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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
I support the introduction of parental leave. This is usually associated with an expansion of the total number of weeks. However, I can also imagine a model in which the existing 16 (14+2) weeks are made more flexible so that mother and father can divide the time freely.
Ich befürworte die Einführung einer Elternzeit. Diese ist in der Regel mit einem Ausbau der gesamten Anzahl Wochen verbunden. Ich kann mir aber auch ein Modell vorstellen, in dem die bestehenden 16 (14+2) Wochen flexibilisiert werden, sodass sich Mutter und Vater die Zeit frei aufteilen können.
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
It is important that the federal government, the cantons and the municipalities promote non-profit housing. But it is even more important that regular checks are carried out to ensure that people in subsidized housing continue to have the right to live under these conditions. When financial circumstances improve, people should have to enter the regular housing market.
Es ist wichtig, dass der Bund, die Kantone und Gemeinden den gemeinnützigen Wohnungsbau fördern. Noch wichtiger ist aber, dass regelmässig kontrolliert wird, dass die Personen in einer subventionierten Wohnung weiterhin das Anrecht haben, zu diesen konditionen zu wohnen. Wenn sich die finanziellen Verhältnisse verbessern, soll man sich auf den regulären Wohnungsmarkt begeben müssen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Sugar is an addictive substance and should be regarded as such. The sugar tax has led to a reduction of the sugar content in e.g. sweet drinks in other countries. The revenues from the sugar tax should be redistributed 100% to the population. In this way, the state quota remains neutral and the "polluter pays" principle is strengthened (higher sugar consumption leads to higher health costs for the general public).
Zucker ist ein Suchtmittel und soll auch als solches angesehen werden. Die Zuckersteuer hat in anderen Ländern dazu geführt, dass sich der Zuckergehalt in z.B. Süssgetränken reduziert hat. Die Erträge aus der Zuckersteuer sollten zu 100% an die Bevölkerung rückverteilt werden. So bleibt die Staatsquote neutral und das Verursacher:innenprinzip wird gestärkt (höherer Zuckerkonsum führt zu höheren Gesundheitskosten für die Allgemeinheit).
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
I am in favor of strengthening the "polluter pays" principle. At the same time, it is important to expand premium reductions in a targeted manner so that everyone can afford good healthcare.
Ich bin für eine Stärkung des Verursacher:innenprinzips. Gleichzeitig ist es wichtig, die Prämienverbilligung gezielt auszubauen, sodass sich jede:r eine gute Gesundheitsversorgung leisten kann.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Small-scale hospital planning creates a great many inefficiencies. In order to reduce health care costs, it would make sense to establish health regions in cooperation with the cantons, in which care can be provided jointly and efficiently.
Die kleinräumige Spitalplanung sorgt für sehr viele Ineffizienzen. Um die Gesunheitskosten zu reduzieren, wäre es sinnvoll, in der Zusammenarbeit mit den Kantonen Gesundheitsregionen zu errichten, in denen die Versorgung gemeinsam und effizient sichergestellt werden kann.
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
I support the inclusive school. Nevertheless, it is important to address the special needs of children with learning difficulties.
Ich untertütze die integrative Schule. Es ist nichtsdestotrotz wichtig, auf die speziellen Befürfnisse von Kindern mit Lernschwierigkeiten einzugehen.
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 requirements should be standardized, but not necessarily increased. I think it is important that the dual education system is strengthened and that apprenticeships are socially upgraded compared to grammar schools.
Die Anforderungen sollen vereinheitlicht werden, aber nicht zwingend erhöht. Wichtig finde ich, dass das duale Bildungssystem gesärkt wird und die Lehre gegenüber des Gymasiums gesellschaftlich aufgewertet wird.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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

Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I would prefer an abolition of the gender entry.
Ich würde eine Abschaffung des Geschlechtseintrags bevorzugen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 the current financial situation, tax cuts are not appropriate. But I am also against tax increases.
In der aktuellen Finanzlage sind Steuersenkungen nicht angebracht. Ich bin aber auch gegen Steuererhöhungen.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
I think there are good arguments for and against an inheritance tax. The argument in favor is that existing inequalities will be perpetuated without an inheritance tax. Implementation is particularly problematic with regard to assets from companies or real estate. I think it is important that the state ratio remains neutral if an inheritance tax were to be introduced. However, instead of an inheritance tax, I would rather prefer an increase in wealth tax over income tax.
Ich finde, dass es gute Argumente für und gegen eine Erbschaftsstuer gibt. Dafür spricht, dass bestehende Ungleichheiten ohne Erbschaftssteuer weitergeführt werden. Problematisch ist die Umsetzung besonders in Bezug auf Vermögenswerte aus Firmen oder Immobilien. Wichtig finde ich, dass die Staatsquote neutral bleibt, falls eine Erbschaftssteuer eingeführt würde. Ich würde statt einer Erbschaftssteuer aber eher eine Erhöhung der Vermögenssteuer gegenüber der Einkommenssteuer bevorzugen.
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
With the implementation of the OECD tax reform and the 75/25 distribution, the inequalities between the cantons will become even greater. This is to be counteracted.
Mit der Umsetzung der OECD-Steuerreform und der Verteilung 75/25 werden die Ungleichheiten zwischen den Kantonen noch grösser. Dem soll gegengesteuert werden.
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
I think that CLAs are a much better way of responding to the needs of the industries. In my opinion, existing social partnerships are a better instrument than an across-the-board minimum wage.
Ich finde, dass man über GAVs deutlich besser auf die Bedürfnisse der Branchen eingehen kann. Bestehende Sozialpartnerschaften sind meiner Meinung nach das bessere Instrument als einen flächendekenden Mindestlohn.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I support the principle of equal pay for equal work, but I believe that wage negotiation is a matter between employee and employer. Because the remuneration should always be a reflection of the performance and this can be better judged by employer and employee and makes control by the state very difficult.
Ich unterstütze den Grundsatz des gleichen Lohns für gleiche Arbeit, bin aber der Ansicht, dass die Lohnverhandlung eine Sache zwischen Arbeitnehmer und -geber ist. Denn die Vergütung soll immer ein Abbild der Leistung sein und das können Arbeitgeber und -nehmer besser beurteilen und macht eine Kontrolle durch den Staat sehr schwierig.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 are more important, but prohibitions are also needed.
Man sollte eher auf Anreize setzen, es braucht aber auch Verbote.
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
There must always be a balancing of interests. However, if great potential for electricity production can be used against minor restrictions on environmental and landscape protection, this should be possible. On the other hand, there is also a need for nature reserves in which animal habitats are preserved and biodiversity is promoted.
Es muss immer eine Interessensabwägung stattfinden. Wenn aber grosses Potenzial für Stromproduktion gegenüber kleineren Einschränkungen des Umwelt- und Lanschaftsschutzes genutzt werden kann, soll das möglich sein. Auf der anderen Seite braucht es auch Naturschutzgebiete, in denen Tiere Lebensräume erhalten und die Biodiversität gefördert wird.
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
The offer should always be in line with demand. If services are no longer in great demand, they should not necessarily have to be offered everywhere.
Das Angebot soll immer bedarfsgerecht sein. Wenn Leistungen nicht mehr gross nachgefragt werden, sollen sie auch nicht mehr zwingend überall angeboten werden müssen.
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 |

| 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
It is important that we use existing resources sparingly. Various manufacturers of electronic devices have an interest in customers buying a new model after a certain period of time and deliberately put obstacles in the way of customers who want to repair them. This wastes valuable raw materials.
Es ist wichtig, dass wir schonend mit vorhandenen Ressourcen umgehen. Diverse Hersteller von elektonischen Geräten haben ein interesse daran, dass nach einer gewissen Zeit ein neues Modell gekauft wird und legen den Kund:innen bewusst Hürden, wenn sie es reparieren wollen. Damit werden wertvolle Rohstoffe verschwendet.
Democracy, Media & Digitization
Mobile phone network (5G)
Should the Swiss mobile network be equipped throughout the country with the latest technology (currently 5G standard)?

Digitizing public services

| 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |

Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?

Comment
We don't have a free market economy in Switzerland, but a social market economy. And I think that's right. Not everyone benefits from a completely free market economy in the long term, but I believe that in principle the market economy is the right economic order, but that social compensation measures are needed.
Wir haben in der Schweiz keine freie, sondern eine soziale Marktwirtschaft. Und das finde ich richtig. Von einer komplett freien Marktwirtschaft profitieren langfristig nicht alle, ich bin aber der Ansicht, dass grundsätzlich die Marktwirtschaft die richtige Wirtschaftsordnung ist, es aber soziale Ausgleichsmassnahmen braucht.

Comment
A certain degree of redistribution is needed. However, the performance principle should continue to apply. Those who perform better should also receive more. That is why a healthy degree of redistribution is needed.
Es braucht ein gewisses Mass an Umverteilung. Das Leistungsprinzip soll jedoch weiterhin gelten. Wer mehr leistet, soll auch mehr erhalten. Deshalb braucht es ein gesundes Mass bei der Umverteilung.

Abolishing the ceiling is not necessary from a social policy point of view, because it primarily affects married couples with higher incomes. However, it can be one piece of the puzzle among many in an overall revision of rights and obligations in connection with marital status.
Eine Abschaffung der Plafonierung ist sozialpolitisch nicht notwendig, weil das primär Ehepaare mit höheren Einkommen betrifft. Sie kann aber ein Puzzlestein von vielen bei einer Gesamtrevision der Rechte und Pflichten im Zusammenhang mit dem Zivilstand sein.
