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
Everyone should be able to afford insurance, because that is the most solidary way of shouldering high healthcare costs. What is not paid for through premiums is borne by the taxpayers anyway.
Alle sollten sich eine Versicherung leisten können, weil das die solidarischste Art ist, die hohen Gesundheitskosten zu schultern. Was nicht über die Prämien bezahlt wird, bleibt ohnehin bei den Steuerzahlenden hängen.
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
There is no need to put married couples in a better position than other civil statuses. It would be more important to ensure fair compensation for the care of children and relatives.
Es braucht keine Besserstellung von Eheleuten gegenüber anderen Zivilständen. Wichtiger wäre das faire Abgelten der Betreuung von Kindern und Angehörigen.
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
For decades, the excessively high conversion rate has caused a non-transparent redistribution in the second pillar. Young people and people with small pension assets, especially women, are paying the bill.
Der zu hohe Umwandlungssatz verursacht seit Jahrzehnten eine intransparente Umverteilung in der zweiten Säule. Die Zeche zahlen Junge und Personen mit kleinen Vorsorgevermögen, insbesondere Frauen.
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
A good bond between parents and child promotes the development of children. This benefits society afterwards and may cost something. Gender equality levels out opportunities on the labor market.
Eine gute Bindung zwischen Eltern und Kind fördert die Entwicklung der Kinder. Das kommt der Gesellschaft hinterher zu Gute und darf etwas kosten. Gleichstellung der Geschlechter nivelliert die Chancen auf dem Arbeitsmarkt.
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
More affordable housing does not come from more regulation, but from more active land use planning.
Mehr bezahlbarer Wohnraum entsteht nicht durch mehr Regulierung, sondern durch aktivere Raumplanung.
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
Coercion is counterproductive to confidence in vaccination. The scientific facts about vaccination are also convincing.
Zwang ist kontraproduktiv für das Vertrauen in die Impfung. Die wissenschaftlichen Fakten zu Impfungen vermögen auch so zu Überzeugen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Healthy nutrition does not have to be prescribed by the state. Transparent product information is enough.
Gesunde Ernährung muss nicht staatlich verordnet werden. Es reicht eine transparente Produkteinformation.
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
The polluter pays principle makes sense. At the same time, personal responsibility should be affordable for all income classes. At the same time, compensation is needed in the form of premium reductions.
Das Verursacherprinzip macht Sinn. Gleichzeitig soll die Eigenverantwortung für alle Einkommensklassen tragbar sein. Es braucht gleichzeitig einen Ausgleich über die Prämienverbilligung.
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
Switzerland sought a middle course during the pandemic. A preventive restriction of the scope of action for the future is not indicated.
Die Schweiz hat sich während der Pandemie um einen Mittelweg bemüht. Eine präventive Einschränkung des Handlungsspielraums für die Zukunft ist nicht angezeigt.
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
The cantonal special requests cost a lot. If more thought were given to cross-cantonal regions, costs could be saved without reducing quality. I consider such an overall view to be urgent!
Die kantonalen Sonderwünsche kosten viel. Wenn mehr in überkantonalen Regionen gedacht würde, könnten Kosten ohne Qualtitätsabbau gesprat werden. Ich erachte so eine Gesamtschau als dringend!
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
The integrative effect of the school is central so that every child has the opportunity for a self-determined life. However, it also requires the appropriate resources so that the individual needs of all children can actually be promoted.
Die integrative Wirkung der Schule ist zentral damit jedes Kind die Möglichkeit auf ein selbstbestimmtes Leben bekommt. Es braucht aber auch die entsprechenden Resourcen, damit individuellen Bedürfnisse aller Kinder tatsächlich gefördert werden können.
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
The high school graduation rate in Switzerland is rather low compared to the European average. In times of a shortage of skilled workers, we should not make education more difficult for the locals and then bring in the skilled workers from abroad. However, the Matura quota should be homogenized throughout Switzerland. Everyone deserves the same opportunities.
Die Maturitätsquote in der Schweiz ist im europäischen Druchschnitt eher tief. Wir sollten nicht in Zeiten des Fachkräftemangels den Einheimischen die Bildung erschweren und nachher die Fachkräfte aus dem Ausland holen. Die Maturitätsquote sollte aber schweizweit homogenisiert werden. Alle verdienen die gleichen Chancen.
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
Every person should be able to realize his or her full potential.
Jeder Mensch soll sein volles Potenzial ausschöpfen können.
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
Those who live here and want to integrate should be allowed to participate in our society.
Wer hier lebt und sich integrieren will, soll an unserer Gesellschaft teilhaben dürfen.
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
Switzerland is dependent on skilled workers. The goal should be to train them ourselves whenever possible. At the same time, it will need more people. No geographical restriction is necessary for this.
Die Schweiz ist auf Fachkräfte angewiesen. Ziel sollte sein, diese wann immer möglich selber auszubilden. Gleichzeitig wird es mehr Leute brauchen. Dafür ist keine geografische Einschränkung nötig.
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
Human rights in these centers could hardly be credibly guaranteed.
Die Menschenrechte in diesen Zentren könnte wohl kaum glaubwürdig garantiert werden.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Those who live here and want to integrate should be allowed to participate in our society. Those who can contribute also take on more responsibility.
Wer hier lebt und sich integrieren will, soll an unserer Gesellschaft teilhaben dürfen. Wer sich einbringen kann, übernimmt auch mehr Verantwortung.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This freedom should only be restricted if the freedom of third parties is curtailed.
Diese Freiheit soll nur dann eingeschränkt werden, wenn die Freiheit Dritter beschnitten wird.
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
Self-determination is humane.
Selbstbestimmung ist menschenwürdig.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Gender should only be recorded where it is at all relevant to the authorities.
Das Geschlecht sollte nur erfasst werden, wo es überhaupt für die Behörden von Relevanz ist.
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
It should not matter to the state what kind of partnership we live in. It is much more important whether someone raises children.
Für den Staat sollte es doch keine Rolle spielen in was für einer Partnerschaft wir leben. Viel wichtiger ist, ob jemand Kinder aufzieht.
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
Nationally, the structural deficit must be eliminated first. Much more important are tax reforms, such as e.g. individual taxation.
National gilt es erst das strukturelle Defizit zu beheben. Viel wichtiger sind Steuerreformen, wie z.B. die Individualbesteuerung.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The incentive for gainful employment should be the same for everyone.
Der Anreiz für Erwerbsarbeit sollte für alle gleich sein.
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
Inheritance rewards descent more than achievement and prevents everyone from realizing their full potential. However, there would have to be a suitable regulation for the change of generations in SMEs.
Erbschaft belohnt Abstammung mehr als Errungenschaft und verhindert, dass alle ihr Potential voll Ausschöpfen können. Es müsste aber eine geeignete Regelung für den Generationenwechsel in KMUs geben.
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
Excessive tax differentials lead to a segregation of income classes and this endangers social cohesion in Switzerland
Zu starke Steuerunterschiede führen zu einer Segregation der Einkommensklassen und das gefährdet den sozialen Zusammenhalt in der Schweiz
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
Minimum wage is unsuitable because it is far too rigid. For example, the purchasing power of CHF 4000 also depends on the place of residence.
Mindestlohn ist ungeeignet, da viel zu starr. Z.B. ist die Kaufkraft von CHF 4000 ja auch wohnortabhängig
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
Systemically relevant actually also means that an institution is too dominant. If competition is no longer effective, rules are needed to protect consumers. FINMA needs more enforcement power. Why do Swiss banks always pay the highest fines abroad, when they do the most damage to Switzerland's reputation?
Systemrelevant bedeutet eigentlich auch, dass ein Institut zu dominant ist. Wenn der Wettbewerb nicht mehr greift, braucht es Regeln zum Schutz der Konsumenten. Die FINMA braucht mehr Durchsetzungskraft. Wieso zahlen die Schweizer Banken die höchsten Bussen immer ins Ausland, wo sie doch die Reputation der Schweiz am meisten schädigen?
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
But no one should then complain when the price of electricity also rises.
Niemand soll dann aber jammern, wenn der Strompreis auch mal steigt.
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
Higher densities in the centers is the imperative if the rest of the landscape is still to be preserved. This also makes shorter (working) distances possible.
Höhere Dichten in den Zentren ist das Gebot, wenn der Rest der Landschaft noch erhalten werden soll. Dadurch werden auch kürzere (Arbeits-) Wege möglich.
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
Stricter controls in the sense of generally more transparency in wages. Even more important than controls are the right framework conditions for families. It should be possible for parents to share family work equally. This will equalize the career opportunities of the sexes.
Strengere Kontrollen im Sinn von allgemein mehr Transparenz bei den Löhnen. Noch wichtiger als Kontrolle sind die richtigen Rahmenbedingungen für Familien. Es sollte möglich sein, dass Eltern sich die Familienarbeit gleichmässig aufteilen können. Damit gleichen sich die Karrierechancen der Geschlechter an.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
More roads lead to more traffic. It is not capacity that must increase, but mobility behavior that must change. Currently, our mobility causes too high external costs.
Mehr Strassen führen zu mehr Verkehr. Nicht die Kapazität muss zunehmen, sondern das Mobilitätsverhalten soll sich verändern. Aktuell verursacht unsere Mobilität zu hohe externe Kosten.
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
The EU is leading the way. So let's create investment security for the Swiss market.
Die EU geht voran. Schaffen wir also Investitionssicherheit für den Schweizer Markt.
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
Bans and restrictions should be used very sparingly. But at some point, we also need clear decisions on which measures we want to afford as a society. We must then abide by such decisions.
Verbote und Einschränkungen nur sehr sparsam einsetzen. Aber irgendwann braucht es auch klare Entscheide, welche Massnahmen wir uns als Gesellschaft leisten wollen. An solche Entscheide müssen wir uns dann halten.
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
Loosened, yes, but not abolished. What good is a breathtaking landscape if it withers? However, good planning is needed. Priority should be given to exploiting the potential in settlement areas. After all, there should still be some unspoiled streams and high valleys in Switzerland in the future.
Gelockert ja, aber nicht abgeschafft. Was nützt uns eine atemberaubende Landschaft, wenn sie verdorrt? Jedoch braucht es eine gute Planung. Vorrangig sollte das Potential im Siedlungsraum ausgeschöpft werden. Denn auch in Zukunft soll es in der Schweiz noch einige unverbaute Bäche und Hochtäler geben.
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
Nuclear power does not exempt us from expanding renewable energy sources. However, there is no need for a dogmatic ban on nuclear energy. If the issue of final storage is resolved one day and the entire costs of construction, accident risk and dismantling are included in the price of electricity, it should also be possible to compare the costs and benefits of this technology with those of alternatives.
Atomstrom entbindet uns nicht vom Ausbau erneuerbarer Energiequellen. Ein dogmatisches Verbot der Atomenergie braucht es aber nicht. Sollte dereinst die Endlagerung gelöst sein und die gesamten Kosten von Bau, Unfallrisiko und Rückbau im Strompreis enthalten sein, sollte auch diese Technologie im Kosten/Nutzen mit Alternativen verglichen werden können.
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
This social contract makes Switzerland strong. However, the offer should be continuously adapted to modern needs.
Dieser gesellschaftliche Vertrag macht die Schweiz stark. Das Angebot soll aber fortlaufend an den modernen Bedraf angepasst werden.
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
Transparent costs lead to investments in the most urgent projects.

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
The protection of large carnivore populations must be a top priority in Switzerland. However, with increasing animal density, it must also be possible to adapt conflict resolution mechanisms.
Der Schutz der Grossraubtier-Populationen muss in der Schweiz höchste Priorität haben. Mit zunehmender Tierdichte müssen aber auch Konfliktlösungsmechanismen angepasst werden können.
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
If subsidies are to be provided, then at least they should be for the preservation of the environment.
Wenn schon Subventionen, dann wenigstens auch für den Erhalt der Umwelt.
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
Animals should be protected from market pressure to maximize profits
Tiere sollten vor dem Druck des Marktes zur Gewinnmaximierung geschützt werden
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
Biodiversity cannot be preserved with small areas. Nature needs space for dynamics and adaptation to the climate.
Biodiversität lässt sich nicht mit Kleinstflächen erhalten. Die Natur braucht Raum für Dynamik und Anpassung an das Klima.
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
The circular economy should be our ultimate goal. It is important to control the effect of legislation. Market-based solutions should be tried first. If they are not sufficient, bans are needed.
Die Kreislaufwirtschaft sollte unser oberstes Ziel sein. Wichtig ist die Wirkung der Gesetzgebung zu kontrollieren. Marktwirtschaftliche Lösungen sollen zuerst probiert werden. Wenn sie nicht ausreichen, braucht es Verbote.
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]

Re-export of Swiss weapons

Life expectancy is increasing, the rate of return is stagnating, we can only draw what we earn. The retirement age should be linked to the contribution years and life expectancy, the pension should be enough to live on.
Die Lebenserwartung steigt, die Rendite stagniert, wir können nur beziehen was wir erarbeiten. Das Rentenalter sollte an die Beitragsjahre und die Lebenserwartung gekoppelt werden, die Rente sollte zum Leben reichen.
