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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The fact that a married couple receives 150% AVS, rather than 200%, is discriminatory and an outdated legacy of a time when only one of the couple worked. We must put an end to this inequality.
Le fait de toucher 150% d’AVS pour un couple marié, plutôt que 200%, est discriminatoire et est un héritage dépassé d’une époque où seule une des deux personnes du couple travaillait. Il faut mettre fin à cette inégalité.
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
In view of the age pyramid (increase in the number of pensioners + reduction in the number of working people), the 2nd pillar needs to be restructured to ensure its long-term viability. In this context, a slight reduction in the conversion rate is a welcome measure. However, it must be part of a package that also includes an increase in low wages (which would also lead to an increase in social security contributions, and would also benefit the 2nd pillar).
Compte tenu de la pyramide des âges (augmentation des retraités + réduction des actifs), le 2ème pilier doit être assaini pour être pérennisé. Dans ce cadre, une faible baisse du taux de conversion constitue une mesure opportune. Elle doit cependant être prise dans un paquet qui inclut parallèlement l'augmentation des bas salaires (augmentation qui induirait également une augmentation des cotisations sociales et bénéficierait aussi au 2ème pilier).
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
I'm more in favor of a system that would equalize the father's leave with that of the mother. A system of parental leave would still be a system where the father risks taking less leave than the mother, with the consequence that the mother remains de facto outside the professional circuit, as she is today.
Je suis plutôt en faveur d'un système qui égaliserait le congé du père avec celui de la mère. Un système de congé parental resterait à l'heure actuelle un système où le père risque de prendre moins de congé que la mère, avec pour conséquence que celle-ci reste de fait en dehors du circuit professionnel, comme aujourd'hui.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Rather than an obligation, incentives could be introduced, for example to cover illnesses contracted as a result of voluntary non-vaccination.
Plutôt qu'une obligation, on pourrait introduire des incitatifs, par exemple en ce qui concerne la prise en charge des maladies contractées en raison d'une non-vaccination volontaire.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
We also need to increase the attractiveness of apprenticeships, and create transition-related career paths (in particular, a career path in the solar industry, accessible through apprenticeships).
Il faut également augmenter l'attrait de l'apprentissage et créer des filières dans les métiers de la transition (notamment, une filière dans les métiers du solaire, accessible par l'apprentissage).
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Given Switzerland's very low birth rate, we need foreign workers in all fields and at all levels of training.
Compte tenu de très faible taux de natalité en Suisse, nous avons besoin d'une main-d'oeuvre étrangère dans tous les domaines et niveaux de formation.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|

Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Direct active euthanasia is a medical intervention that causes a person's death at his or her request. It is an extreme act, which goes against doctors' oaths and medical ethics. In my view, direct active euthanasia should remain prohibited, as long as assisted suicide and passive euthanasia (therapeutic abstention/withdrawal) are authorized, respectively not punished.
L'euthanasie active directe consiste en une intervention médicale qui cause la mort d'une personne à sa demande. C'est un acte extrême, qui va à l'encontre du serment des médecins et de la déontologie médicale. De mon point de vue, l'euthanasie active directe doit restée interdite, du moment que le suicide assisté et l'euthanasie passive (abstention/retrait thérapeutique) sont autorisés, respectivement ne sont pas punis.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
As I'm not personally concerned, I'm of the opinion that people remain free and don't feel entitled to close the door on a third gender for those who feel concerned.
N'étant pas personnellement concerné, je suis d'avis que les personnes restent libres et ne me sens pas habilité à fermer la porte à un troisième genre pour les personnes qui se sentent concernées.
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
Individual taxation poses practical difficulties, especially when the couple has children. It also entails an increase in bureaucracy (double declarations to be made and analyzed), all the more so if the change is made only at federal level, with cantonal/communal taxation remaining on the basis of joint taxation. I'm in favor of the alternative tax calculation, which reduces tax discrimination against married couples, without these disadvantages.
L'imposition individuelle pose des difficultés pratiques, notamment lorsque le couple à des enfants. Elle implique aussi une augmentation de la bureaucratie (doublement des déclarations à faire et analyser), ce d'autant si le changement se fait uniquement au niveau fédéral, l'imposition cantonale/communale restant sur la base d'une imposition commune. Je suis en faveur du calcul alternatif de l'impôt, qui réduit la discrimination fiscale des couples mariés, sans ces désavantages.
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 |

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
A minimum wage distorts the labor market and, according to studies, penalizes the least qualified workers, since the wage argument is no longer relevant. In other words, those who should be protected are left with an increased risk of unemployment. What's needed is constructive collaboration between unions and employers, with sector-specific collective agreements.
Un salaire minimum constitue une distorsion sur la marché du travail et pénalise, selon les études, les travailleur.euses les moins qualifié.e.s, l'argument du salaire n'étant plus relevant. Autrement dit, les personnes qui devraient être protégées se retrouvent avec un risque de chômage augmenté. Il faut plutôt une collaboration constructive entre les syndicats et le patronat, pour des conventions collectives propres et adaptées à chaque secteur.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
At the same time, we need to be able to meet the objectives of densification of the built environment (cf. new LAT of 2014), especially in urban areas.

To achieve climate targets, should incentives and target agreements be relied on exclusively, rather than bans and restrictions?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Should the construction of new nuclear power plants in Switzerland be allowed again?
| 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 |

Making provisions for the protection of large predators more flexible

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The world of agriculture is changing, and farmers are the key players. We need to support them, to move towards a productive and responsible agriculture. We must be careful not to be counter-productive and drive up the price of local products, while foreign products are cheaper but of lower quality. At consumer level, there should be awareness-raising and incentives to buy local products.
Le monde agricole est en mutation et les agriculteur.trice.s en sont les principaux acteurs. Il faut les accompagner, pour aller vers une agriculture productrice et responsable. Attention à ne pas être contre-productif et à créer une augmentation des prix des produits locaux, alors que les produits étrangers sont moins chers mais de moins bonne qualité. A l'échelle du consommateur, il devrait y avoir une sensibilisation et des incitations à acheter des produits locaux.
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)?

More sustainable use of electronic devices

| 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In addition to the health risks, 5G technology is much more energy-intensive. This goes against the grain of the lower energy consumption required to ensure a sovereign and secure energy supply and to do without fossil fuels (which will disappear sooner or later in the case of oil).
Plus que les risques pour la santé, la technologie 5G utilise beaucoup plus energivore. C'est à contre-courant avec la baisse de consommation demandée pour avoir un approvisionnement énergétique souverain et assuré et pour se passer des énergies fossiles (qui vont disparaître tôt ou tard s'agissant du pétrole).
Digitizing public services

Swiss-EU relations would then be definitively dead, with disastrous consequences for our economy, tourism (Europeans will need a visa if they want to come to Switzerland), scientific and security cooperation, and, more generally, the mobility of the population, for work, training or leisure.

Return to a strict interpretation of neutrality
Should Switzerland return to a strict interpretation of neutrality (renounce economic sanctions to a large extent)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Neutrality is not a legally defined concept, and its definition evolves with time and context. Under no circumstances can neutrality justify an absence of reaction to violations of international law, the territorial integrity of a sovereign state, or international security and stability. Seen in this light, the principle of neutrality would be tantamount to complicity with those who apply the law of the strongest, and should be abandoned.
La neutralité n'est pas une notion juridiquement définie et et dont la définition évolue au fil du temps et du contexte. La neutralité ne peut en aucun cas justifier une absence de réaction face à la violation du droit international, de l'intégrité territoriale d'un Etat souverain ainsi que de la sécurité et la stabilité internationales. Ainsi considéré, le principe de neutralité reviendrait à nous rendre complices de celui qui applique la loi du plus fort et devrait être abandonné.

In my view, the free-market economy is a viable model, with the exception of certain areas that should remain regulated/public (in particular schools and healthcare). Intervention may be appropriate in certain cases, in order to promote overriding interests (e.g. increasing VAT to finance the AHV).
De mon point de vue, l'économie de libre marché est un modèle viable, à l'exception de certains domaines qui doivent rester régulés/publics (en particulier l'école et la santé). Une intervention peut être indiquée dans certains cas, afin de promouvoir des intérêts prépondérants (par ex. augmentation de la TVA pour financer l'AVS).

Digitization is an opportunity, but it also has its drawbacks: we need to train people to use it properly, fight against abuse (addiction, fake news, etc.), limit digital pollution and the energy used.

Environmental protection and economic growth are not irreconcilable. I'm convinced that the environment and climate can be protected in a growth model. However, the system and society must adapt to take better account of the environment and climate. We need to prepare today to live in a world where we'll have less, which doesn't mean we'll be in decline.
Protection de l'environnement et croissance économique ne sont pas inconciliable. Je suis convaincu que l'environnement et le climat peuvent être protégés dans un modèle de croissance. Cependant, le système et la société doivent s'adapter pour mieux tenir compte de l'environnement et du climat. Il faut se préparer aujourd'hui à vivre dans un monde où nous aurons moins, ce qui n'implique pas d'être en décroissance.

Comment
Before we take on any additional healthcare costs, we need to take swift, effective measures to limit the rise in costs (electronic records, more generics on the market, regulations on drug prices, etc.). Otherwise, costs will continue to rise, and will be further tax-financed by the impoverished middle class.
Avant une prise en charge supplémentaire des couts de la santé, il faut prendre des mesures rapides et efficaces pour limiter l’augmentation des coûts (dossier électronique, mise sur le marché de plus de génériques, réglementations sur le prix des médicaments, …). Sinon, les coûts vont continuer de grimper et seront davantage financés via l'impôt par la classe moyenne, qui s’appauvrira.
