| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
The naturalization process is massively discriminatory and should be fundamentally revised. The requirements for naturalization must therefore be relaxed at all levels and, above all, regulated at the national level.
Der Einbürgerungsprozess ist massiv diskriminierend und sollte grundlegend revidiert werden. Die Anforderungen für die Einbürgerung müssen deshalb auf allen Ebenen gelockert und vor allem auf nationaler Ebene geregelt 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Regardless of whether someone is a qualified professional or not, they should be allowed to live and work in Switzerland. There is no need for a limit for this. Nevertheless, it is important not to look for skilled workers abroad if there is also a shortage of skilled workers in the same industry in other countries. Here we need to create incentives through improved labor rights and good wages to counteract the shortage of skilled workers.
Unabhängig davon, ob jemand qualifizierte Fachkraft ist oder nicht sollte man in der Schweiz leben und arbeiten dürfen. Dafür braucht es keine Begrenzung. Es ist dennoch wichtig nicht Fachkräfte im Ausland zu suchen, wenn in anderen Ländern ebenfalls ein Fachkräftemangel in derselben Branche herrscht. Hier müssen wir durch verbesserte Arbeitsrechte und guten Löhnen Anreize schaffen, um dem Fachkräftemangel entgegenzuwirken.

Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Our modern understanding of gender goes far beyond man and woman. A third gender entry would be a first important step to recognize the identity of people who are not in the binary spectrum. In addition, trans people need easier access at the national level to adjust their gender registration. To avoid all this bureaucracy, we could also abolish gender registration completely in the long run.
Unser modernes Geschlechterverständnis geht weit über Mann und Frau hinaus. Ein dritter Geschlechtseintrag wäre ein erster wichtiger Schritt, um den Menschen ihre Identität anzuerkennen, welche nicht im binären Spektrum sind. Zusätzlich braucht es für trans Personen auf nationaler Ebene erleichterten Zugang, um den Geschlechtseintrag anzupassen. Um all diese Bürokratie zu umgehen könnten wir den Geschlechtseintrag langfristig auch komplett abschaffen.

Finances & taxes

Comment
The broad population must be relieved financially - but only coupled with higher corporate taxes for large corporations, capital income taxes, taxes on very large fortunes and inheritances. Ä
Die breite Bevölkerung muss finanziell entlastet werden -aber nur gekoppelt an höhere Unternehmenssteuern für Grosskonzerne, Kapitaleinkommenssteuern, Steuern auf sehr grosse Vermögen und Erbschaften. Ä
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
There is an urgent need for higher and nationally regulated inheritance tax for the rich. The inheritance tax should be progressive. With higher assets, a higher percentage should be taxed. With the Initiative for a Future, the JUSO brings a new form of inheritance tax, which provides for an exemption amount of 50 million francs. It is intended to finance a social climate policy and will affect the people who are largely responsible for the climate crisis.
Es braucht dringen höhere und national geregelte Erbschaftsteuer für Reiche. Die Erbschaftssteuer soll progressiv eingerichtet sein. Bei höheren Vermögenswerten soll ein höherer Prozentsatz besteuert werden. Die JUSO bringt mit der Initiative für eine Zukunft eine neue Form von Erbschaftssteuer, welche einen Freibetrag von 50 Millionen Franken vorsieht. Sie soll eine soziale Klimapolitik finanzieren und wird die Menschen betreffen, welche im hohen Mase verantwortlich sind an der Klimakrise.

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
A complete ban on internal combustion engines is inevitable in the long term in order to take climate-friendly measures and minimize the damage of the climate crisis. But it must not happen at the expense of the population. In addition, a better public transport infrastructure, more and safer bicycle routes and a more efficient design of transport routes are needed. The abolition of mobility with fossil fuels must also be coupled with an expansion of renewable energies.
Ein komplettes Verbot von Verbrennungsmotoren ist langfristig unumgänglich, um Klimafreundliche Massnahmen zu treffen und den Schaden der Klimakrise zu minimieren. Es darf aber nicht auf Kosten der Bevölkerung passieren. Es braucht zusätzlich eine bessere Infrastruktur im öffentlichen Verkehr, mehr und sicherere Velowege und effizientere Gestaltung der Transportwege. Das Abschaffen von Mobilität mit fossilen Energieträgern muss ebenfalls gekoppelt sein an ein Ausbau von Erneuerbaren Energien.
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
For the most part, creating incentives and target agreements have been the federal government's strategy in climate policy to date. They are an essential part of climate policy, but go much too little far. Bans are needed to achieve our climate goals, but these should not be at the expense of the population, but should be financed by those who are driving the climate crisis through their investments in the financial sector, their power in the private sector and their lifestyle.
Mehrheitlich waren Anreize und Zielvereinbarungen zu schaffen die bisherige Strategie des Bundes in der Klimapolitik. Sie sind ein essenzieller Teil der Klimapolitik gehen aber viel zu wenig weit. Es braucht Verbote, um unsere Klimaziele zu erreichen diese sollen aber nicht auf Kosten der Bevölkerung passieren, sondern von jenen finanziert werden welche durch ihre Investitionen am Finanzplatz, ihrer Macht in der Privatwirtschaft und ihrem Lebensstil die Klimakrise vorantrieben.
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
Energy security must be possible completely without nuclear power. Nuclear power plants must be phased out in the long term by renewable energies. Especially in wind and solar energy, Switzerland still has a great potential for expansion.
Energiesicherheit muss komplett ohne Kernkraft möglich sein. Atomkraftwerke müssen langfristig durch erneuerbare Energien abgeschafft werden. Vor allem in der Wind- und Solarenergie hat die Schweiz noch ein grosses Ausbaupotential.

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
The EU is a good concept of international cooperation which can be very profitable for Switzerland and Europe in areas such as climate, education and research or health. However, the EU is far too undemocratically structured and lags far behind in topics such as wage protection and migration. It is also largely to blame for the death of people on the run. An EU membership of Switzerland I see in the current state of the EU as very critical.
Die EU ist ein gutes Konzept von internationaler Zusammenarbeit welche in Bereichen wie Klima, Bildung und Forschung oder Gesundheit sehr gewinnbringen sein kann für die Schweiz und Europa. Jedoch ist die EU viel zu undemokratisch aufgebaut und in Themen wie Lohnschutz und Migration weit hinterherhinkt. Ebenfalls ist sie in grossen Teilen Mitschuld für das Sterben von Menschen auf der Flucht. Ein EU beitritt der Schweiz sehe ich im Momentanen Zustand der EU als sehr kritisch.

In order to make our agriculture more ecologically sustainable, small farms in particular need financial and logistical support. Climate policy should not be made at the expense of farmers and must therefore be supported more by the federal government.

Public security can mean many things. What it needs more of are contact points for people who are affected by sexual violence, an expansion of civil defense because the consequences of climate change will make demands on it, and better cyber security. What is not needed is more police presence and video surveillance.
Öffentliche Sicherheit kann vieles bedeuten. Was es mehr braucht, sind Anlaufstationen für Menschen, welche von sexueller Gewalt betroffen sind, ein Ausbau des Zivilschutzes da die Folgen des Klimawandels diesen in Anspruch nehmen werden und bessere Cybersicherheit. Was es nicht braucht, ist mehr Polizeipräsenz und Videoüberwachung.

In principle, each child should be supported according to his or her own abilities and needs. School classes must be structured in such a way that they allow for a wide range of cognitive abilities. Especially for the social environment, it is essential that students who have special learning needs can learn in a conventional school class, if this is possible.
Grundsätzlich sollte jedes Kind nach den eigenen Möglichkeiten und Bedürfnissen gefördert werden. Schulklassen müssen so aufgebaut sein, dass sie es Zulassen ein breites Band an kognitiven Fähigkeiten zulassen. Vor allem für das soziale Umfeld ist es essenziel, dass Schüler*innen welche besondere Lernbedürfnisse haben in einer konventionellen Schulklasse lernen können, wenn dies möglich ist.
