Welfare state & family

Raise the retirement age to 67

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

At the present time, I am not in favor of raising the retirement age. In the future, however, demographic change and the steady increase in life expectancy will mean that we will have to talk about it.

Zur aktuellen Zeit befürworte ich eine Erhöhung des Rentenalters nicht. In Zukunft wird aufgrund des demographischen Wandels und der stetigen Erhöhung der Lebenserwartung jedoch darüber gesprochen werden müssen.

Education

Inclusive schooling

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

The idea of an inclusive school is a positive one. However, the fact is that not every child with learning difficulties is helped by attending the regular school classes. If a child cannot follow the regular school lessons, he is constantly separated from the class with his own learning plan. This not only leads to a disconnection from the class, but is also an extra workload for the busy teachers/special educators. Each child should therefore be assessed individually.

Die Idee der integrativen Schule ist positiv zu bewerten. Jedoch ist es so, dass nicht jedem Kind mit Lernschwierigkeiten der Besuch der regulären Schulkassen hilft. Falls ein Kind dem normalen Schulunterricht nicht folgen kann, ist er ständig mit einem eigenen Lernplan von der Klasse separiert. Dies führt nicht nur zu einer Abkoppelung von der Klasse, sondern ist auch ein Mehraufwand für die ausgelasteten Lehrpersonen/Heilpädagogen. Jedes Kind sollte daher einzeln beurteilt werden.

Tighten the requirements for obtaining a high school diploma

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

The performance requirement for the gymnasiale Matura is the responsibility of the cantons. In my opinion, it is important that both the Matura and vocational education remain attractive to all individuals. However, based on my own experience from cantonal school, I am in favor of a slight increase in the requirements for the gymnasiale Matura.

Die Leistungsanforderung für die gymnasiale Matura ist Aufgabe der Kantone. Meines Erachtens ist es wichtig, dass sowohl die Matura wie auch die Berufsbildung weiterhin für alle Personen attraktiv bleibt. Aufgrund meiner eigenen Erfahrungen aus der Kantonsschule befürworte ich jedoch eine leichte Anhebung der Anforderungen für die gymnasiale Maturität.

Equal opportunities in education

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

Education is one of, if not the most important good that our state provides. Every citizen should have equal and fair access to it. It must not be the case that children can be promoted more than others because of the wealth of their parents. These have consequently an advantage to reach higher education. Therefore, the state should work for equal educational opportunities.

Bildung ist eines, wenn nicht das wichtigste Gut, was unser Staat bereitstellt. Hierbei sollte jeder Bürger einen gleichen und fairen Zugang haben. Es darf nicht sein, dass Kinder aufgrund des Reichtums der Eltern stärker gefördert werden können als andere. Diese haben folglich einen Vorteil, an höherer Bildung zu gelangen. Daher soll sich der Staat für gleiche Bildungschancen einsetzen.

Immigration & integration

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Increase the quota of third-country nationals for skilled workers

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Asylum procedures outside Europe

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Voting rights for foreigners

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

In my opinion, foreigners should be allowed to participate in decision-making at the municipal level, provided that they have already been resident in this municipality for a longer period of time.

Ausländer/-innen sollen meines Erachtens auf Gemeindeebene mitbestimmen dürfen, sofern sie bereits eine über eine längere Zeit in dieser Gemeinde wohnhaft sind.

Society & ethics

Legalize cannabis use

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Authorize active euthanasia

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

In my opinion, a third gender can be introduced. However, before that, the consequences under civil law in various areas of society (labor law, compulsory military service, etc.) must first be clarified and declared.

Meines Erachtens kann ein drittes Geschlecht eingeführt werden. Jedoch müssen davor zuerst die zivilrechtlichen Konsequenzen in diversen Gesellschaftsbereichen (Arbeitsrecht, Wehrpflicht, etc.) abgeklärt und deklariert werden.

Equality between same-sex and heterosexual couples

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Finances & taxes

Reduce taxes at the federal level

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Tax married couples individually

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

I support the center's "Fair Taxes" initiative, which calls for an alternative tax code. With this calculation, married couples must continue to file only one tax return. However, can benefit from the calculation method of individual taxation.

Ich befürworte die Initiative der Mitte "Faire Steuern", welche eine alternative Steuerbereichnung fordert. Mit dieser Berechnung müssen verheiratete Paare weiterhin nur eine Steuererklärung einreichten. Können jedoch von der Berechnungsmethode der Individualbesteuerung profitieren.

Energy & transport

Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

Of course, the highways are of great importance for the transport of goods. However, as long as the highways are constantly expanded so that they are free of traffic jams, the attractiveness of the private use of the car does not decrease. Consequently, more and more people will continue to use the car instead of public transport.

Natürlich sind die Autobahnen für den Transport von Güter von grosser Bedeutung. Solange die Autobahnen jedoch stetig ausgebaut werden, damit diese staufrei sind, sinkt die Attraktivität der privaten Nutzung des Autos nicht. Somit werden folglich immer noch mehr Menschen auf das Auto anstatt auf das ÖV setzten.

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Make the rules for renewable energy less strict

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Authorize the construction of new nuclear power plants

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

At the present time, the construction of a nuclear power plant is not an issue. However, Switzerland should continue to monitor this technology, as it can produce climate-friendly electricity. In the future, we may have to rely on additional electricity from nuclear power plants.

Zum aktuellen Zeitpunkt ist der Bau eines Atomkraftwerkes kein Thema. Jedoch sollte die Schweiz diese Technologie weiterhin beobachten, da dadurch klimafreundlicher Strom produziert werden kann. In Zukunft könnte es sein, dass wir auf zusätzlichen Strom aus Kernkraftwerken angewiesen sind.

Lowering the voting age to 16

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

I support the voting age of 16 at the cantonal level. We encourage our children in political education at school. They should also be able to participate in certain direct democratic institutions.

Ich befürworte das Stimmrechtsalter 16 auf der kantonalen Ebene. Wir fördern in der Schule unsere Kinder in der politischen Bildung. Diese sollen somit auch bereits an gewissen direktdemokratischen Institutionen teilhaben können.

Free market economy

1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Comment

Everyone benefits from the free market economy. However, since we do not judge our prosperity objectively but subjectively, the poorest people in Switzerland are significantly wealthier today than they were 100 years ago. Nevertheless, they will not be satisfied with their prosperity, because other people are wealthier. Therefore, inequality must not increase too much.

Alle profitieren von der freien Marktwirtschaft. Da wir jedoch unseren Wohlstand nicht objektiv sondern subjektiv beurteilen Die ärmsten Personen der Schweiz sind heute deutlich wohlhabender als vor 100 Jahren. Trotzdem werden sie mit ihrem Wohlstand nicht zufrieden sein, da andere Leute wohlhabender sind. Deshalb darf die Ungleichheit nicht zu stark ansteigen.

It is a special concern for me to socially revaluate the educational work, whether it is done by the man or the woman!
