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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 lifting of the ceiling leads to the strengthening of the better position of marriage compared to other life models.
Die Aufhebung der Plafonierung führt zur Verstärkung der Besserstellung der Ehe gegenüber anderen Lebensmodellen.
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 (baby boomers) 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 (geburtenschwache Jahrgänge) 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
Parental leave of equal length for both parents - provided both are employed - is to be advocated.
Eine gleich lange Elternzeit für beide Eltern - sofern beide erwerbstätig sind - ist zu befürworten.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Sufficiently high vaccination rates should be achieved through persuasion rather than coercion.
Genügend hohe Impfraten sollen durch Überzeugungsarbeit und nicht durch Zwang erreicht 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
It would be better to gradually reduce the sugar content in food and beverages, with the involvement of all producers and wholesalers.
Besser wäre eine schrittweise Reduktion des Zuckergehaltes in Nahrungsmitteln und Süssgetränken, unter Einbezug aller Produzenten und Grossverteiler.
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 and personal responsibility should also be strengthened in the area of health care costs. However, the affordability of health insurance premiums is reaching its limits. In view of the high burden on households, a targeted expansion of premium reductions is necessary.
Das Verursacherprinzip und die Eigenverantwortung sind grundsätzlich auch bei den Gesundheitskosten zu stärken. Die Tragbarkeit der KK-Prämien stösst jedoch an Grenzen. Angesichts der hohen Belastung der Haushalte ist gleichzeitig ein gezielter Ausbau der Prämienverbilligung nötig.
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 the event of a crisis, the federal government and the cantons must be able to quickly resort to temporary measures. It is not expedient to proactively restrict the scope for action.
Bund und Kantone müssen im Krisenfall rasch auf temporäre Massnahmen zurückgreifen können. Es ist nicht zielführend, den Handlungsspielraum proaktiv einzuschränken.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 school is to be supported. However, this must be geared to the individual needs of the children. Along with this, the quality of the school system and teaching competence must be strengthened.
Die integrative Schule ist zu unterstützen. Diese muss aber auf die individuellen Bedürfnisse der Kinder ausgerichtet sein. Damit einhergehend muss die Qualität des Schulsystems und der Lehrkompetenz gestärkt 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
A standardization of the requirements would be in favor, an increase rather not.
Eine Vereinheitlichung der Anforderungen wäre zu befürworten, eine Erhöhung eher nicht.
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 - throughout life. We must promote the talents and potential of all children so that every child has the opportunity to lead a self-determined life. That is why we must support the targeted expansion of support for students from socially disadvantaged families, e.g. in early childhood education.
Jeder Mensch soll sein volles Potential ausschöpfen können – und das ein Leben lang. Wir müssen die Talente und Potenziale aller Kinder fördern, damit jedes Kind die Möglichkeit auf ein selbstbestimmtes Leben bekommt. Deshalb ist ein gezielter Ausbau der Förderung von Schüler:innen aus sozial benachteiligten Familien zu unterstützen, z.B. in der frühkindlichen Förderung.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Soft drugs such as cannabis should be legalized, taking into account the protection of minors, and taxed in the same way as tobacco and alcohol.
Weiche Drogen wie Cannabis sollen unter Berücksichtigung des Jugendschutzes legalisiert und analog zu Tabak und Alkohol besteuert werden.
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
We want to live in a pluralistic society in which individual freedom and personal responsibility enjoy a very high priority. This freedom may only be restricted if the freedom of third parties is curtailed or they are threatened with harm.
Wir wollen in einer pluralistischen Gesellschaft leben, in der die individuelle Freiheit und die Eigenverantwortung einen sehr hohen Stellenwert geniessen. Diese Freiheit darf nur dann eingeschränkt werden, wenn die Freiheit Dritter beschnitten wird oder ihnen Schaden droht.
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
The equality of men and women and of all family and life models as well as equal opportunities must be taken for granted and ensured. Discrimination and racism have no place in our society.
Die Gleichstellung von Mann und Frau und aller Familien- und Lebensmodelle sowie die Chancengerechtigkeit ist selbstverständlich und sicherzustellen. Diskriminierung und Rassismus haben in unserer Gesellschaft keinen Platz.
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 view of the structural deficit, tax cuts are not appropriate in the current fiscal situation. However, tax reform, such as individual taxation, is to be advocated.
Angesichts des strukturellen Defizits sind Steuersenkungen in der aktuellen Finanzlage nicht angebracht. Eine Steuerreform, wie z.B. die Individualbesteuerung, ist jedoch zu befürworten.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Individual taxation offers decisive advantages for the economy and equality. Switzerland's labor force potential is far from being fully exploited. The disproportionately high tax burden on second earnings eats away a large part of the additional income. This exacerbates the shortage of skilled workers.
Die Individualbesteuerung bietet entscheidende Vorteile für die Wirtschaft und die Gleichstellung. Das Arbeitskräftepotential der Schweiz wird bei Weitem nicht ausgeschöpft. Die überproportional hohe Steuerbelastung auf dem Zweitverdienst frisst einen grossen Teil des zusätzlichen Einkommens weg. Das verstärkt den Fachkräftemangel.
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
It depends on the design of such a tax: Will other taxes be reduced/adjusted in return? Will consideration be given to SMEs?
Es kommt auf die Ausgestaltung einer solchen Steuer an: Werden im Gegenzug andere Steuern reduziert/angepasst? Wird Rücksicht auf KMU genommen?
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
A nationwide minimum wage would unnecessarily restrict the flexible Swiss labor market and the social partnership and thus jeopardize the competitiveness of Switzerland as a workplace.
Ein flächendeckender Mindestlohn würde den flexiblen Schweizer Arbeitsmarkt und die Sozialpartnerschaft unnötig einschränken und damit die Konkurrenzfähigkeit des Werkplatzes Schweiz gefährden.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
In principle, full liberalization of the electricity market is to be supported. However, the timing of its introduction is important. Within the framework of the revision of the Energy Act and Electricity Supply Act (the so-called "jacket decree"), which is being dealt with in parliament, the complete opening of the market is not opportune because of the risk of a political crash. A small liberalization has been achieved via the local electricity communities (LEG).
Grundsätzlich ist die vollständige Liberalisierung des Strommarkts zu befürworten. Wichtig ist aber der Zeitpunkt der Einführung. Im Rahmen der Revision des Energiegesetzes und Stromversorgungsgesetzes (sog. «Mantelerlasses»), welche im Parlament behandelt wird, ist die vollständige Marktöffnung wegen der politischen Absturzfahr nicht opportun. Eine kleine Liberalisierung ist über die lokalen Elektrizitätsgemeinschaften (LEG) gelungen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
First and foremost, traffic should be avoided, and secondly, the shift to more efficient modes of transport such as cycling, walking and public transport should be encouraged.
In erster Linie soll Verkehr vermieden, in zweiter die Verlagerung auf effizientere Verkehrsmittel wie den Velo- und Fussverkehr sowie den öffentlichen Verkehr gefördert werden.
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 ban is included in the Paris Agreement's goal of being climate-neutral by 2050. If we assume that cars have a useful life of around fifteen years, a sales ban from 2035 is the logical consequence.
Das Verbot ist im Ziel des Pariser Abkommens, bis 2050 klimaneutral zu sein, inkludiert. Wenn wir davon ausgehen, dass Autos eine Nutzungsdauer von ungefähr fünfzehn Jahren haben, ist ein Verkaufsverbot ab 2035 die logische Konsequenz.
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
To ensure that our descendants can also develop freely in their lives, we have a duty to leave them neither ecological nor financial legacies. We want to achieve this primarily with incentives and only where not otherwise possible with regulations and prohibitions.
Damit sich auch unsere Nachkommen in ihrem Leben frei entfalten können, stehen wir in der Pflicht, ihnen weder ökologische noch finanzielle Altlasten zu hinterlassen. Das wollen wir in erster Linie mit Anreizen und nur wo nicht anders möglich mit Vorschriften und Verboten erreichen.
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
Increased use of hydropower is altering water bodies and disrupting habitats. The The effects of hydropower utilization are usually not reversible. Careful consideration is therefore needed when intervening in nature in this way. Watercourses, areas or reservoirs that have already been built up should be further developed as a matter of priority.
Die verstärkte Nutzung der Wasserkraft verändert Gewässer und unterbricht Lebensräume. Die Auswirkungen der Wasserkraftnutzung sind meist nicht reversibel. Es braucht deshalb eine sorgfältige Abwägung bei solchen Eingriffen in die Natur. Bereits verbaute Gewässer, Gebiete oder Stauseen sollen prioritär weiter ausgebaut 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The nuclear energy discussion is picking up speed again in certain circles. At the present time and for the next 20-30 years, there is no way around a consistent conversion of our energy supply to renewable energies. In the longer term, the Green Liberals set clear safety conditions that a future nuclear energy technology would have to meet.
Die Kernenergiediskussion nimmt in gewissen Kreisen wieder Fahrt auf. Zum heutigen Zeitpunkt und für die nächsten 20-30 Jahre führt kein Weg an einem konsequenten Umbau unserer Energieversorgung hin zu erneuerbaren Energien vorbei. In der längerfristigen Perspektive setzen die Grünliberalen klare sicherheitstechnische Bedingungen, die eine zukünftige Atomenergietechnologie erfüllen müsste.
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
The public service offering in its current form can also be implemented alternatively. The decisive factor is the service and not the method of delivery.
Das Service-Public-Angebot in der heutigen Form kann auch alternativ umgesetzt werden. Entscheidend ist der Service und nicht die Art der Erbringung.
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
It depends on the design (green power vs. dirty power, ensuring social compatibility, etc.). In principle, such an approach is welcome.
Es kommt auf die Ausgestaltung an (Grüner Strom vs. Dreckstrom, Gewährleistung der Sozialverträglichkeit etc.). Grundsätzlich ist ein solcher Ansatz begrüssenswert.
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
The aim is to strengthen biodiversity and create the basis for effective policy measures to protect it.
Es gilt, die Artenvielfalt zu stärken und die Basis für effektive politische Massnahmen zum Schutz der Biodiversität zu schaffen.
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Hardly any other OECD country has such a poor state of biodiversity as Switzerland. Therefore, Switzerland needs an effective policy that stops the loss of biodiversity and focuses on the restoration of lost ecosystems.
Kaum ein anderes OECD-Land hat so einen schlechten Zustand der Biodiversität wie die Schweiz. Deshalb braucht die Schweiz eine wirksame Politik, welche den Verlust an Biodiversität stoppt und auf die Wiederherstellung von verlorenen Ökosystemen setzt.
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
In Switzerland, 14,000 tons of plastic still end up in the environment every year. If reusable systems and industry solutions do not bear fruit, we will have to discuss bans or depot fees.
Noch immer gelangen in der Schweiz pro Jahr 14’000 Tonnen Plastik in die Umwelt. Wenn Mehrwegsysteme und Branchenlösungen nicht fruchten, werden wir über Verbote oder Depot-Gebühren diskutieren müssen.
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]

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The fifth generation of the mobile communications standard is a logical consequence of previous developments. Like each of the previous generations from 2G to 4G, 5G brings great progress in the efficiency and use of mobile communications. Radiation exposure and energy consumption - especially that of the user's own smartphone - can thus be reduced.
Die fünfte Generation des Mobilfunkstandards ist eine logische Konsequenz der bisherigen Entwicklung. Wie jede der vorangegangenen Generationen von 2G bis 4G bringt auch 5G grosse Fortschritte bei der Effizienz und der Nutzung des Mobilfunks. Die Strahlenbelastung und der Energieverbrauch – insbesondere die des eigenen Smartphones – können so gesenkt werden.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
In the event of market failure, the Cartel Act must be applied consistently. Regulation in advance, which can have a negative impact (e.g. inhibition of innovation), must be rejected.
Bei Marktversagen muss das Kartellgesetz konsequent angewendet werden. Eine Regulierung auf Vorrat, die sich negativ auswirken kann (bspw. Innovationshemmung), ist abzulehnen.
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
Media diversity, quality journalism and regional media are central to a direct, federal and multilingual democracy like Switzerland. There is no doubt that innovations are needed in media funding, but not this kind of clear-cutting.
Die Medienvielfalt, Qualitätsjournalismus und regionale Medien sind zentral für eine direkte, föderale und mehrsprachige Demokratie wie die Schweiz. Bei der Medienförderung braucht es unbestritten Innovationen, aber nicht diesen Kahlschlag.
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 should be able to influence the decisions that affect their future (e.g. retirement provision, environmental, climate and energy policy) from an early age.
Junge Menschen sollen schon früh die Entscheidungen mitbeeinflussen können, welche ihre Zukunft betreffen (z.B. Altersvorsorge, Umwelt-, Klima- und Energiepolitik).

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
In the event of a violation of international law, there is a need not only for good offices and humanitarian aid but also for reform of the rules governing the re-export of military equipment.
Im Fall einer Verletzung des Völkerrechts braucht es nebst den guten Diensten und der humanitären Hilfe auch eine Reform der Regeln für die Wiederausfuhr von Rüstungsgütern.

Comment
Demographic change makes it necessary to adjust the pension system. The redistribution from employees to pensioners must be reduced and, at the same time, the pension level must be maintained as far as possible. To achieve this, the retirement age must be adjusted and made more flexible, taking into account industry-specific conditions.
Durch den demografischen Wandel ist eine Anpassung des Systems der Altersvorsorge nötig. Die Umverteilung von Arbeitnehmenden zu Rentner:innen ist zu reduzieren und zugleich das Rentenniveau möglichst zu erhalten. Dafür sind eine Anpassung und Flexibilisierung des Rentenalters unter Berücksichtigung der branchenspezifischen Verhältnisse nötig.
