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 implementation of the premium reduction would have to be reconsidered. There are people who voluntarily work part-time. The income is enough for them to live on. Because of the reduced income, they then receive premium reductions. However, this does not correspond to the original purpose of this support measure.
Die Umsetzung der Prämienverbilligung müsste überdacht werden. Es gibt Personen, welche freiwillig Teilzeit arbeiten. Das Einkommen genüge ihnen zum Leben. Wegen dem reduzierten Einkommen erhalten sie dann Prämienverbilligung. Das entspricht aber nicht dem ursprünglichen Sinn dieser Unterstützungsmassnahme.
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
It is no longer in keeping with the times. Many unmarried couples live under one roof and benefit from two full pensions.
Es ist nicht mehr zeitgemäss. Viele unverheiratete Paare leben unter einem Dach und profitieren von zwei Vollrenten.
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
Yes and no; the conversion rate is falling continuously. Shouldn't it be capped?
Jein; der Umwandlungssatz sinkt laufend. Müsste er nicht gedeckelt werden?
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
Who is going to pay for it? Wouldn't it be an option to combine the two vacations with a freely selectable reference on the part of the parents?
Wer soll das bezahlen? Wäre das Zusammenlegen der beiden Urlaube mit seitens der Eltern frei wählbarem Bezug nicht eine Option?
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
But only if there is a control of the rentals. It must not be the case that well-off people occupy a low-priced cooperative apartment. But that probably involves a lot of legal uncertainty.
Aber nur, wenn eine Kontrolle der Vermietungen vorgenommen wird. Es darf nicht sein, dass gut verdienende Leute eine günstige Genossenschaftswohnung belegen. Aber das birgt vermutlich viel Rechtsunsicherheit.
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
We can't dictate everything.
Wir können nicht alles vorschreiben.
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
People also need to take personal responsibility for their food consumption.
Die Menschen müssen für Ihren Esskonsum auch Eigenverantwortung übernehmen.
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
When it hits the "right" ones. E.g. voluntary part-time workers, or when the emergency is visited instead of a family doctor.
Wenn es die "richtigen" trifft. Z.B. freiwillig Teilzeitarbeitende, oder wenn der Notfall statt eines Hausarztes aufgesucht wird.
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
Someone has to be able to make timely decisions.
Jemand muss zeitnah entscheiden 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
The cantons are to retain decision-making authority.
Die Kantone sollen die Entscheidungshoheit behalten.
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 has not become established. The small classes of the past are missing. It is also often forgotten that the "good" students are not challenged and encouraged enough because of the high degree of mixing.
Die integrative Schule hat sich nicht durchgesetzt. Die Kleinklassen von früher fehlen. Oft wird auch vergessen, dass wegen der starken Durchmischung die "guten" Schüler zu wenig gefordert und gefördert werden können.
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
Attending a secondary school should be chosen consciously and not just because the young person has no other idea. In parallel, the vocational apprenticeship should be strengthened.
Der Besuch einer Mittelschule soll bewusst gewählt werden und nicht nur, weil der junge Mensch keine andere Idee hat. Parallel sollte die Berufslehre gestärkt werden.
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
The state cannot and should not take over all tasks. The cantons or municipalities should take on this issue as they do now.
Der Staat kann und soll nicht alle Aufgaben übernehmen. Die Kantone bzw. Gemeinden sollen sich diesem Thema wie jetzt schon annehmen.
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
Those who are honestly interested in the Swiss passport accept the given guidelines.
Wer ehrlich interessiert ist am Schweizerpass, akzeptiert die gegebenen Vorgaben.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The number is redefined annually. There is a certain flexibility.
Die Anzahl wird jährlich neu festgesetzt. Da besteht ja eine gewisse Flexibilität.
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
This will not solve the problem with migration.
Das wird das Problem mit der Migration nicht lösen.
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
Those who are really interested acquire the Swiss passport and thus have the basis to have a say in all topics and to be present. The skills required for this (language, political understanding) are also needed by the person to exercise the right to vote.
Wer wirklich interessiert ist, der erwirbt den Schweizerpass und hat damit die Grundlage bei allen Themen mitzubestimmen und dabei zu sein. Die dafür vorgegebenen Fähigkeiten (Sprache, politisches Verständnis) benötigt die Person auch zur Ausübung des Wahl- und Stimmrechts.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Cannabis is a visible substance. A release cannot be based on the comparison with alcohol, which is also an addictive substance in case of excessive consumption.
Cannabis ist ein Sichtmittel. Eine Freigabe kann nicht auf dem Vergleich mit Alkohol, bei übermässigem Konsum auch ein Suchtmittel, begründet 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
Life and death are interrelated. I bear the attitude that man should not decide about everything. But I have never been confronted with active euthanasia in my immediate environment.
Leben und Sterben steht in einem Zusammenhang. Ich trage die Haltung, dass der Mensch nicht über alles entscheiden sollte. Ich war aber auch noch nie im engeren Umfeld mit aktiver Sterbehilfe konfrontiert.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Which of the many variations? What if I feel different tomorrow?
Welches von den vielen Variationen? Und wenn ich mich morgen anders fühle?
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
Yes, if they are married, as the people approved this possibility in 2022.
Ja, wenn sie verheiratet sind, wie das Volk dieser Möglichkeit 2022 zugestimmt hat.
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
Provided that healthy federal finances prevail. Otherwise, I favor debt reduction instead of tax cuts.
Vorausgesetzt, dass gesunde Bundesfinanzen herrschen. Ansonsten befürworte ich einen Schuldenabbau statt einer Steuersenkung.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Would be fair to the cohabiting couples.
Wäre fair gegenüber den Konkubinatspaaren.
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
Inheritances have already been taxed once.
Die Erbschaften wurden schon einmal besteuert.
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
It is an important part of our federalism.
Es ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil unseres Föderalismus.
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
In return, support contributions should decrease and tax revenues increase.
Dafür sollten Unterstützungsbeiträge sinken und Steuereinnahmen steigen.
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
No clear position at present. How can any requirements be reconciled with a constitutional state? However, requirements would also have to be implemented.
Aktuell keine klare Haltung. Wie lassen sich allfällige Vorgaben mit einem Rechtsstaat vereinbaren? Vorgaben müssten aber auch umgesetzt werden.
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
How is the existing pipeline network, including maintenance and other infrastructure, accounted for? Much too complicated to implement.
Wie wird das bestehende Leitungsnetz samt Unterhalt und weiterer Infrastruktur verrechnet? Viel zu kompliziert in der Umsetzung.
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
Increase of the utilization factor, non-creditability of roof and attic storeys, reduction of border distances, additional storey in the case of a site superstructure, etc. serve the purpose of internal densification. Noise protection must not be relaxed under any circumstances. The health of the residents is at stake here. This issue can be taken into account with clever floor plans.
Erhöhung der Ausnützungsziffer, nicht Anrechenbarkeit von Dach- und Attikageschossen, Reduzierung von Grenzabständen, Zusatzgeschoss bei einer Arealüberbauung etc. dienen der inneren Verdichtung. Der Lärmschutz darf auf keinen Fall gelockert werden. Hier geht es um die Gesundheit der Bewohnenden. Mit cleveren Grundrissen kann diesem Thema Rechnung getragen werden.
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
Often, the starting wage for the same job is already different and then it stays that way. Women must learn to trust their abilities and to "sell" themselves better.
Oft ist der Einstiegslohn für die gleiche Arbeit bereits unterschiedlich und das bleibt dann so. Die Frauen müssen lernen, ihren Fähigkeiten zu vertrauen und sich besser zu "verkaufen".
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
More roads attract more cars.
Mehr Strassen ziehen mehr Autos an.
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
Where does the required electricity come from? The issue is not even remotely solved. Not driving a car or driving as little as possible helps the environment.
Woher kommt der benötigte Strom? Das Thema ist nicht ansatzweise gelöst. Nur kein Auto bzw. möglichst wenig fahren hilft der Umwelt.
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
Every person must be convinced of all the necessary measures. And this is not achieved with prohibitions.
Jede Person muss überzeugt sein von allen notwendigen Massnahmen. Und dies erreicht man nicht mit Verboten.
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
Optimize hydropower and e.g. increase existing dams. For the time being, the many large roofs would have to be used with PV systems that can be implemented in an optimal way in terms of design, before the mountain slopes are burdened with them. Switzerland is not a wind power country.
Wasserkraft optimieren und z.B. bestehende Staudämme erhöhen. Vorerst müssten die vielen grossen Dächer mit gestalterisch optimal umzusetzenden PV-Anlagen genutzt werden, bevor die Berghänge damit belastet werden. Die Schweiz ist kein Windkraftland.
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
No final position until the topic of electricity production is clarified in more detail. It is easier to be against nuclear power plants, but to buy gray electricity from abroad.
Keine abschliessende Haltung bis das Thema der Stromproduktion detaillierter geklärt ist. Es ist einfacher gegen AKW's zu sein, dafür aus dem Ausland grauen Strom zu beziehen
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
Everyone has a right to it. Otherwise, decisions will only be made on the basis of the financial aspect and the peripheral regions will be neglected.
Alle haben ein Recht darauf. Ansonsten wird nur noch aufgrund des finanziellen Aspekts entscheiden und die Randregionen werden vernachlässigt.
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
For private consumers, this could trigger reduced electricity consumption. However, the economy should not be overburdened.
Bei den Privatbezügern könnte dies einen reduzierten Stromverbrauch auslösen. Die Wirtschaft sollte aber nicht überbelastet werden.
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
There are a lot of idealized opinions on this subject from the proponents, which do not benefit the people concerned in any way.
Zu diesem Thema bestehen von den Befürwortern sehr viele idealisierte Meinungen, welche den Betroffenen in keiner Art und Weise nützen.
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The farms and the associated security of supply is steadily decreasing. Even more ecology triggers more imports and then the consumer questions nothing more.
Die Landwirtschaftsbetriebe und die damit einhergehende Versorgungssicherheit nimmt stetig ab. Noch mehr Ökologie löst mehr Importe aus und dann hinterfragt der Konsument nichts mehr.
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
Switzerland already has a very strict animal protection law. Furthermore, the consumer can influence a lot with his behavior.
Die Schweiz besitzt bereits ein sehr strenges Tierschutzgesetz. Im Weiteren kann der Konsument mit seinem Verhalten sehr viel beeinflussen.
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
Crop rotation areas are decreasing (also a consequence of built-up areas) and so is the level of security of supply (despite the increase in population).
Die Fruchtfolgeflächen nehmen ab (auch eine Folge der bebauten Flächen) und damit auch der Versorgungssicherheitsgrad (trotz der Bevölkerungszunahme).
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
Man must discard the unconcerned behavior and rethink.
Der Mensch muss das unbesorgte Verhalten ablegen und umdenken.
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
In many ways, this could stop the ephemerality.
Das könnte die Kurzlebigkeit in vieler Hinsicht unterbinden.
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
We can no longer escape technical progress, not least for economic reasons. In addition, everyone wants fast reception everywhere. This requires the appropriate network.
Dem technischen Fortschritt können wir uns auch aus wirtschaftlichen Gründen nicht mehr entziehen. Zudem wollen alle überall einen schnellen Empfang. Dazu benötigt es das entsprechende Netz.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The federal government could thus promote national standardization.
Der Bund könnte damit eine nationale Vereinheitlichung fördern.
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
Reasonable handling to protect users.

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
Can this be reconciled with the desired offer?
Lässt sich das mit dem gewünschten Angebot in Einklang bringen?
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
It's possible that a very small percentage of sixteen to eighteen-year-olds would get involved in politics. But the majority of people are unfortunately not interested in politics. This can be seen in the low voter turnout.
Möglich, dass ein sehr kleiner Anteil der sechszehn- bis achtzehnjährigen sich politisch engagieren würden. Aber die Mehrheit der Menschen interessiert sich leider nicht für Politik. Dies ist an der schwachen Stimmbeteiligung ablesbar.
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
The federal government must have freedom of decision.
Der Bund muss Entscheidungsfreiheit haben.
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?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The reduction in personnel in the meantime has also revealed problems.
Der zwischenzeitliche Personalabbau hat auch Probleme aufgezeigt.
Strengthening cooperation between the Swiss army and NATO
Should the Swiss Armed Forces expand their cooperation with NATO?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The current cooperation is sufficient. Would deeper cooperation affect Switzerland's neutrality?
Die aktuelle Zusammenarbeit genügt. Würde eine vertiefte Zusammenarbeit die Neutralität der Schweiz tangieren?
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 |

I have nothing to hide. Vandalism in the municipalities is enormous. Nevertheless, surveillance cameras may not always be mounted. And again, the perpetrator is protected.
Ich habe nichts zu verbergen. Der Vandalismus in den Gemeinden ist enorm. Trotzdem dürfen nicht immer Überwachungskameras montiert werden. Und schon wieder wird der Täter geschützt.
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
Border controls would often be beneficial. But cooperation and exchange across our national borders are also valuable.
Grenzkontrollen wären oft von Vorteil. Aber die Zusammenarbeit und der Austausch über unsere Landesgrenzen hinweg sind auch wertvoll.
Foreign trade & foreign policy
Seek closer relations with the EU
Are you in favor of closer relations with the European Union (EU)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Switzerland should take a clearer stance and not enter negotiations with compromises already in place.
Die Schweiz sollte mit einer deutlicheren Haltung auftreten und nicht bereits mit Kompromissen in eine Verhandlung steigen.
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
Switzerland already has free trade agreements with many countries. With regard to agriculture, special attention is always necessary.
Freihandelsabkommen hat die Schweiz schon mit vielen Ländern. Bezüglich der Landwirtschaft ist immer ein spezielles Augenmerk notwendig.
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?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
That would distort competition.
Das würde den Wettbewerb verzerren.
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
And enter the negotiations with confidence. Switzerland also has a lot to offer.
Und selbstsicher in die Verhandlungen steigen. Die Schweiz hat auch vieles zu bieten.
