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
Das ist der falsche Ansatz. Man muss zwingend auf der Kostenseite ansetzen. Ein Mittel gegen die stetige Kostenexplosion wäre die Kostenbremse-Initiative der Mitte.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Eigentlich schon, denn nur so stoppen wir die unfaire Umverteilung von Jung zu Alt.
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
Ich finde, dass die 16 Wochen heute bereits sehr gut und grosszügig sind. Eine Erhöhung auf mind. 20 Wochen ist definitiv zu viel.
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
Grundsätzlich bin ich gegen zu starken Markteingriff. Und zudem ist die Förderung des gemeinnützigen Wohnungsbaus eine kantonale und/oder kommunale Aufgabe.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Eine allfällige Erhöhung würde denn auch eine allfällige höhere Subvention bedeuten. Der Ansatz zur Kostensenkung im Gesundheitsbereich muss ein anderer sein.
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
Durch Notrecht ist bereits heute Vieles möglich. Hier braucht es keine Änderung.
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
Obwohl die Gesundheitsversorgung kantonal geregelt ist, müssen medizinische Spezial-Kompetenzen nicht überall angeboten werden. Es gilt offen zu planen, wo was angeboten wird. Nicht jedes Spital soll alles anbieten. So können Spezialitäten professionell gebündelt, dem Fachkräftemangel entgegengewirkt und Kosten gesenkt werden. So gesehen ist eine überkantonale Zusammenarbeit zwingend notwendig.
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
Natürlich! Auch für die anderen Schülern ist es für die Entwicklung ihrer Sozialkompetenz enorm wichtig, dass die Regelklassen divers bleiben.
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
Nein, wieso? Zudem ist das nicht Sache des Bundes. In unserem dualen Schulsystem stehen Gymnasial- und Berufsausbildung im Wettbewerb. Und das ist auch gut so.
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
Ich denke nur so kann man die Bildungsschere zukünftig verkleinern.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Wir haben in vielen Bereichen einen Fachkräftemangel. Wir brauchen notgedrungen eine Erhöhung der Kontingente.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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]

|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Jeder soll selbst über sein Leben entscheiden dürfen.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Nur die Sexualität alleine ist kein Grund nicht gleichgestellt zu sein.
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
Es kommt wie so oft auch auf den Zeitpunkt an. Momentan ist das vielleicht nicht angebracht. Denn nach COVID und mitten im Krieg steigen überall die Ausgaben und auch die Bedürfnisse an den Bund.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Der Ansatz, dass jeder Person für sich selbst die Steuern ausfüllt, ist eigentlich interessant. Wobei dies zu viel mehr administrativem Aufwand bei der Kontrolle der Steuererklärungen führen wird.
Introduce a national inheritance tax
Would you support the introduction of a national inheritance tax on all inheritances over one million Swiss francs? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Das ist kein mehrheitsfähiger Vorschlag.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Der Finanzausgleich schafft Zusammenhalt.
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
Unter 4'000 Franken kann man nicht ohne Subventionen und anderen Unterstützungen lebensgerecht in der Schweiz leben.
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
Wir haben nach dem erzwungenen Niedergang der Credit Suisse gesehen, dass Regulierungen notwendig sind. Trotzdem muss man auch hier aufpassen, dass man nicht für alle dieselben Regeln aufstellt. Die Unterscheidung zwischen international und national tätigen Finanzdienstleistern ist notwendig.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Ich bin grundsätzlich für jegliche Art der Liberalisierung! Wir leiden zu sehr unter immer neueren Vorschriften und Normen. Eine Entschlackung ist hier dringend notwendig.
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
Bei grösseren Firmen muss heute ein Lohngleichheitsanalyse gemacht werden. Diese Analyse könnte man ausweiten.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Nachfrage und Angebot müssen auch hier spielen.
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
Wahrscheinlich wird es so sein, dass die Hersteller dies bis zu diesem Datum sowieso umsetzen werden.
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
Wobei es sicherlich Beides braucht.
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
Vor allem das Verbandsbeschwerderecht sollte diesbezüglich gelockert werden.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Wo die Nachfrage da ist, ja. Wo es aber keine oder nur eine geringe Nachfrage gibt, nicht.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Nature conservation
Making provisions for the protection of large predators more flexible
Are you in favor of further relaxing the protection regulations for large predators (lynx, wolf, bear)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Grossraubtiere gehören nicht auf unsere Alpen.
Direct payments for farms

|---|---|---|---|
Introduction of stricter rules on the protection of farm animals

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Die heutige Gesetzgebung reicht völlig aus.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Heute gibt es kompostierbare Becher und Geschirr. Grossveranstaltungen können nicht immer auf Plastik verzichten. Macht es Sinn, hunderte Kilometer mit dem dreckigen Geschirr zu fahren um es dort zu waschen und wieder zurückzubringen? Dies ist ein ökologischer Blödsinn. Wie gesagt: heute gibt es ökologische Alternativen. Diese gilt es verpflichtend einzusetzen.
More sustainable use of electronic devices
Are you in favour of government measures to make the use of electronic devices more sustainable (e.g., right to repair, extension of warranty period, minimum guaranteed period for software updates)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Natürlich. Es kann nicht sein, dass Geräte bereits beim Kauf ein Ablaufdatum besitzen. Auch hier gilt es die Kreislaufwirtschaft entsprechend zu schliessen.
Democracy, Media & Digitization
Mobile phone network (5G)
Should the Swiss mobile network be equipped throughout the country with the latest technology (currently 5G standard)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Digitizing public services
Should the federal government be given additional powers in the area of digitization of government services in order to be able to impose binding directives and standards on the cantons?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Wir brauchen keine 26 Einzellösungen. Hier muss der Bund die Vorgaben machen, die dann die Kantone umzusetzen haben.
Strengthening regulation of big internet platforms
Are you in favor of stronger regulation of the major Internet platforms (i.e., transparency rules on algorithms, increased liability for content, combating disinformation)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Soweit das möglich ist. Durch VPN kann man die Schweizer Gesetzgebung umgehen. Wichtig wäre hier wahrscheinlich eine gesamteuropäische Regelung.
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
Klar nein, ich bin Mitglied Allianz Pro Medienvielfalt und setze mich für eine starke SRG ein.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Man muss sich davon aber nicht erhoffen, dass die grosse Masse an Jugendlichen davon profitieren werden. Aber die 16jährigen sollen über ihre direkte Zukunft mitbestimmen dürfen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Security & military

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Re-export of Swiss weapons
Should the Federal Council be allowed to authorize other states to re-export Swiss weapons in cases of a war of aggression in violation of international law (e.g., the attack on Ukraine)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Unbedingt. Das tangiert die Schweizer Neutralität nicht. Die Lex Ukraine wird das regeln. Ob eine generelle Lockerung des Kriegsmaterialgesetzes richtig ist, bezweifle ich. Man muss von Fall zu Fall, aber rasch im Parlament diskutieren und entscheiden dürfen.
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
Wir wollen keine Verhältnisse wie in China.

|---|---|---|---|
Foreign trade & foreign policy
Seek closer relations with the EU
Are you in favor of closer relations with the European Union (EU)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Der bilaterale Weg ist der richtige Weg. Wir sind im Herzen von Europa und gehören zu Europa - ohne jedoch der EU beizutreten.
Seek a comprehensive free trade agreement with the United States
Should Switzerland strive for a comprehensive free trade agreement (including agriculture) with the USA?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Grundsätzlich kann das für alle Branchen interessant sein.
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?

|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Jedes Land hat seine Gesetze. Und an diese Gesetze muss sich eine Firma, die im betreffenden Land wirtschaftet, auch halten.
Terminate bilateral agreements with the EU
Should Switzerland terminate the Bilateral Agreements with the EU and seek a free trade agreement without the free movement of persons?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Comment
Absolut nein. Wir brauchen eine neue, moderne Neutralität!
