|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Better equality of all couple relationships on this issue.
Bessere Gleichstellung aller Paar-Beziehungen in dieser Frage.
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
It would be much more important to individualize the actual retirement age, e.g., according to the health risks of a corresponding work activity.
Viel wichtiger wäre die Individualisierung des tatsächlichen Pensionsalters z. B. entsprechend den Gesundheistrisiken einer entsprechenden Arbeitstätigkeit
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
This issue should be delegated more to the cantons, which can(t) act better and stronger situationally.
Diese Frage sollte stärker an die Kantone delegiert werden, die situativ besser und stärker agieren könn(t)en.

Should insured persons contribute more to health care costs (e.g., increase the minimum deductible)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Only if, at the same time, health insurance premiums are reduced in a socially just manner. In addition to minimum deductibles, family doctor models - for the unbureaucratic treatment of minor cases - should also be promoted.
Nur, wenn gleichzeitig die Krankenkassen-Prämien auf sozial gerechte Weise gesenkt werden. Nebst Mindestfranchisen sind auch Hausarzt-Modelle - zur unbürokratischen Tirage reiner Bagatell-Fälle - zu fördern.
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
Pandemic control is clearly an executive task and cannot be delegated to the cantons.
Pandemie-Bekämpfung ist klar eine Exekutiv-Aufgabe und diese lässt sich sinnvollerweise auch nicht an die Kantone delegieren.
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
Since almost everything else in health policy is already centralized at the federal level, the (very expensive) location and investment decisions should also be centralized, e.g. via the cantonal structure plans: In the form of site approval by the Federal Council should be centralized accordingly.
Weil sonst schon fast alles in der Gesundheitspolitik beim Bund zentralisiert ist, sollten auch die (sehr teuren) Standort- und Investitionsentscheide, z. B. via die kantonalen Richtplanungen: In Form einer Standort-Genehmigung durch den Bundesrat entsprechend zentralisiert werden.
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
Ultimately, however, no support measure avoids individual clarifications and it is hardly possible to lay down generally applicable regulations.
Es führt aber letztlich keine Fördermassnahme um die individuellen Abklärungen herum und es können kaum allgemeingültige Regelungen festgeschrieben werden.
Tighten the requirements for obtaining a high school diploma
Should the federal government raise the requirements for the gymnasiale matura?

|---|---|---|---|
Comment

Aber primär auf staatlicher(kantonaler) Ebene - wie oben...

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 |

Liberalizzare completamente il mercato dell'elettricità

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
This fragr should be assigned to the "department" environmental protection or if necessary to a new department "spatial planning"! The pending list, e.g. for the existing noise protection measures, is currently much too long; moreover, the dangers of ghetto formation should be avoided.
Diese fragr sollte dem "Ressort" Umweltschutz oder ggf. einem neuen Ressort "Raumplanung" zugeteilt werden! Die Pendenzenliste z. B. beim den bestehenden Lärmschutzmassnahmen ist aktuell noch viel zu lange; Überdies sollten die Gefahren der Ghetto-Bildung vermieden werden.

|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Any, climate-protective measures are urgent and welcome
Jegliche, klimaschützende Massnahmen sind dringend und willkommen
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
However, procedures must be accelerated and simplified; abusive appeals (by the judiciary) must be prevented. But existing protection regulations are to be adhered to - whenever possible. Long-range, ecological compensation measures are to be promoted and demanded more strongly and effectively.
Die Verfahren sind jedoch zu beschleunigen und zu vereinfachen; missbräuchliche Rekurse (durch die Judikative) zu verhindern. Aber an bestehenden Schutzvorschriften ist - wenn immer möglich - festzuhalten. Weiträumige, ökologische Kompensationsmassnahmen sind stärker und effektiver zu fördern und zu fordern.
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
Nevertheless, the corresponding research on the decommissioning of the existing nuclear power plants must not be neglected.

|---|---|---|---|
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
Plastic should above all be collected in a controlled and consistent manner and kept away from water bodies. It can serve as (welcome, stackable and seasonal) fuel for district heating systems, for example. Moreover, when recyclable plastic becomes non-recyclable is difficult to define.
Plastik sollte vor allem kontrolliert und konsequent eingesammelt und von Gewässern ferngehalten werden. Er kann als (willkommener, stapelbarer und saisonaler) Brennstoff z. B. für die Fernwärmeheizungen dienen. Wann rezyklierbarer zu nicht-rezyklierbarem Kunststoff wird, ist zudem schwer definierbar.

Es sollte auch zum Schutz von Bäumen, Insekten - vor allem Bienen - genügend Freiflächen geben, die von jeglicher elektromagnetischer Strahlung dauerhaft verschont bleiben.
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
Above all, standardize and coordinate data protection requirements among the cantons
Vor allem Datenschutz-Vorgaben unter den Kantonen vereinheitlichen und koordinieren
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)?
