirte zu Bettlern und Bittstellern. Eine Schande die uns jedes Jahr DIE Milliarden kostet, die besser in Bildung investiert würden. Zudem bin ich überzeugt, dass jede Bäuerin und jeder Bauer liebend gerne ökologisch und artgerecht produziert (sofern es überhaupt möglich ist, diese Mengen zu produzieren) wenn wir Konsumenten bereit sind, die Preise dafür zu bezahlen. Die Verantwortung liegt also bei uns Konsumentinnen und Konsumenten.
Introduction of stricter rules on the protection of farm animals

National territory available for biodiversity conservation
Should 30% of Switzerland's land area be dedicated to preserving biodiversity? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The same applies to this topic: Switzerland must maintain as much independence as possible. Food production is part of this and this desire for more ground diversity is understandable and desirable but not realistic.
Auch für dieses Thema gilt: die Schweiz muss eine möglichst grosse Unabhängigkeit wahren. Die Nahrungsmittelproduktion gehört dazu und dieser Wunsch nach mehr Bodiversität ist zwar nachvollzieh- und wünschbar aber nicht realistisch.
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
Plastic is a wonderful material and has many great properties. As far as I know, there are practically no more open landfills in Switzerland. Our plastic is incinerated and thus used as an energy supplier at the end of its life cycle.
Plastik ist ein wunderbares Material und vielen tollen Eigenschaften. In der Schweiz gibt es meines Wissens praktisch keine offenen Müllhalden mehr. Unser Plastik wird verbrannt und somit als Energielieferant am Ende des Lebenszyklus genutzt.

Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Comment
If the voting age of 16 is really up for debate, flanking measures would also have to take place at school. For example, politics and democracy could be introduced as a compulsory subject instead of the obligatory second national language.
Sollte das Stimmrechtsalter auf 16 Jahre wirklich zur Debatte stehen, müssten auch flankierende Massnahmen an der Schule stattfinden. Z.B. könnten man anstatt der obligatorischen 2. Landessprache Politik und Demokratie als Pflichtfach eingeführt werden.

Conversely, this means that the state may and will take all security measures to ensure complete surveillance of the citizen. If I follow all the rules, I have nothing to fear. China has introduced such a system and now evaluates the citizens via a point system... Is that what we want?

Even the "free" market economy needs rules. That's why the social market economy is the better guide. Nevertheless, I am more in favor of fewer rules than more.

A "necessary" redistribution always shows a failure of the state. However, due to the complexity of society and the underlying processes, one will always encounter situations where, at least temporarily, there are no alternatives. Without such redistribution, the chances of social unrest unfortunately increase rapidly.
Eine "notwendige" Umverteilung zeigt immer ein Versagen des Staates auf. Aufgrund der Komplexität der Gesellschaft und der zu Grunde liegenden Prozesse wird man aber immer wieder auf Situationen stossen, in der es, zumindest zeitweise, keine Alternativen gibt. Ohne eine solche Umverteilung steigen die Chance auf soziale Unruhen leider schnell an.

Development cooperation has not delivered relevant results in the past. It should now be conceivable to continue it on a smaller scale and to trust the partners with more autonomy.
Die Entwicklungszusammenarbeit hat in der Vergangenheit keine relevanten Ergebnisse geliefert. Es sollte nun denkbar sein, diese auf kleinerem Niveau weiterzuführen und den Partnern mehr Eigenständigkeit zuzutrauen.

A flexible interpretation of the retirement age must be possible. The existing legislation already allows this in part, but it must be adapted in such a way that early retirement or later retirement is possible without disadvantages or administrative harassment.
Eine flexible Auslegung des Rentenalters muss möglich sein. Die bestehende Gesetzgebung lässt das teilweise bereits zu, muss aber so angepasst werden, das frühzeitige Pensionierungen oder ein späterer Rentenantritt ohne Benachteiligungen oder administrative Schikanen möglich sind.
