Only for the socially needy and heavily burdened families. However, not basically according to the Giesskannenprinizip.
Nur für die sozial Bedürftigen und stark beanspruchte Familien. Jedoch nicht grundsätzlich nach dem Giesskannenprinizip.
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
We also have a responsibility to the younger generation. Otherwise, the pension fund will become even more difficult to finance.
Wir tragen auch eine Verantwortung gegenüber der jüngeren Generation. Die Pensionskasse wird sonst noch schwerer finanzierbar.
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]

|---|---|---|---|
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
I think the current support is sufficient. Even more regulations and a higher state quota will not bring any improvement.
Ich finde die gegenwärtige Unterstützung ausreichend. Noch mehr Regulative und eine höhere Staatsquote bringen keine Verbesserung.
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
I consider the vaccination plan to be sensible. However, state interventionism before personal responsibility is the wrong approach.
Ich erachte den Impfplan als sinnvoll. Jedoch ist staatlicher Interventionismus vor Eigenverantwortung der falsche Ansatz.
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 |

Federal competence for national hospital planning

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Again, I think we should make better use of the legislation that already exists instead of encouraging even more government intervention.
Auch hier finde ich : wir sollten die bereits existierenden Gesetzgebung besser ausnützen statt noch mehr staatliche Interventionen zu fördern.
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 concept is good in theory. Practically, it cannot be implemented and if so, then at the expense of the good students. On the part of the teachers, the concept of the integrative school is also very demanding, which leads to many cases of burnout. We should concentrate again on promoting a performance-oriented school in the regular classes.
Das Konzept ist gut in der Theorie. Praktisch lässt es sich nicht umsetzen und wenn dann auf Kosten der guten Schüler. Auf Seiten der Lehrer ist das Konzept der integrativen Schule ebenfalls sehr anspruchsvoll, was zu vielen Burn-out Fällen führt. Wir sollten uns wieder darauf konzentrieren bei den regulären Klassen eine Leistungsorientierte Schule zu fördern.
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
Today, the Matura only insufficiently prepares students for university, especially the ETH. There is too great a discrepancy here, and I see the ability of high school graduates to connect with university as being at risk.
Die Matura bereitet heute nur ungenügend auf die Hochschule, insbesondere die ETH vor. Hier herrscht eine zu grosse Diskrepanz, die Anschlussfähigkeit der Maturanden für die Universität sehe ich damit gefährdet.
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 has done a lot in recent years. It would do well to stop and focus on the essentials.
Der Staat hat in den letzten Jahren viel gemacht. Ein Marschhalt mit Fokus auf das Wesentliche täte hier gut.

Increase the quota of third-country nationals for skilled workers

Comment
We should focus on strengthening the domestic education and bring the dual education system back to the forefront, which helps the integration and competitiveness of Switzerland.
Wir sollten eine Fokus darauf legen die innländische Ausbildung zu stärken und das Duale Bildungssystem wieder in den Vordergrund zu rücken, das hilft der Integration und der Konkurrenzfähigkeit der Schweiz
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 |

The example of CS shows that personal responsibility cannot be enforced by legal regulation, but a closer look is necessary.
Das Beispiel CS zeigt dass sich Eigenverantwortung auch durch gesetzliche Regulierung nicht erzwingen lässt, jedoch ist ein genaueres Hinschauen notwendig.

The market is supposed to regulate this. With Generation Z, there are more women on the labor market. They are already using this power - and rightly so.
Der Markt soll das Regeln. Mit der Generation Z hat es mehr Frauen am Arbeitsmarkt. Sie spielen -zu Recht- diese Macht bereits aus.

Comment
I take a differentiated view. In principle, life expectancy and also the general fitness of the generation over 60 is higher today in Switzerland than it was 40 years ago. I see women and men as having equal rights. In addition, many Swiss people today work in service professions with no longer the same physical demands as in the past. However, there are occupational groups with strong physical stress (construction, service) there we should stay at 65 years.
Ich betrachte das differenziert. Grundsätzlich ist in der Schweiz die Lebenserwartung und auch die allgemeine Fitness Generation über 60 heute höher als noch vor 40 Jahren. Frauen und Männer sehe ich als gleichberechtigt. Zudem arbeiten heute viele Schweizerinnen und Schweizer in Dienstleistungsberufen mit nicht mehr derselben körperlichen Beanspruchung wie früher. Es gibt jedoch Berufsgruppen mit starker körperlicher Belastung (Bau, Service) dort sollten wir bei 65 Jahren bleiben.
