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
The increase in premium reduction is sympton. Premiums must be reduced, e.g. by lowering the cost of medicines to the level of surrounding countries and encouraging the insured to lead a healthy lifestyle.
Die Erhöhung der Prämienverbilligung ist Symptonbekämpfung. Die Prämien müssen sinken, z.B. dadurch, dass die Kosten für Arzneimittel auf das Niveau der umliegenden Ländern gesenkt werden und die Versicherten zu einem gesunden Lebenstil ermuntert werden.
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 pensions that a husband and wife have earned over a lifetime should be able to be added together in full. Everything else is a marriage penalty, which should be abolished!
Die Renten, die sich Mann und Frau über ein Leben lang erarbeitet haben, sollen in voller Höhe addiert werden können. Alles andere ist Heiratsstrafe, diese gehört abgeschaft!
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
The intention to dampen the conversion rate corresponds to a short-sighted perspective due to declining investment income as a result of a low interest rate policy. This has now come to an end, so the conversion rate of 6.8% should be retained.
Die Absicht, den Umwandlungssatz zu dämpfen, entspricht einer kurzsichtigen Perspektive durch sinkende Kapitalerträge infolge einer tiefen Zinspolitik. Diese hat jetzt ein Ende, daher ist der Umwandlungssatz von 6.8% zu behalten.
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
Man and woman are equal before the law. This also applies to fathers and mothers. That is why paternity leave must also be extended to 14 weeks.
Mann und Frau sind vor dem Gesetz gleichberechtigt. Das gilt auch für Väter und Mütter. Daher muss der Vaterschaftsurlaub auch auf 14 Wochen ausgebaut werden.
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
The steadily rising rents can only be countered if the supply of affordable housing is increased.
Den stetig steigenden Mieten kann nur entgegengewirkt werden, wenn das Angebot an günstigem Wohnraum erhöht wird.
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
State-guaranteed vaccinations can prevent diseases for children and thus suffering for the affected children and their relatives. The costs for the health care system can be reduced.
Durch staatlich gesicherte Impfungen können Krankheiten für Kinder verhindert werden und damit Leid für die betroffenen Kinder und Ihre Angehörigen. Die Kosten für das Gesundheitswesen können gesenkt 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
The introduction of the sugar tax in the United Kingdom has led to a reduction in sugar levels. This increases public health and thus reduces health care costs.
Die Einführung der Zuckersteuer im vereinigten Königreich hat zu einer Reduktion der Zuckergehalte geführt. Das steigert die Volksgesundheit und reduziert damit die Gesundheitskosten.
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 insured must also be encouraged to adopt a healthy lifestyle via their postage wallets. Personal responsibility must be increased.
Die Versicherten müssen auch über das Portomonnaie zu einem gesunden Lebenstil angehalten werden. Die Eigenverantwortung muss erhöht werden.
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
The Federal Council has steered us well through the past pandemic. We want to be able to keep it that way.
Der Bundesrat hat uns durch die vergangene Pandemie gut hindurchgesteuert. Das soll so bleiben können.
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
This can avoid duplications that only cause costs.
Hierdurch können Doppelspurigkeiten, die nur Kosten verursachen, vermieden werden.
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
Children with learning difficulties need increased attention and specially trained teaching staff.
Kinder mit Lernschwierigkeiten brauchen erhöhte Aufmerksamkeit und besonders geschultes Lehrpersonal.
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 for the baccalaureate should be raised so that only suitable students can really enjoy university studies.
Die Anforderungen an die Maturität gehören erhöht, damit wirklich nur geignete Schüler und Schülerinnen in den Genuss eines Hochschulstudiums kommen.
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
We must promote ALL talents. Parents' lack of finances for education must not be an obstacle to education that matches talents.
Wir müssen ALLE Talente fördern. Fehlende Finanzen der Eltern für die Bildung darf kein Hinderungsgrund für eine den Talenten entsprechende Ausbildung sein.

Make naturalization requirements more flexible
Should the conditions for naturalization be relaxed (e.g., shorter residence period)?

|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This could help to combat the shortage of labor.
Der Arbeitskräftemangel könnte hierduch bekämpft werden.
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
The thorough examination of asylum procedures takes time. You can hardly send people back after a year or two of residence in Europe, because they have built a life here in the meantime.
Die gründliche Prüfung von Asylverfahren braucht Zeit. Man kann die Leute nach ein oder zwei Jahren Aufenthalt in Europa kaum mehr zurückschicken, da sie sich hier mittlerweile ein Leben aufgebaut haben.
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
In order to exercise the right to vote, naturalization is required, by which proof of integration is provided.
Zur Ausübung des Stimmrechtes braucht es eine Einbürgerung, durch die der Nachweis der Integration erbracht ist.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Cannabis use has been shown to increase the risk of schizophenia. This is an unimaginable suffering for those affected and their families and increases health care costs.
Der Konsum von Cannabis erhöht nachweislich das Risiko von Schizophenie. Dies ist ein unvorstellbares Leid für die Betroffenen und ihre Angehörigen und erhöht die Gesundheitskosten.

|---|---|---|---|
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
Marriage is a privilege of heterosexual couples who can produce children naturally. This should remain so.
Die Ehe ist ein Privileg von heterosexuellen Paaren, die auf natürliche Weise Kinder zeugen können. Dies soll so bleiben.

Reduce taxes at the federal level
Do you support tax cuts at the federal level over the next four years?

Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Yes, because joint assessment is a marriage penalty. This should be abolished.
Ja, da die gemeinsame Veranlagung eine Heiratsstrafe darstellt. Diese gehört abgeschafft.
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
Prosperity must be earned. Equality of opportunity must prevail.
Wohlstand muss erarbeitet werden. Chancengleichheit muss herrschen.
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
Tax competition is good, but it needs to be dampened more so that financially weak cantons also have a chance to develop.
Der Steuerwettbewerb ist gut, muss aber stärker gedämpft werden, damit auch finanzschwache Kantone eine Chance erhalten, sich zu entwickeln.
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
This should be regulated on a cantonal basis.
Dies sollte kantonal geregelt werden.
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
The case of CS has taught us that this is absolutely necessary.
Der Fall der CS hat uns gelehrt, dass dies unbedingt nötig ist.
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
Local electricity monopolies must be dismantled. The market must "play".
Die lokalen Strommonopole müssen abgebaut werden. Der Markt muss "spielen".
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
In Switzerland, we are dependent on denser building. Bureaucracy in building applications must be reduced.
Wir sind in der Schweiz auf ein verdichtetes Bauen angewiesen. Die Bürokratie bei Baugesuchen muss abgebaut werden.
Wage equality between women and men
Are you in favor of stricter controls on equal pay for women and men?

Comment
This is where the market has to "play".
Hier muss der Markt "spielen".
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This runs counter to climate protection. Traffic is to be avoided, e.g. through home offices, appropriate spatial planning or a shift to public transport and cycling.
Das läuft dem Klimaschutz zuwider. Der Verkehr ist zu vermeiden z.B. durch Home-Office, geeignete Raumplanung oder die Verlagerung auf den ÖV und das Velo.
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 fossil fuel age is over. Electromobility has long been a feasible alternative.
Das fossile Zeitalter ist zu Ende. Die Elektromobilität ist längst eine machbare Alternative.
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
This was not purposeful in the past. For example, there is a need for bans on replacing electric boilers and electric heaters with the same equipment.
Dies war in der Vergangenheit nicht zielführend. Es braucht z.B. Verbote für den Ersatz von Elektroboilern und Elektroheizungen durch gleiche Geräte.
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
Increasing energy efficiency is the first priority. The remaining demand for renewable energies must be covered in an environmentally compatible manner.
Die Steigerung der Energieeffizienz hat erste Priorität. Der Restbedarf an erneuerbaren Energien muss umweltverträglich gedeckt 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
New nuclear power plants are too dangerous, continue to produce nuclear waste for whose disposal no definitive solution has yet been found, are too expensive and come too late.
Neue Atomkraftwerke sind zu gefährlich, produzieren weiterhin Atommüll, für dessen Entsorgung noch keine definitive Lösung gefunden wurde, sind zu teuer und kommen zu spät.
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
Concentration on the cities must be avoided, otherwise this will result in a further rural exodus.
Die Konzentration auf die Städte ist zu vermeiden, da dies sonst eine weitere Landflucht zur Folge hat.
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
This would be an incentive to use electricity efficiently and to generate electricity from solar panels.
Dies wäre ein Anreiz zum effizienten Einsatz von Strom und zur Erzeugung von Strom aus Solarmodulen.
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
No humans should be endangered by these large carnivores.
Durch diese Grossraubtiere dürfen keine Menschen gefärdet werden.
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Drinking water is becoming increasingly scarce and is already heavily contaminated with pesticides and their degradation products. Therefore, a concentration of tax funds for organic farms is needed.
Trinkwasser wird immer rarer und ist schon jetzt stark mit Pestiziden und deren Abbauprodukten belastet. Es braucht daher eine konzentration von Steuermitteln für Bio-Bauernhöfe.
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

|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Conserving resources according to the cradle to cradle principle ensures our independence from foreign raw materials and also saves money in the longer term.

Democracy, Media & Digitization
Mobile phone network (5G)

Fake news and manipulation through untrue content must be stopped.
Fake-News und der Manipulation durch unwahre Inhalte muss Einhalt geboten werden.
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
It is not understandable that companies pay television and radio fees when their employees already pay these fees.
Es ist nicht einzusehen, dass Unternehmen Fernseh- und Radiogebühren bezahlen, wenn bereits deren Arbeitnehmer diese Gebühren bezahlen.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
A certain degree of maturity is required for the right to vote. Nevertheless, young people should be politically engaged so that they can later exercise their right to vote in a well-founded manner.
Für das Stimmrecht braucht es eine gewisse Reife. Dennoch sollen sich Jugendliche politisch engagieren, damit sie später das Stimmrecht fundiert ausüben können.
Introducing an optional financial referendum against federal spending
Should it be possible to hold a referendum on federal spending above a certain amount (optional financial referendum)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This would lead to a flood of referendums. The referendum must remain tied to the submission of a defined number of signatures within a defined period.
Dies würde zu einer Flut von Referenden führen. Das Referendum muss an das Einreichen einer definierten Anzahl von Unterschriften in einer definierten Frist gebunden bleiben.
Security & military
Increasing the size of the army to at least 120,000 soldiers
Are you in favor of expanding the army's target number of soldiers to at least 120,000?

Strengthening cooperation between the Swiss army and NATO
Should the Swiss Armed Forces expand their cooperation with NATO?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

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 an attack in violation of international law, there is no longer any neutrality. Refusing to carry out weapons only strengthens the aggressor and promotes wars.
Bei einem völkerrechtswidrigen Angriff gibt es keine Neutralität mehr. Die Verweigung, Waffen auszuführen, stärkt nur den Angreifer und fördert Kriege.

Denounce the Schengen Agreement and strengthen border controls
Should Switzerland terminate the Schengen agreement with the EU and reintroduce more security checks directly on the border? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Checks on persons are also possible in the Schengen Agreement. The termination of the Schengen Agreement would hinder trade and reduce prosperity.
Personenkontrollen sind auch im Schengenabkommen möglich. Die Aufkündigung des Schengenabkommens würde den Handel behindern und den Wohlstand schmälern.
Foreign trade & foreign policy
Seek closer relations with the EU
Are you in favor of closer relations with the European Union (EU)?

Seek a comprehensive free trade agreement with the United States
Should Switzerland strive for a comprehensive free trade agreement (including agriculture) with the USA?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Food laws in the USA are much more lax than those in Switzerland. In this case, food of inferior quality would flood the Swiss market and weaken the local agriculture.
Die Lebensmittelgesetze der USA sind viel lascher als die der Schweiz. In diesem Fall würden Lebensmittel minderer Qualität den Schweizer Markt fluten und die hiesige Landwirtschaft schwächen.
Comply with social and environmental standards
Should Swiss companies be obliged to ensure that their subsidiaries and suppliers operating abroad comply with social and environmental standards?

Es darf nicht sein, dass Schweizer Unternehmen im Ausland zu Umweltschäden oder zur Ausbeutung beitragen.
Terminate bilateral agreements with the EU
Should Switzerland terminate the Bilateral Agreements with the EU and seek a free trade agreement without the free movement of persons?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Absolutely not! The Bilateral Agreements were and are a blessing for Switzerland. The free movement of persons enables the immigration of urgently needed skilled workers from EU countries who are relatively easy to integrate.
Auf keinen Fall! Die Bilateralen Verträge waren und sind ein Segen für die Schweiz. Die Personenfreizügigkeit ermöglicht die Zuwanderung von dringend gesuchten Fachkräften aus EU-Staaten, die relativ einfach zu integrieren sind.

Security measures taken by the state
What is your position the following statement: "Someone who is not guilty, has nothing to fear from state security measures."
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The state is not beyond all doubt. Security measures are needed, but they must be limited in order to put a stop to arbitrary state action.
Der Staat ist nicht über allen Zweifel erhaben. Es braucht Sicherheitsmassnahmen, diese müssen aber begrenzt sein, um staatlicher Willkür einen Riegel zu schieben.
Free market economy
What is your position the following statement: "In the long term, everyone benefits from a free market economy in the long term."

Comment
A certain amount of environmental sharing is needed to create equal opportunities, especially in education. On the other hand, performance must be rewarded.

Punish criminals
What is your position the following statement: "Punishing criminals is more important than reintegrating them into society."
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Punishment must be! But former criminals must be reintegrated so that they are once again service providers and taxpayers for society.
Strafe muss sein! Aber ehemalige Kriminelle müssen wiedereingegliedert werden, damit sie für die Gesellschaft wieder Leistungserbringer und Steuerzahler zur Verfügung stehen.
Stronger environmental protection
What is your position the following statement: "Stronger environmental protection is necessary, even if its application limits economic growth."
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Environmental protection always promotes the economy in the longer term, as it conserves natural resources and promotes public health. Short-term disadvantages for the economy are more than compensated for by longer-term benefits.
Umweltschutz ist längerfristig immer auch Wirtschaftförderung, da er natürliche Ressourcen schont und die Volksgesundheit fördert. Kurzfristige Nachteile für die Wirtschaft werden durch längerfristigen Nutzen mehr als kompensiert.

Spending on development aid has borne little fruit. Fair trade relations with 3rd world states would be better.
Die Ausgaben für Entwicklungshilfe haben wenig Früchte getragen. Besser wären faire Handelsbeziehungen zu Staaten der 3. Welt.
Comment
Fortunately, the life expectancy of women and men is getting longer and longer. At the same time, more and more pensioners are facing fewer and fewer contributors. In order to keep the AHV healthy and AHV pensions at a satisfactory level, the retirement age must rise.
Die Lebenserwartung von Frauen und Männern wird erfreulicherweise immer höher. Gleichzeitig stehen immmer mehr Rentner und Rentnerinnen immer weniger Beitragszahlern gegenüber. Um die AHV gesund zu erhalten und die AHV-Renten auf einem befriedigenden Niveau zu halten, muss das Rentenalter steigen.
