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
Besonders viele Familien und der Mittelstand im Allgemeinen kann die Prämienlast kaum mehr tragen. Dieser Schritt ist überfällig.
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
Diese Diskriminierung muss abgeschafft werden.
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
Ich bin gegen einen Ausbau. Die 16 Wochen sollen die Eltern so aufteilen können, wie sie wollen (Elternzeit).
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
Bezahlbarer Wohnruam reduziert die Gentrifizierung in Städten und vermeidet, dass Mittelständische von der Stadt wegziehen müssen. Diese Effekte gelten nicht nur für Zürich und Winterthur sondern auch für mittlere Städte im Kanton.
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
Weiterhin bei der bewährten Eigenverantwortung bleiben. Die Impfquoten sind zu beobachten und sollte die Anzahl der Nicht-Geimpften rückläufig sein müssen Massnahmen ergriffen werden.
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
Zucker ist erwiesenermassen sehr ungesund. Konsequenterweise müsste auch über eine Abgabe auf Fleisch etc nachgedacht werden. Anstatt eine Steuer ist eine Lenkungsabgabe, die das Geld an die Bevölkerung zurückverteilt sicher das bessere Mittel.
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
Im Gesundheitssystem bestehen kaum Sparanreize und es braucht auch eine direkte Beteiligung aller Versicherten. Weil eine Erhöhung der Franchise zu einer Zweiklassenmedizin führt, ist das aber das falsche Mittel.
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
Die Schweiz hat in Bewältigung der letzten Pandemie Augenmass walten lassen und mehr richtig und weniger Fehler gemacht als andere Staaten. Deshalb hat sich das System so bewährt und muss nicht angepasst werden.
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
In dieser Frage sind die Kantone zu klein. der Bund sollte über die Kantonsgrenzen hinweg die passende Verteilung der Spitäler sicherstellen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Es ist viel wichtiger, die Qualität und Anforderungen der Sek A Schulen zu verbessern, damit lernwillige Schülerinnen und Schüler auch in der Sek eine Perspektive haben. In zu vielen Sekschulen sind die Verhältnisse prekär!
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Alle Menschen sind gleich - unabhängig vom Pass. Wer sich einbürgern lassen will, soll trotzdem den Willen und die Fähigkeit zeigen, Teil unserer Gesellschaft zu sein und sich integrieren zu wollen.
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)?

|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Damit wird der Fachkräftemangel bekämpft.
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
Rechtsstaatlichkeit, Menschenwürde müssen in diesen Lagern garantiert werden. Das halte ich für ein sehr schwieriges Unterfangen, obwohl mit dieser Massnahme e die Schlepper-Industrie zu einem wesentlichen Teil eingedämmt werden könnte.
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
Ausländer haben die Möglichkeit sich einbürgern zu lassen. Dieser Weg ist ausreichend.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Comment
Eine Legalisierung halte ich für den kognitiven und gesundheitlichen Zustand unserer Bevölkerung für äusserst schädlich.
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
Es ist viel besser die Palliativmedizin stärker auszubauen und auf teils übertriebene ärztliche Eingriffe in den letzten Monaten zu verzichten.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Voraussetzung ist, dass es sich um das rein biologische Geschlecht handelt. Ein drittes Geschlecht nur aufgrund der Selbstwahrnehmung lehne ich klar ab, da dritte das auch nicht überprüfen können. Dann betrifft es eine sehr kleine Minderheit aber für diese Personen kann das wichtig sein.
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
Die Adoption von Kindern finde ich ein heikles Thema, weil es ein Kind betrifft, das ja nicht auswählen kann, bei welchen Eltern - egal ob gleichgeschlechtlich oder heterosexuell leben will. Ansonsten sehe absolut keinen Grund gegen eine Gleichstellung.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Das würde einmal mehr Ehepaare benachteiligen und dient dazu, beide Paarteile in den wirtschaftlichen Erwerb zu drängen. Ehepaare sollen aber 50/50 besteuert werden.
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
Die Steuer müsste stark progressiv ausgerichtet sein und besonders die stärksten Vermögenden, aber nicht den oberen Mittelstand betreffen. 1 Million finde ich zu tief angesetzt.
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 |

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
Es sind Massnahme zu erlassen, die für die Bankkunden zu weniger Kosten führen. Z.b. Maximalvorschriften zu Gebührensätzen, Gewinne aus dem Hypothekengeschäft etc. Davon profitiert die Bevölkerung mehr
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
Das führt eher zu höheren Preisen für die Privathaushalte, als wenn Stromanbieter einen staatlichen Leistungsauftrag erhalten für sie unattraktive Kleinkund*innen zu beliefern.
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 |

Die Kontrolle ist gut, weitere Kontrollen ist wahrscheinlich auch mit höherem Aufwand der KMU verbunden.

|---|---|---|---|
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
Die Entwicklung des Automobilsektors ist noch abzuwarten. Es muss zuerst geprüft werden, dass Versorgungssicherheit bezgl Elektrizität bei einer Vollelektrifizierung des motorisierten Individualverkehrs umsetzbar ist. Ich schätze in ca 2-3 müsste dieses Thema aktiv angegangen werden, jetzt ist es noch zu früh
Achieve climate targets through incentives

Comment
Eine Aufhebung des Bauverbots für AKW ist momentan zwecklos, da deren Wirtschaftlichkeit nicht gegeben ist und zudem: Das Bewilligungsverfahren für ein AKW wäre wahrscheinlich extrem lang.

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
Für die Landwirtschaft sind die Tierschutzbestimmungen heute schon sehr hoch. Es bringt nichts, wenn Konsumenten Actionen und Discount-Lebensmittel aus dem fernen Ausland beziehen und die Produkte der CH-Landwirtschaft nicht mehr bezahlbar sind.

Grundsätzlich ist eine Erhöhung wichtig und kaum abzuwenden. Die letzte Anpassung liegt aber erst gerade zurück. Daher ist ein kurzer Marschhalt geboten!
