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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Health insurance costs have exploded in recent years and the state should help people who cannot bear these costs. However, this alone is not the right way; it is imperative to work on the roots of the problem, namely the reason for the increase.
Die Krankenkassen-Kosten explodieren in den vergangenen Jahren und der Staat sollte Leuten, welche diese Kosten nicht tragen können unter die Arme greifen. Dies allein ist aber nicht der richtige Weg sondern es muss unbedingt an den Wurzeln des Problems, und zwar dem Grund für den Anstieg, gearbeitet werden.
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
Who works all his life and always pays into the AHV should also be able to draw from it in old age!
Wer sein lebenlang arbeitet und immer in die AHV einzahlt soll im Alter auch aus dieser beziehen können!
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
People are getting older and older. With a payout of 6.8% per year, the BVG can pay out a pension for 14.7 years after retirement with the assets paid in. With the conversion rate of 6% it would be 16.6 years. This buffer of 2 years provides a better cushion for the BVG and is therefore rather to be supported.
Die Menschen werden immer älter. Bei einer Auszahlung vom 6.8% pro Jahr kann die BVG nach Renteneintritt mit dem eingezahlten Vermögen 14.7 Jahre eine Rente auszahlen. MIt dem Umwandlungssatz von 6% wären es 16.6 Jahre. Dieser Puffer von 2 Jahren verschafft ein besseres Polster für die BVG und ist daher eher zu befürworten.
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
A good length of maternity and paternity leave is already available today. A further extension of these would cost the economy millions annually and is simply not sustainable.
Der Mutter- und Vaterschaftsurlaub ist bereits heute in einer guten länge vorhanden. Eine weitere Verlängerung dieser würde der Wirtschaft jährlich Millionen kosten und ist schlicht nicht tragbar.
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
Housing construction should be left primarily to the private sector and without major intervention by the state. be left to the private sector.
Der Wohnungsbau soll in erster Linie dem privaten Sektor und ohne grosse Eingriffe des Staates überlassen werden.
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
From a medical point of view, any other perspective is argumentatively untenable. Various diseases could already be eradicated or could have been eradicated if they had been vaccinated by everyone.
Aus medizinischer Sicht ist eine andere Perspektive argumentativ nicht haltbar. Diverse Krankheiten konnten bereits ausgerotet werden oder hätten bereits ausgerottet werden können, wenn sie von allen geimpft worden wären.
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
Sugar is demonstrably one of the worst drugs of our time and is a driver of various diseases which strongly press and will press on our health system. Since the health of the population is very important to me, I think a steering tax in this topic makes a lot of sense. This would also force large food manufacturers to consider where sugar could be saved.
Zucker ist nachweislich eine der schlimmsten Drogen unserer Zeit und ist Treiber von diversen Krankheiten welche stark auf unser Gesundheitssystem drücken und drücken werden. Da mir die Gesundheit der Bevölkerung sehr wichtig ist, halte ich eine Lenkungsabgabe in diesem Thema für sehr sinnvoll. Dadruch werden grosse Nahrungsmittelhersteller nämlich auch dazu gezwungen, sich zu überlegen, wo man Zucker einsparen könnte.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
A higher minimum deductible guarantees that people do not have to go to the doctor for every little thing and could relieve the burden on health insurance premiums to a certain extent, which would make it possible to finance serious illnesses such as cancer treatment for everyone.
Eine höhere Mindestfranchise garanitert, dass man nicht wegen jedem bisschen zum Arzt rennt und könnte die Krankassenprämien ein stückweit entlasten, womit die Finanzierung von schwerwiegenden Krankheitsbehandlungen wie Krebsbehandlungen für alle finanziert werden könnten.
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
In the future, at least the parliament should be involved in an urgent procedure before such serious decisions are made in order to ensure a broader support among the population.
Künftig soll zumindest das Parlament in einem Eilverfahren miteingbezogen werden bevor solch schwerwiegende Entscheidungen getroffen werden um eine breitere Abstüzung in der Bevölkerung zu gewährleisten.
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
If the federal government takes control in this matter, this will lead to a centralization in a few large cities to the detriment of many smaller regions, especially here in the canton of Graubünden.
Wenn der Bund in dieser Angelegenheit die Kontrolle übernimmt führt dies aus Kostengründen zu einer Zentralisierung in wenigen grossen Städten zum Nachteil vieler kleinerer Regionen gerade bei uns im Kanton Graubünden.
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
It is often not possible to provide sufficient support for these children, which is why they would be better off in their own classes with specially trained teachers.
Häufig ist eine genügende Förderung dieser Kinder nicht möglich, weshalb sie in eignen Klassen mit speziell dafür ausgebildeten Lehrpersonen besser aufgehoben wären.
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
I myself passed the Matura a few months ago. Nevertheless, I am of the opinion that the requirements must be raised significantly. We currently have far too many students at the expense of vocational training, where there is a shortage of workers in various industries.
Ich selbst absolvierte vor wenigen Monaten die Matura. Dennoch bin ich der Meinung, dass die Anforderungen deutlich nach oben geschraubt werden müssen. Wir haben momentan deutlich zuviele Studenten auf Kosten der Berufslehre, wo es dafür in diveresen Branchen an Arbeitskräften mangelt.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Immigration to Switzerland is extremely high, so it is important to pay particular attention to who integrates well and therefore becomes a naturalized citizen. Therefore, the requirements should not be lowered.
Die Zuwanderung in die Schweiz ist extrem hoch, darum gilt es besonders darauf zu achten wer sich gut integriert und demnach eingebürgert wird. Deshalb sollen auch die Anforderungen nicht gesenkt 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
If the economy is dependent on it, this possibility should exist temporarily. However, it is important to preferentially use local labor and not to rely on others only for reasons of cost expectation.
Wenn die Wirtschaft darauf angewiesen ist soll diese Möglichkeit zeitweise bestehen. Es gilt aber bevorzugt einheimische Arbeitskräfte zu nutzen und nicht nur aus Kostenerwartungsgründen auf andere zu setzten
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Our asylum system is hopelessly overburdened. To remedy this, we must be open to new ideas.
Unser Asylsystem ist hoffungslos überfordert. Um dem Abhilfe zu schaffen muss man offen für neue Ideen sein.
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
For me, the right to vote and to be elected is unconditionally linked to citizenship.
Das Stimm- und Wahlrecht ist für mich bedingungslos an die Staatsbürgerschaft gekoppelt.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The two much worse popular drugs, alcohol and cigarettes, are already legal. Personally, I believe in the principle of personal responsibility, even if recent studies show that cannabis does not exactly promote intelligence.
Die zwei viel schlimmeren Volksdrogen Alkohol und Zigaretten sind bereits legal. Ich persönlich setzte auf das Prinzip der Eigenverantwortung, auch wenn Cannabis neueren Studien zufolge nicht gerade intellignezfördernd ist.
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
Wanting to die is a personal decision, which should be possible without pain and without external influence.
Sterben zu wollen ist eine persönliche Entscheidung, welche schmerzfrei und ohne äussere Beeinflussung möglich sein soll
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
From a biological point of view, there are two sexes, man and woman, and it is already possible to change from one to the other if one identifies differently.
Aus biologischer Sicht gibt es die zwei Geschlechter Mann und Frau und es ist bereits heute möglich vom einem zu anderen zu wechseln, wenn man sich anders identifiziert.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Everyone should be allowed to love whom he wants and therefore also be able to marry. The only thing that must be prevented is the system of surrogate motherhood, which has been proven to cause extreme psychological damage to surrogate mothers. Against adoption or artificial insemination speaks but from my point of view nothing at all.
Jeder soll lieben dürfen wen er will und demnach auch heiraten können. Verhindert werden muss nur das System der Leihmutterschaft welches nachweislich extreme psychologische Schäden bei den Leihmüttern verursacht. Gegen Adoption oder künstliche Befruchtung spricht aber aus meiner Sicht überhaupt nichts.
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
Taxes in Switzerland are very high and a reduction is to be advocated.
Die Steuern in der Schweiz sind sehr hoch und eine Senkung ist zu befürworten.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The current marriage penalty is very backward for a country like Switzerland and urgently needs to be abolished!
Die heutige Heiratsstrafe ist für ein Land wie die Schweiz sehr rückständig und gehört dringend abgeschafft!
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
Many parents often take inheritance to their children into account when spending money in old age and therefore spend less. The state should not intervene in the legacies of parents.
Viele Eltern bedenken bei den Ausgaben im Alter das Erbe an die Kinder häufig mit ein und geben demnach weniger aus. Der Staat soll in die Hinterlassenschaften der Eltern nicht eingreifen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Fiscal equalization is a good thing because it prevents only the cantons with the lowest taxes from attracting the entire economy.
Der Finanzausgleich ist eine gute Sache da er verhindert, dass nur die Kantone mit den tiefsten Steuern die gesamte Wirtschaft zu sich ziehen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
It would definitely make sense to increase the capital requirements, as long as it doesn't restrict competitiveness too much. However, I don't think much of a bonus ban, since it should be possible to receive a reward for work done.
Die Eingenkapitalvorschriften zu erhöhen wäre defintiv sinnvoll, solange es die Konkurrenzfähigkeit nicht zu sehr einschränkt. Von einem Bonusverbot halte ich aber nichts, da man für verrrichtete Arbeit auch eine Belohung erhalten können soll.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This would create greater competition in the electricity market to the benefit of customers.
So entstünde auf dem Strommarkt ein grösserer Wettbewerb zum Vorteil der Kunden.
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
Housing is already scarce and therefore some relaxation is needed.
Der Wohnraum ist bereits heute knapp und deshalb braucht es gewisse Lockerungen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Equal work means equal pay. What I would not be in favor of, however, is if various civil servant positions were created again as a result of this control.
Gleiche Arbeit bedeutet gleiche Bezahlung. Was ich aber nicht befürworten würde ist, wenn aufgrund dieser Kontrolle wieder diverse Beamtenstellen mehr entstehen würden.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Especially in Graubünden we fight almost every weekend with the hopeless congestion of the A13 and the San Bernadino with endless traffic jams where an expansion would be urgently needed!
Gerade in Graubünden kämpfen wir beinahe jedes Wochenende mit der hoffnungslosen Überlastung der A13 und des San Bernadinos mit endlosen Staus wo ein Ausbau dringend nötig wäre!
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
The most used technologies in the future should be determined by the competition between the different technologies. Setting a year in the blue without having any idea how to solve the problem by then is simply pointless.
Die zukünftig meist genutzten Technologien sollen durch die Konkurrenz der verschiendenen Technologien bestimmt werden. Ins Blaue hinaus ein Jahr festlegen ohne Ahnung zu haben wie man das Problem bis dahin löst ist einfach sinnlos.
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
Prohibitions are always just a way to get around them, but incentives stimulate innovation and can bring groundbreaking solutions.
Bei Verboten wird immer nur ein Weg gesucht um diese zu umgehen, Anreize dafür aber kurbeln Innovation an und können wegweisene Lösungen bringen.
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
Of course, the measures must be proportionate, but it cannot be that for an increase of a dam by a few meters can be sued for years. Especially when we are already facing a power bottleneck.
Die Massnahmen müssen natürlich verhältnismässig sein, aber es kann nicht sein, dass für eine Erhöhung einer Staumauer um wenige Meter über Jahre hin geklagt werden kann. Besonders wenn wir uns schon vor einem Stromengpass befinden.
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
At the moment we are in an absolute research ban which is senseless with regard to the worldwide development of nuclear energy and could even open up new opportunities.
Momentan befinden wir uns in einem absoluten Forschungsverbot welches in Hinsicht auf die weltweite Entwicklung der Atomenergie sinnlos ist und sogar neue Chancen eröffnen könnte.
Ensure a comprehensive range of public services
Should the state guarantee a comprehensive public service offering also in rural regions?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
We have one of the best public transport systems in the world and this must be maintained.
Wir haben eines der besten ÖVs der Welt und das gilt es beizubehalten.
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
This would be the direct downfall for various important industries and factories in Switzerland and would put an extreme strain on Switzerland's attractiveness as a business location.
Das wäre für diverse wichtige Industrien und Fabriken in der Schweiz der direkte Untergang und würde die Standortattraktivität der Schweiz extrem belasten.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In Graubünden we fight every alpine summer the longer the more with the problems that the wolf brings. However, it can hardly be shot, although a stable population has been established in the meantime.
In Graubünden kämpfen wir jeden Alpsommer je länger je mehr mit den Problemen die der Wolf bringt. Geschossen werden darf er jedoch kaum, obwohl sich mittlerweile ein stabiler Bestand etabliert hat.
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Taking care of and preserving our nature is important and should at least be rewarded extra.
Auf unsere Natur zu achten und diese zu erhalten ist wichtig und soll zumindest extra belohnt werden.
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)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Animal-friendly handling is important
Tiergerechter Umgang ist wichtig
National territory available for biodiversity conservation
Should 30% of Switzerland's land area be dedicated to preserving biodiversity? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I like to hike big tours or admire our nature again and again while fishing. We have to take care of it and for that we have to accept certain restrictions.
Ich wandere sehr gerne grosse Touren oder bewundere beim Fischen immer wieder aufs neue unsere Natur. Dieser gilt es Sorge zu tragen und dafür müssen wir gewisse Einschränkungen auf uns nehmen.
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
We notice it more and more, plastic only leads to problems. To limit this and for example to replace disposable bags by biodegradable variants is to be welcomed. Furthermore, I still don't understand why individual vegetables have to be sealed in plastic.
Wir merken es immer mehr, Plastik führt nur zu Problemen. Diesen einzuschränken und zum Beispiel Einwegsäcke durch biologisch abbaubare Varianten zu ersetzten ist zu begrüssen. Ausserdem verstehe ich bis heute nicht warum einzelne Gemüse in Plastik eingeschweisst sein müssen.
More sustainable use of electronic devices
Are you in favour of government measures to make the use of electronic devices more sustainable (e.g., right to repair, extension of warranty period, minimum guaranteed period for software updates)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
We live in a throwaway society where functional devices are thrown away every day, it can't go on like this forever.
Wir leben in einer Wegwerfgesellschaft wo tagtäglich funktionstüchtige Geräte weggeworfen werden, so kann es nicht für immer weitergehen.
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
A wide-area mobile network is part of today's everyday life and brings many advantages
Ein breitflächiges Mobilfunknetz gehört zum heutigen Alltag dazu und bringt viele Vorteile
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
Digitization must be promoted as far as possible, as it saves a lot of paper and simplifies various processes. But good protection must also be ensured at all times
Die Digitalisierung gilt es soweit als möglich voranzutreiben da sie viel Papier spart und diverse Vorgänge erleichtert. Aber es muss immer auch auf einen guten Schutz geachtet werden
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Under no circumstances should it lead to a restriction of freedom of expression or go in the direction of censorship, which unfortunately happens too quickly with these topics.
Es darf auf keinen Fall zu einer Einschränkung der Meinungsfreiheit führen oder in Richtung Zensur gehen, was bei diesen Themen leider zu schnell passiert.
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
SRF is a very good service. However, it has gotten absolutely out of hand in recent years and offers content in places where it has no business. If they have to go over the books once again and reduce unnecessary costs, it will benefit us all.
Das SRF ist ein sehr gutes Angebot. Jedoch ist es in den letzten Jahren absolut aus dem Ruder gelaufen und bietet Inhalte an Orten an wo es nichts zu suchen hat. Wenn sie wieder einmal über die Bücher gehen und unnötige Kosten reduzieren müssen nützt das uns allen.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
At 18, a person reaches the age of majority and thus also the right to vote and to be elected. At this age, one has once again made significant steps in maturity.
Mit 18 erreicht man die Volljährigkeit und demnach auch das Stimm- und Wahlrecht. In diesem Alter hat man noch einmal deutliche Schritte in der Reife gemacht.
Introducing an optional financial referendum against federal spending
Should it be possible to hold a referendum on federal spending above a certain amount (optional financial referendum)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
There is an observable trend of cost explosion at the federal level. The government should also think about which expenditures are necessary and which are not.
Es gibt eine zu beobachtende Tendenz der Kostenexplosion beim Bund. Auch dieser soll sich Gedanken machen müssen welche Ausgaben notwendig sind und welche nicht.
Security & military
Increasing the size of the army to at least 120,000 soldiers
Are you in favor of expanding the army's target number of soldiers to at least 120,000?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
A strong army is absolutely necessary for Switzerland!
Eine starke Armee ist zwingend notwendig für die Schweiz!
Strengthening cooperation between the Swiss army and NATO
Should the Swiss Armed Forces expand their cooperation with NATO?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
A certain degree of cooperation is important, especially in the exchange of competencies. However, care must always be taken to ensure that neutrality is maintained.
Eine gewisse Zusammenarbeit ist wichtig gerade im Kompetenzaustausch. Es muss aber immer darauf geachtet werden, dass die Neutralität gewährt bleibt.
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
Either completely or not at all, otherwise neutrality is in question. Either we are interested in where our weapons go and then we are consistent or we simply export everywhere.
Entweder ganz oder garnicht, sonst steht die Neutralität in Frage. Entweder interessiert es uns wo unsere Waffen hingehen und dann sind wir konsequent oder wir exportieren einfach überall hin.

Denounce the Schengen Agreement and strengthen border controls
Should Switzerland terminate the Schengen agreement with the EU and reintroduce more security checks directly on the border? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Schengen/Dublin is currently failing all along the line. If Switzerland could carry out its own checks on people again, this would bring many advantages. However, the agreement would also bring many advantages if it worked properly.
Schengen/Dublin versagt momentan auf ganzer Linie. Könnte die Schweiz wieder eigene Personenkontrollen druchführen würde das viele Vorteile bringen. Jedoch bringt auch das Abkommen viele Vorteile, würde es denn richtig funktionieren
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
A framework agreement would be a serious misstep for Switzerland. We must ensure that we can maintain and expand the bilateral agreements.
Ein Rahmenabkommen wäre für die Schweiz ein schwerwiegender Fehlschritt. Wir müssen schauen, dass wir die Bilateralen aufrechterhalten und ausbauen können.
Seek a comprehensive free trade agreement with the United States
Should Switzerland strive for a comprehensive free trade agreement (including agriculture) with the USA?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Free trade agreements are always a good thing and greatly benefit one's economy.
Freihandelsabkommen sind immer eine gute Sache und nützen der eigenen Wirtschaft stark.
Comply with social and environmental standards
Should Swiss companies be obliged to ensure that their subsidiaries and suppliers operating abroad comply with social and environmental standards?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The control of such companies are exceedingly difficult. It is best left to the countries where the companies are located.
Die Kontrolle solcher Firmen sind überaus schwierig. Am besten soll das den Ländern überlassen werden, wo die Firmen stehen.
Terminate bilateral agreements with the EU
Should Switzerland terminate the Bilateral Agreements with the EU and seek a free trade agreement without the free movement of persons?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
If there were a realistic chance of this, it would be a very good solution.
Bestünden realistische Chancen darauf wäre das eine sehr gute Lösung.
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
Sanctions are certainly permissible, but they have to be our own. What is not acceptable in my eyes is that we simply adopt sanctions from the EU, for example.
Sanktionen sind durchaus zulässig, aber es müssen eigene sein. Was in meinen Augen nicht geht ist, dass wir einfach Sanktionen von zum Beispiel der EU übernehmen
