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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The second pillar is less politically deadlocked than the AHV. At this point in time, we should not be fixated on one approach and must keep the debate open for all sustainable solutions. The present BVG reform is one possible approach. But it is not the only one.
Die zweite Säule ist politisch weniger festgefahren als die AHV. Man darf sich zum jetztigen Zeitpunkt noch nicht auf eine Stossrichtungen versteifen und muss die Debatte für alle nachhaltigen Lösungsvorschläge offen halten. Die vorliegende BVG-Reform ist ein möglicher Ansatz. Aber es ist nicht der einzige.
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
Not an expansion, but a flexibilization: father and mother together have a certain number of weeks at their disposal, which they can divide between them.
Kein Ausbau, aber eine Flexibilisierung: Vater und Mutter haben gemeinsam eine gewisse Anzahl Wochen zu Verfügung, die sie zwischen sich 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Particularly voluntary measures are to be promoted (e.g. also the increase of the maximum deductible)
Besonders freiwillige Massnahmen sollen gefördert werden (z.B. auch die Erhöhung der maximalen Franchise)
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
A common strategy / thrust of the cantons must be strived for in order to avoid drastic differences in performance. But the decision-making authority in concrete cases should still remain with the cantons.
Eine gemeinsame Strategie / Stossrichtung der Kantone muss angestrebt werden, um drastische Leistungsunterschiede zu vermeiden. Aber die Entscheidungshoheit im konkreten Falle sollte nach wie vor bei den Kantonen bleiben.
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
An offer for social exchange should continue to exist, but low-performing children should be trained individually according to their needs without negatively influencing the other children. This is effectively only possible in separate classes.
Ein Angebot zum sozialen Austausch soll weiterhin bestehen, aber leistungsschwache Kinder sollten individuell nach ihren Bedürfnissen geschult werden, ohne die anderen Kinder negativ zu beeinflussen. Dies ist effektiv nur in eigenen Klassen möglich.
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
A development toward American conditions must be avoided. The dual education system is still the best way to go in Switzerland.
Eine Entwicklung hin zu amerikanischen Verhältnissen ist zu vermeiden. Der duale Bildungsweg ist nach wie vor der Königsweg in der Schweiz.
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
Education is and remains a cantonal matter.
Bildung ist und bleibt Kantonssache.
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
Before discussing a relaxation / a tightening, one should discuss a unification. You get the same passport, but you have to fulfill drastically different criteria in the different cantons. Citizenship is a federal matter and therefore the naturalization procedure should also be fundamentally organized at the federal level - or at least at the cantonal level.
Bevor man über eine Lockerung / eine Verschärfung diskutiert, sollte man über eine Vereinheitlichung diskutieren. Man erhält denselben Pass, muss dafür in den unterschiedlichen Kantonen aber teils drastisch andere Kriterien erfüllen. Staatsangehörigkeit ist Bundessache und daher sollte auch das Einbürgerungsverfahren auch grundlegend auf Bundesebene - oder mindestens auf Kantonsebene - organisiert werden.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The asylum procedure should be shortened and standardized in principle, so that such measures do not even have to be discussed. Critical cases should receive a "no" without much trouble, potentially valuable members of society should not "clog up" the process for an unnecessarily long time - to their and our relief.
Das Asylverfahren ist grundsätzlich zu verkürzen und zu vereinheitlichen, damit solche Massnahmen gar nicht erst diskutiert werden müssen. Kritische Fälle sollten ohne grosse Umstände ein "Nein" erhalten, potentiell wertvolle Mitglieder der Gesellschaft sollten nicht unnötig lange den Prozess "verstopfen" - zu ihrer und unserer Entlastung.
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
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
With decriminalization, many of the concerns of consumers have already been achieved. The hoped-for positive effects of legalization - such as the eradication of the black market - are pure wishful thinking.
Mit der Entkriminalisierung sind viele der Anliegen der Konsumenten bereits erreicht. Die erhofften positiven Effekte der Legalisierung - wie Ausmerzen des Schwarzmarktes - sind reine Wunschfantasien.
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
Doctors should not be forced to do this if they have moral concerns. This is not a regular medical procedure and should not be treated as such.
Man darf Ärztinnen und Ärzte nicht dazu zwingen, wenn sie moralische Bedenken haben. Dies ist kein regulärer medizinischer Eingriff und soll auch nicht als solcher behandelt werden.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
However, this may only be open for biologically not clearly assignable persons (as intersexual born persons). A reinterpretation of gender away from biological reality cannot and must not become the norm.
Dieses darf allerdings nur für biologisch nicht klar zuordenbare Personen offen sein (als intersexuell geborene Personen). Eine Umdeutung von Geschlecht weg von biologischer Realität kann und darf nicht zur Norm werden.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Incentives to marry must be discussed due to the low birth rate in Switzerland.
Anreize zur Eheschliessung müssen aufgrund der Geburtenschwäche in der Schweiz diskutiert werden.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
The differences between industries, age and experience of employees and costs depending on where they live are too great to justify a minimum wage - no matter how high or low it is.
Die Unterschiede zwischen Branchen, Alter und Erfahrung der Angestellten und Kosten je nach Wohnort sind zu gross, alsdass ein Mindestlohn gerechtfertigt werden kann - egal wie hoch oder tief er ist.
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
The studies on which the assumption of wage inequality is based are incomplete and do not include various factors. This is clear to everyone by now. Without a scientific basis that "bewitches," one cannot in good conscience request a check.
Die Studien, auf denen die Annahme der Lohnungleichheit fusst, sind unvollständig und beziehen diverse Faktoren nicht mit ein. Dies ist mittlerweile allen klar. Ohne eine wissenschaftliche Grundlage, die "verhebt", kann man nicht guten Gewissens eine Kontrolle anfordern.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Nowadays, NPPs are no longer profitable in almost any case, but a ban is still the wrong signal.
Heutzutage sind KKWs zwar in fast keinem Fall mehr rentabel, dennoch ist ein Verbot das falsche Zeichen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
This question must ultimately be answered by the voters in the mountain cantons.
Diese Frage muss ultimativ das Stimmvolk in den Bergkantonen beantworten.
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Regulation of the Internet always sounds like upload filters and censorship to me. Even the state doesn't have a uniform standard for what content is critical and when exactly it has to intervene. That being said, the reduction in media quality and disinformation still worries me. But regulating the platforms is clearly the wrong way to go.
Regulierung des Internets klingt für mich immer nach Uploadfiltern und Zensur. Auch der Staat hat keinen einheitlichen Massstab dafür, welche Inhalte wie kritisch sind und wann genau eingegriffen werden muss. Davon abgesehen bereitet mir die Qualitätsminderung der Medien und Desinformation trotzdem Sorgen. Die Regulierung der Plattformen ist aber klar der falsche Weg.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The right to vote and to be elected is the most elevated right in a democracy. It should therefore be granted last, together with the last duties, which also apply only when the person reaches the age of majority.
Das Stimm- und Wahlrecht ist das am hochstehendste Recht in einer Demokratie. Es soll daher als letztes gewährt werden, gemeinsam mit den letzten Pflichten, die auch erst mit der Volljährigkeit gelten.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Before a concrete figure can be given, there must first be an in-depth analysis of the current threat situation. However, I cannot imagine any scenario in which an increase in the target stockpile is not necessary.
Bevor eine konkrete Zahl genannt werden kann, muss zunächst eine tiefgreifende Analyse der momentanen Bedrohungslage vorliegen. Allerdings kann ich mir kein Szenario vorstellen, in dem eine Erhöhung des Sollbestandes nicht notwendig ist.
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
However, some kind of defensive alliance with our neighboring states should not be categorically rejected.
Eine Art Verteidigungsbündnis mit unseren Nachbarsstaaten darf allerdings nicht kategorisch abgelehnt werden.
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 |

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?

Comment
A concrete pension increase must be handled on an industry-specific basis (bricklayers cannot work the same hours as office workers) Moreover, the retirement age increase alone does not solve the problem of old-age provision.
Eine konkrete Rentenerhöhung muss branchenspezifisch abgewickelt werden (Maurer können nicht gleich lange arbeiten wie Büroangestellte) Zudem ist alleine mit der Rentenaltererhöhung das Problem der Altersvorsorge noch nicht gelöst.
