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 system is wrong! This would be a mere symptom control, but nothing would be changed at the cause! This is not sustainable.
Das System ist falsch! Dies wäre eine reine Symptombekämpfung, aber an der Ursache würde nichts geändert! Dies ist nicht zukunftsfähig.
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
There is and never was any justification for this unjust treatment.
Für diese ungerechte Behandlung gib und gab es nie eine Berechtigung.
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, unfortunately. That, too, is the logical consequence of people getting older all the time.
Ja, leider. Auch das ist die logische Konsequenz vom stetig älterwerdenden Menschen.
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
Other countries are showing the way. The wheel should not be reinvented, but what works should be adopted. Children are our future.
Andere Länder machen es vor. Das Rad soll nicht neu erfunden, sondern Funktionierendes übernommen werden. Kinder sind unsere Zukunft.
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
Because excessive profit maximization and speculation must not be pursued with a basic need.
Weil mit einem Grundbedürfnis nicht übermässig Profitmaximierung und Spekulation betrieben werden darf.
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
This is a matter for the parents.
Das ist Sache der Eltern.
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
Why? The sugar does not harm all people.
Wozu? Der Zucker schadet nicht allen Leuten.
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 deletion of the two lowest deductibles would certainly be appropriate. I am also in favor of the emergency flat rate, which has already been discussed many times, to relieve the emergency wards. But there is an urgent need for further steps to reduce healthcare costs in the long term and permanently. One idea is/would be to enable people to take care of themselves again - analogous to the emergency helper course, an "obligation" to attend such a "further training" for the benefit of society.
Die Streichung der zwei untersten Franchisen wäre sicher angezeigt. Ebenfalls befürworte ich die bereits vielfach diskutierte Notfallpauschale zur Entlastung der Notfallstationen. Aber es braucht dringend weitere Schritte um die Gesundheitskosten langfristig und dauerhaft zu senken. Eine Idee ist/wäre die Menschen wieder mehr zu befähigen sich selber zu versorgen - analog dem Nothelferkurs ein "Obligatorium" eine solche "Weiterbildung" im Nutzen für die Gesellschaft zu besuchen.
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 my opinion, the Federal Council has acted to the best of its knowledge and belief. According to the latest reports, the Swiss economy has recovered sustainably and incredibly quickly. These are clear arguments for competent leadership in the crisis.
Der BR hat meines Erachtens nach bestem Wissen und Gewissen gehandelt. Nach neusten Berichten hat sich die CH-Wirtschaft nachhaltig und unglaublich schnell erholt. Das sind doch deutliche Argumente für eine kompetente Führung in der Krise.
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
Health care costs are getting out of hand, that's a fact! Incisive measures must be taken. And let's be honest, the Kantönli spirit is anything but conducive here.
Die Gesundheitskosten laufen aus dem Ruder, das ist ein Fakt! Es müssen einschneidende Massnahmen ergriffen werden. Und seien wir ehrlich, der Kantönli-Geist ist hier alles andere als förderlich.
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
Yes, but..... This system only works with enough teaching and support staff. On the positive side, fears of contact with children with learning difficulties or disabilities are overcome and these children are integrated.
Ja, aber..... Dieses System funktioniert nur mit genügend Lehr- und Betreuungspersonal. Positiv ist, dass Kontaktängste mit Kindern mit Lernschwierigkeiten oder Behinderungen überwunden und diese Kinder integriert 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
I can't really answer that. But what I find completely lacking in this educational path is the subject "career choice". Why shouldn't a high school graduate complete a vocational apprenticeship with the Matura? It's clear that there's a lack of offerings there. These graduates should be offered a shortened apprenticeship or something similar.
Das kann ich nicht wirklich beantworten. Was mir aber in diesem Bildungsweg komplett fehlt ist das Fach "Berufswahl". Warum soll ein Maturant nicht mit der Matura eine Berufslehre absolvieren? Klar ist, dass dort ein Angebot fehlt. Diesen Abgänger müsste eine verkürzte Lehre angeboten werden können oder dergleichen.
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
When considering this, common sense would simply have to be switched on as well.
Bei der Betrachtung müsste einfach auch der gesunde Menschenverstand eingeschaltet werden.
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
It needs no relaxation but a standardization. It can't be that a willing citizen in locality X has to pay three times as much as in locality Z!!!
Es braucht keine Lockerung aber eine Vereinheitlichung. Es kann nicht sein, dass ein gewillter Bürger in Ortschaft X das dreifache bezahlen muss wie in Ortschaft Z!!
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
This hyped-up concentration of highly qualified people is just as harmful as the outsourcing of labor to low-wage countries! Switzerland urgently needs to concentrate on its core competencies - education and innovation. Switzerland should train people from all over the world - for a fee. These professionals should then take over leading roles in their home countries. Prosperity spreads if you let it.
Diese hochgeschaukelte Konzentration von Hochqualifizierten ist genau so schädlich wie die Arbeitsauslagerung in die Billig-Lohnländer! Die Schweiz muss sich dringend auf ihre Kernkompetenzen konzentrieren - Bildung und Innovationen. Die Schweiz soll Leute aus aller Welt ausbilden - kostenpflichtig ausbilden. Diese Profis sollen dann ihn ihren Heimatländer führende Rollen übernehmen. Wohlstand breitet sich aus, wenn man es zulässt.
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
Clearly, yes, but also just as clearly are the difficulties of doing so. The migration flows must be stopped at the root. This prevents unbelievable suffering of thousands. But this also includes that perspectives are created - education! The people concerned should be able to stay in their homeland or at least near their homeland.
Ganz klar ja, aber auch genau so klar sind die Schwierigkeiten dies zu tun. Die Migrationsströme müssen an der Wurzel gestoppt werden. Dies verhindert unglaubliches Leid von Tausenden. Dazu gehört aber auch, dass Perspektiven geschaffen werden - Ausbildung! Die betreffenden Menschen sollen in ihrer Heimat oder zumindest in der Nähe ihrer Heimat bleiben können.
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
Why should these people then let themselves be naturalized? Either the interest in Switzerland is there, then one lets oneself naturalize and can participate in all elections.
Wozu sollen sich diese Leute dann einbürgern lassen? Entweder ist das Interesse an der Schweiz da, dann lässt man sich einbürgern und kann so an allen Wahlen teilnehmen.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Decriminalization of something that has been tolerated for decades. Education and controlled sales are to be promoted.
Entkriminalisierung einer Sache die seit Jahrzehnten geduldet wird. Aufklärung und kontrollierter Verkauf sind zu fördern.
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
Passive euthanasia exists and is also used. At this level, this is sufficient. For everything else, there is the well-known organization.
Die passive Sterbehilfe gibt es und wird auch angewendet. Auf dieser Stufe ist dies ausreichend. Für alles andere gibt es die bekannte Organisation.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Normal" life is never fair to everyone, because this is simply impossible. Minorities are always "disadvantaged" somewhere. Imagine what that would mean in practice!
Das "normale" Leben wir nie allen gerecht, weil dies einfach unmöglich ist. Minderheiten sind immer irgendwo "benachteiligt". Man stelle sich vor, was das in der Umsetzung bedeuten würde!
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
Tax cuts are always great for everyone, but when public services have to be cut, the fuss starts. The federal government needs a balanced budget.
Steuersenkungen sind für jeden immer toll, doch wenn dann öffentliche Leistungen gekürzt werden müssen fängt das Theater an. Der Bund braucht ein ausgeglichenes Budget.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Yes. Equality with all others.
Ja. Gleichstellung mit allen anderen.
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
Rather, yes, from the point of view that global assets are distributed far too unevenly. But it must be possible to distinguish whether, for example, it is a current business where the assets are tied up and not available in liquid form.
Eher ja aus dem Blickwinkel, dass das weltweite Vermögen viel zu ungleich verteilt ist. Es muss aber unterschieden werden können, ob es sich zum Beispiel um ein laufendes Geschäft handelt, wo das Vermögen gebunden ist und nicht flüssig zur Verfügung steht.
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
I think that the current regulation is sufficient.
Ich denke, dass die heutige Regelung genügend ist.
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
Such a minimum wage is for me an absolute devaluation of education. Already today there are (too) many people who do not start an education after compulsory schooling and "only" go to work, because they earn so much more money. But this is not the right way.
Ein solcher Mindestlohn ist für mich eine absolute Abwertung der Bildung. Bereits heute gibt es (zu) viele Menschen, welche nach der obligatorischen Schulzeit keine Ausbildung beginnen und "nur" arbeiten gehen, da sie so viel mehr Geld verdienen. Dies ist aber nicht der richtige Weg.
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 CS case proves it! Or the supervision has failed.
Der Fall CS beweist es ja! Oder die Aufsicht hat versagt.
Liberalizzare completamente il mercato dell'elettricità

This is getting too complicated. In the region for the region.

Make housing construction regulations more flexible

Empty space under an existing roof, do we really want to afford that for much longer?

Wage equality between women and men

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The existing is sufficient.
Das Bestehende reicht aus.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Old solutions for old problems! There must be no further destruction of cultivated land in favor of highways. New ideas are needed: double-decker, mono-railway, cable cars, Swiss-Metro, carpooling......
Alte Lösungen für alte Probleme! Es darf keine weitere Vernichtung von Kulturland zu Gunsten der Autobahnen geben. Neue Ideen sind gefragt: Doppelstöckig, Mono-Railbahn, Seilbahnen, Swiss-Metro, Fahrgemeinschaften......
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 infrastructure for electric vehicles is not yet in place nationwide. I also wonder whether the holistic cycle of the Stromer, including power generation, has been thought through to the end. Aren't we sliding right into the next crisis here?
Die Infrastruktur für die Stromer ist noch nicht flächendeckend da. Zudem frage ich mich, ob der ganzheitliche Zyklus der Stromer, inklusive der Stromerzeugung, zu Ende gedacht ist. Schlittern wir hier nicht gerade direkt in die nächste Krise?
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 |

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?

Eher ja, aber massvoll!
Authorize the construction of new nuclear power plants
Should the construction of new nuclear power plants in Switzerland be allowed again?

Comment
Final disposal has not been solved to date and will never be solved.
Die Endlagerung ist bis heute nicht gelöst und wird nie gelöst werden können.
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
If the state does not do it, no one will. This serves to reduce further migration.
Wenn es der Staat nicht tut wird es niemand tun. Dies dient dazu die weitere Abwanderung zu verringern.
Introduce progressive electricity tariffs

Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Agriculture is doing its part to protect the climate. Since it is directly affected by climate change, agriculture has no other option. It seems important to me that the financially weak family farms are finally supported again.
Die Landwirtschaft leistet ihren Anteil an den Klimaschutz. Da sie direkt vom Klimawandel betroffen ist, bleibt der Landwirtschaft auch keine andere Möglichkeit. Wichtig erscheint mir, dass die finanzschwachen familiären Vollerwerbsbetriebe endlich wieder gefördert werden.
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
Stop! Swiss agriculture is comprehensively controlled and already guarantees an incredible animal welfare, which is unmatched worldwide. There is no point in elevating these regulations to such a throne, which cannot be reached by any other country. First, all imported products must reach our standards before they are raised any further.
Stopp! Die Schweizer Landwirtschaft wird umfassend kontrolliert und garantiert schon heute ein unglaubliches Tierwohl, welches weltweit unerreicht ist. Es bringt nichts diese Regelungen auf einen derartigen Thron zu heben, welches von keinem anderen Land erreicht werden kann. Zuerst müssen sämtliche Importprodukte unsere Standards erreichen, bevor diese weiter angehoben werden.
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
Less land equals less food equals more imports - is that what we want? The population of Switzerland wants to eat, where should the food come from?
Weniger Fläche gleich weniger Lebensmittel gleich mehr Importe - wollen wir das? Die Bevölkerung der Schweiz will essen, woher soll das Essen kommen?
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
Bans? And what about import things? Incentives are more positive. But as always, to achieve something, everyone has to participate and be held accountable. Individual players or industries can't fix it alone.
Verbote? Und wie steht es mit den Importsachen? Anreize sind positiver. Aber wie immer, um etwas zu erreichen müssen Alle mitmachen und in die Verantwortung genommen werden. Einzelne Player oder Branchen können es nicht alleine richten.
More sustainable use of electronic devices

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 |

This standard is coming one way or another. It makes no sense to exclude ourselves here and live an insular existence.
Dieser Standard kommt so oder so. Es macht keinen Sinn sich hier auszunehmen und ein Inseldasein zu fristen.
Digitizing public services

Yes, but...... Digitalization offers great opportunities. Unfortunately, however, the pressure on people continues to increase unchecked. Perhaps we should take a closer look at who is actually benefiting from the expansion of digitization.

Here, too, there are of course distinctions as to whether resocialization is indicated or not. The fact is that a prison inmate costs a lot of money every day without bringing any benefit to society.

Life expectancy and standard of living are increasing, so it is a logical consequence. Of course, there need to be exceptions, especially for those who work very physically or in other sensitive industries.
Die Lebenserwartung und der Lebensstandart nehmen zu, daher ist es eine logische Konsequenz. Natürlich braucht es Ausnahmen für vor allem stark körperlich arbeitende oder andere heikle Branchen.
