Welfare state & family

| 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
The ever-increasing premiums are becoming more and more difficult to pay for people with lower incomes. So these people need our support.
Die ständig wachsenden Prämien werden für schlechter verdienende Leute immer schwieriger zu bezahlen. Dahre benötigen diese Leute unsere Unterstützung.
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
The pension system is complex and complicated. Double-income households have an advantage over single ones because their expenses are often less. Therefore, a cap is understandable. However, the current system, in which marriages are treated differently from non-married partnerships, is in need of overhaul.
Das Rentensystem ist komplex und kompliziert. Doppelt verdienende Haushalte haben einen Vorteil gegenüber alleinstehenden, da ihre Ausgaben oft weniger sind. Daher ist eine Plafonierung nachvollziehbar. Allerdings ist das heutige System, in dem Ehen anders behandelt werden als nicht-verheiratete Partnerschaften überholungsbedürftig.
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

Health
Introduce compulsory vaccination for children

Impfen ist mir sehr wichtig. Aber es muss freiwillig bleiben.
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
The higher the deductible rate, the lower the premiums. However, structures must be in place to prevent someone from falling into poverty for health reasons.
Je höher die Franchise ist, desto günsitger werden die Prämien. Allerdings müssen Strukturen vorhanden sein, die verhindern, dass jemand aus gesundheitlichen Gründen in Armut gerät.
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 a crisis, the federal government and the cantons must have the possibility to act quickly. Of course, within a controlled framework and the parliament should have the possibility to take corrective action.
In einer Krise müssen der Bund und Kantone die möglichkeit haben schnell zu handeln. Natürlich in einem kontrollierten Rahmen und das Parlament soll die Möglichkeit haben, korrektiv einzuwirken.
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
Healthcare is too important to be left to the free market alone.
Das Gesundheitswesen ist zu wichtig um es allein dem freien Markt zu überlassen.
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
Weaker children also deserve a good education. However, it must also be possible to address the needs of the "stronger" children.
Schwächere Kinder haben auch eine gute Bildung verdient. Allerdings muss auch auf die Bedürfnisse der "stärkeren" Kinder eingegangen 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Education should not be dependent on the wealth of parents.
Die Bildung darf nicht abhängig vom Wohlstand der Eltern sein.
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
Today it is often difficult to become a naturalized citizen. Decent people who want to become naturalized should not have extra obstacles put in their way.
Heute ist es oft schwierig sich einbürgern zu lassen. Anständigen Leuten, welche sich einbürgern lassen möchten, sollten nicht extra Hindernisse in den Weg gelegt werden.

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I would rather support that foreigners who have been living in Switzerland for such a long time would take Swiss citizenship. Therefore, I prefer a facilitated naturalization procedure.
Ich würde es eher befürworten, dass Ausländer/-innen, welche seit so langer Zeit in der Schweiz wohnen, die schweizer Staatsbürgerschaft annehmen würden. Daher bevorzuge ich ein erleichtertes Einbürgerungsverfahren.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Many people have smoked pot more or less regularly in their youth. It makes no sense that the consumption of cannabis is illegal. Legalization can also counteract the black market and ensure the quality of cannabis.
Viele Leute haben in ihrer Jugendzeit mehr oder weniger regelmässig gekifft. Es macht keinen Sinn, dass der Konsum von Cannabis illegal ist. Durch eine Legalisierung kann auch dem Schwarzmarkt entgegengewirkt werden und die Qualität des Cannabis kann gewährleistet werden.

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Female and male do not fit all people. Sticking to two genders out of tradition is no longer appropriate. With the introduction of a third or a non-defined gender, the reality would be better represented.
Weiblich und Männlich passt nicht auf alle Menschen. Aus Tradition an zwei Geschlechtern festzuhalten ist nicht mehr Zeitgemäss. Mit der Einführung eines dritten oder einem nicht-definierten Geschlecht würde die Realität besser dargestellt.
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?

|---|---|---|---|
Finances & taxes

Do you support tax cuts at the federal level over the next four years?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
With the partnership models possible today (marriage, cohabitation, etc.), it no longer makes sense for married couples to be taxed differently than other people
Es macht mit den heute möglichen Partnerschaftsmodellen (Ehe, Konkubinat, etc.) keinen Sinn mehr, dass Ehepaare anders besteuert werden als andere Leute

Would you support the introduction of a national inheritance tax on all inheritances over one million Swiss francs? [BePart question]

Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
An expansion merely shifts the problems of high traffic volumes. Therefore, I do not believe that expanding heavily trafficked highway sections would be a sustainable solution.
Ein Ausbau verschiebt lediglich die Probleme der hohen Verkehrsaufkommen. Daher glaube ich nicht, dass ein Ausbau stark befahrener Autobahnabschnitte eine nachhaltige Lösung wäre.

Should Switzerland ban the registration of new passenger cars with internal combustion engines starting in 2035?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Incentives and target agreements are to be preferred. However, depending on the situation, I would not completely rule out restrictions.
Anreize und Zielvereinbarungen sind zu bevorzugen. Allerdings würde ich je nach Situation Einschränkungen nicht vollständig ausschliessen.
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
Landscape protection has not provided for renewable energy. Therefore, depending on the situation, it would make sense to relax the regulations.
Der Landschaftsschutz hat die erneuerbaren Energien nicht vorgesehen. Daher wäre es je nach Situation sinnvoll, die Vorschriften zu lockern.

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

Comment
Young people grow from the expectations and duties they receive. That's why I think lowering the voting age makes sense.

Comment
Most of us are living longer today than 40 years ago. Therefore, we probably can't avoid raising the retirement age. However, it should be possible to retire earlier without penalty in the case of poor health or physically demanding jobs.
Die meisten von uns leben heute länger als noch vor 40 Jahren. Daher kommen wir wohl nicht drum rum das Rentenalter anzuheben. Allerdings sollte es bei schlechter Gesundheit oder körperlich anstrengenden Jobs möglich sein ohne Strafe früher in Rente gehen zu dürfen.
