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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |

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
Alle sollen einfachen Zugang zu Impfstoffen haben, Bildung und proaktive Impfkampagnen sind wichtig, aber repressive Konsequenzen einer Impfpflicht (wie z.B. Bussen) finde ich kritisch. Auch wichtig ist aber, dass man solidarisch aufeinander Rücksicht nimmt, da trägt Impfen zum Schutz vulnerabler Personen bei.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Die Zuckersteuer ist eine Konsumsteuer. Solche Steuern treffen Menschen mit niedrigem Einkommen unverhältnismässig und sind entsprechend unsozial. Die Redukton des Zuckergehalts in Lebensmitteln kann über andere Massnahmen gefördert werden.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Es ist wichtig, dass in Pandemien schnell gehandelt werden kann und der Bundesrat schnell die notwendigen Massnahmen treffen kann. Massnahmen, die das Privatleben der Menschen stark einschränken, sollen aber mit Zurückhaltung ausgesprochen werden und verhältnismässig sein und müssen abgewogen werden. (z.B: Maskenpflicht sinnvoll, soziale Beschränkungen im privaten Raum manchmal notwendig, sollten aber nicht weiter gehen als die Einschränkungen für die Privatwirtschaft).
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
Die Versorgung der Bevölkerung mit Gesundheitsdienstleistungen ist Aufgabe des Bundes. Die aktuelle Zusammensetzung des Parlaments führt dazu, dass die rechten Parteien auch in diesem Bereich Budgetkürzungen durchsetzen. Auch in den meisten Kantonen wird leider oft eine neoliberale Gesundheitspolitik verfolgt. Eine bundesweite Planung ist sinnvoll, es braucht aber mehr Ressourcen (und allenfalls Möglichkeiten für Kantone, zusätzliche Ressourcen zu finanzieren).
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
Mit genügend Ressourcen zur Unterstützung in den Regelklassen!
Tighten the requirements for obtaining a high school diploma

|---|---|---|---|
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
Ja, aber dies muss mit dem Ausbau von flankierenden Massnahmen einhergehen. So kann verhindert werden, dass die Arbeitgeber*innen Löhne senken und Arbeitsbedingungen verschlechtern.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Oder sogar nach einem Jahr. Schliesslich arbeiten die Menschen hier, bezahlen Steuern hier und sind Teil eines sozialen Umfelds. Nicht mitbestimmten zu können, wie das Leben hier gestaltet ist, ist deshalb zutiefst ungerecht.
Society & ethics
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
Aber wichtig, gleichzeitig das System zu verbessern, damit nicht Leute in die Sterbehilfe gedrängt werden, weil z.B. Behandlungen zu teuer sind oder sie als Last gesehen werden.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Dies ist eine kurzfristige Lösung, die dazu dient, die Realität zu widerspiegeln, die von vielen Menschen in der Schweiz gelebt wird und die heute durch die Geschlechter-Binarität unsichtbar gemacht wird. Langfristig muss das Ziel jedoch die Abschaffung des Geschlechtseintrags sein.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Die direkte Bundessteuer ist eine der solidarischsten Steuern. Reiche und Unternehmen zahlen mehr, aufgrund progressiver Tarife. Eine Reduktion der direkten Bundessteuer würde nur die Reichen noch reicher werden lassen und den Service public schwächen. Auf kantonaler und kommunaler Ebene könnte eine Erhöhung der Kapitalsteuer die Bevölkerung und die Lohnabhängigen entlasten.
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
Der Freibetrag könnte höher sein, bzw. sollte die Erbschaftssteuer progressiv sein und der Steuerfaktor auf sehr hohe Erbschaften soll deutlich höher sein als jene auf tiefere Beträge.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|

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
Es braucht mehr bezahlbaren, guten Wohnraum, statt den Immobilienhaien noch grösseren Profit zu ermöglichen, indem sie schlechtere Wohnungen bauen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Energy & transport

|---|---|---|---|
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
Und gleichzeitig ÖV ausbauen und sehr viel günstiger machen, wenn nicht sogar gratis.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Grundsätzlich sollen Lösungen gefunden werden, für die keine Umwelt-und Landschaftsschutzvorschriften gelockert werden müssen, in manchen Fällen ist es eine Abwägungsfrage und kann doch legitim sein.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Ensure a comprehensive range of public services
Should the state guarantee a comprehensive public service offering also in rural regions?

|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Nicht für Privathaushalte. Könnte sinnvoll sein bei grossen Unternehmen, die viel Strom verbrauchen und wenn es nicht nötig/nicht im öffentlichen Interesse ist.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Die Initiative greift die öffentlichen Medien an. Aber diese sind zentral für eine funktionierende Demokratie. Die Radio- und Fernsehabgaben sind aber sozial ungerecht, weil Menschen mit Mindestlohn gleich viel zahlen müssen wie Millionär*innen. Also: Für solidarisch finanzierte öffentliche Medien.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Introducing an optional financial referendum against federal spending

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Die Ukraine (und alle Länder, die militärischen Aggressionen ausgesetzt sind) haben das Recht auf Selbstverteidigung. In erster Linie müssen Oligarchen-Gelder eingefroren werden (aktuell nur 7.5 von 200 Milliarden CHF). Auch die Wiederausfuhr von Waffen muss möglich sein, allerdings darf das nicht das Kernthema sein und darf nicht für generelle Lockerungen der Waffenexportbedingungen missbraucht werden, um der Waffenindustrie Profit zu verschaffen.

Die Digitalisierung bietet viele Chancen. Um ihr Potential auszuschöpfen brauchen wir jedoch viel mehr demokratische Kontrolle: Z.B, über Profite, damit wir bei gleichem Lohn weniger arbeiten können, statt unsere Jobs zu verlieren. Oder über soziale Medien, damit wir uns vernetzen und helfen können, anstatt unsere Daten für persönalisierte Werbung verkauft zu sehen.

Eine Wirtschaft sollte das Ziel haben, Ressourcen zu koordinieren, damit alle Menschen ein gutes Leben haben. Nicht auf Biegen und Brechen zu wachsen, damit die Aktionär*innen immer mehr Profit abschöpfen können.

Wenn wir mit Sicherheit die Polizei gemeint ist, dann deutlich weniger, weil die Polizei repressiv und strukturell rassistisch ist und entweder nicht die Aufgaben erfüllt, die sie vorgibt zu erfüllen, und/oder andere die Aufgaben besser erfüllen könnten. Aber wenn mit öffentlicher Sicherheit gemeint ist, dass zb. Präventivmassnahmen gegen sexuelle Überbriffe ergriffen werden, dann müsste deutlich mehr investiert werden.

Aber bedingungslos, also ohne, dass empfangende Länder der Schweiz dann etwas schulden und immer im Wissen, dass die Schweiz als Steueroase diesen Ländern mehr Steuern klaut als sie ihnen in Entwicklungsgeldern gibt.
Comment
Es braucht höhere Renten für alle, und eine Anpassung an die Teuerung. Eine Deckelung der Maximalrente ist sinnvoll (gibt es auch bereits), allerdings soll der Zivilstand keinen Einfluss auf die Höhe der Rente haben.
