| 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
It would seem more appropriate to reduce the sugar content of foods by imposing restrictions on the production of these foods, than by introducing a tax that will increase prices and hit only those on low incomes.
Il semblerait plus pertinent de réduire la teneur en sucre des aliments en imposant des restrictions sur la production de ces aliments, qu'en introduisant une taxe qui augmentera les prix et ne frapperont que les personnes à faible revenu.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|

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

| 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The integration of people with learning difficulties or disabilities into society is necessary, but the integration of children with too great a difference in ability into ordinary classes, in the vast majority of cases, only reinforces the feeling of difference and ostracisation of the children.
L'intégration des personnes avec des difficultés d'apprentissage ou des handicaps dans la société est nécessaire, mais l'intégration d'enfants avec de trop grande différence de compétence dans des classes ordinaires, dans la grande partie des cas, ne fait que renforcer le sentiment de différence et d'ostracisation des enfants.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Equal opportunities in education

|---|---|---|---|
Immigration & integration

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Increase the quota of third-country nationals for skilled workers

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Or even after a year. After all, people work here, pay taxes here and are part of a social environment. The impossibility of voting on the organization of communal life here makes no sense.
Ou même après un an. Après tout, les gens travaillent ici, paient des impôts ici et font partie d'un environnement social. L'impossibilité de voter sur l'organisation de la vie en commun ici ne fait pas de sens.
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
This is a sensitive issue. People should have a right to self-determination, and it seems right to allow the possibility of ending one's life of one's own free will in a supervised and reassuring way. On the other hand, euthanasia can easily be used for eugenic purposes. In Canada, for example, euthanasia is recommended for disabled people who do not have the financial means to live with their handicap.
Il s'agit d'une question délicate. Les gens devraient avoir un droit à l'auto-détermination, et il semble bon de permettre la possibilité de mettre fin à ses jours de son plein gré de façon encadrée et rassurante. D'un autre côté, l'euthanasie peut facilement être utilisé à des fins eugéniques. Au Canada par exemple, l'euthanasie est recommandé aux personnes handicapées qui n'ont pas les moyens financiers de vivre avec leur handicape.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Better still, simply remove all gender distinctions from civil status. It's reductive and unnecessary for society.
Mieux encore, simplement retirer toutes distinctions de genre à l'état civile. C'est réducteur et peu nécessaire à la société.
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
Direct taxation enables the financing of public services, which are necessary to maintain a fair quality of life for everyone.
L'impôt directe permet le financement des services publiques, qui sont nécessaires pour maintenir une qualité de vie juste pour tout le monde.
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
The allowance could be higher or the inheritance tax progressive, and the tax factor on very high inheritances should be significantly higher than for lower amounts.
L'abattement pourrait être plus élevé ou l'impôt sur les successions progressif, et le facteur d'imposition sur les successions très élevées devrait être nettement plus élevé que pour les montants plus bas.
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
There's already plenty of housing, much of it empty. The problem is that they're not affordable because of land ownership, not building regulations.
Il existe déjà bien assez de logements, une grande partie sont même vides. Le problème est qu'ils ne sont pas abordables à cause des propriétés foncières et non des règles de construction.
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

Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
And even from 2030 onwards. At the same time, we need a massive expansion of efficient, affordable public transport for all. Global warming can't wait, but we'll find solutions.
Et même à partir de 2030. Il faut en parallèle un développement massif de transport publique efficace et financièrement accessible pour toutes et tous. Le réchauffement climatique n'attend pas, mais nous trouverons des solutions.
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
As during the pandemic, we are in a state of global crisis that is not being treated as such. We need rapid, effective bans and restrictions, before it's too late.
Comme durant la pandémie, nous sommes en état de crise mondiale qui n'est fatalement pas traité comme tel. Il faut des interdictions et des restrictions rapides et efficaces, avant qu'il ne soit trop tard.
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
In principle, we need to find solutions that do not involve relaxing environmental and landscape protection regulations. Protecting our biodiversity is essential in the fight against global warming. If we don't have enough energy, we need to consume less.
En principe, il faut trouver des solutions qui ne nécessitent pas d'assouplir les prescriptions en matière de protection de l'environnement et du paysage. La protection de notre biodiversité est primordiale dans la lute contre le réchauffement climatique. Si nous n'avons pas assez d'énergie, il faut consommer moins.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Yes, but farms need to be given the necessary financial resources and sufficient time to make the transition.
Oui, mais il faut que des moyens financiers conséquents ainsi qu'une période de transition suffisante soient mis à disposition des exploitations agricoles afin de leur permettre de réaliser leur transitions.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 was invented in 1907. We don't really need it.
Le plastique a été inventé en 1907. Nous n'en avons pas vraiment besoin.
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
Yes, the minimum warranty period should be extended to 10 years, to combat the logic of short-term profit.
Oui, la durée minimale de garantie doit être portée à 10 ans, afin de combattre la logique de profit à court terme.
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
We need to reduce our energy consumption. This starts with avoiding unnecessary technologies.
Il est nécessaire que nous réduisions notre consommation d'énergie. Cela commence par éviter les technologies non nécessaire.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
No, because this initiative is aimed at directly attacking the public media. However, it would be a good idea to rethink the TV and radio licence fee system - paying CHF 335 a year is no mean feat. But it's important to protect public media.
Non, car cette initiative a pour but de s'attaquer directement aux médias publics. Toutefois, il serait bien de repenser le système de redevance TV et radio - payer 335 CHF par année n'est pas rien. Mais il est important de protéger les médias publics.
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
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
The state already works very slowly, and this would only slow down the arrival of the aid and subsidies that have been put in place.
L'État fonctionne déjà très lentement, et cela ne ferait que ralentir l'arrivé des aides et subventions misent en place.
Security & military
Increasing the size of the army to at least 120,000 soldiers

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
It's a useful measure, but not enough. We should start by freezing the assets of Russian oligarchs (only 7.5 out of 200 billion have been frozen to date!) and strict control of dual-use goods.
C'est une mesure utile, mais pas suffisante. Il faudrait commencer par geler les avoirs des oligarques russes (seuls 7,5 sur 200 milliards ont été gelés à ce jour !) et un contrôle strict des biens à double usage.

|---|---|---|---|
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
I'm in favor of developing solidarity and social relations with EU member countries, but to date the EU is neither solidary nor social, and it's essential that it be transformed so that Switzerland can benefit from a relationship.
Je suis favorable au développement de relation solidaire et social avec les pays membres de l'UE, mais à ce jour l'UE n'est ni solidaire, ni sociale, et il est essentielle qu'elle ce transforme pour que la Suisse puisse bénéficier d'une relation.

Comment
It takes a village to raise a child. What's more, parents are statistically more stressed than non-parents, because the contemporary education model is not adapted to the well-being of children and parents, but to the pace of the working world. It is therefore preferable to develop larger communities (e.g. with crèches) that enable better social cohesion.
Il faut tout un village pour éduquer un enfant. Par ailleurs, les parents sont statistiquement plus stressés que les non-parents, car le modèle d'éducation contemporain n'est pas adapté au bien-être des enfants et des parents mais au rythme du monde du travail. Il est donc préférable de développer des communautés larges (par exemple avec des crèches) qui permettent une meilleure cohésion sociale.

First and foremost, we need to focus on crime prevention. Secondly, reintegration is the best strategy against recidivism. Punishment only breeds more crime.
En premier lieu, il faut mettre l'accent sur la prévention du crime. En deuxième lieu, la réintégration est la meilleure stratégie contre les récidives. La punition n'engendre que plus de crime.

If we're talking about spending on the police, we need to cut spending and redirect it to the social sphere, to focus on crime prevention. It's better to have no criminals at all than lots of criminals in prison.
S'il s'agit de dépense pour la police, il faut diminuer les dépenses et les rediriger vers le domaine sociale pour privilégier la prévention des crimes. Il vaut mieux ne pas avoir de criminel tout court que beaucoup de criminel en prison.

We are in favor of making vaccines available to all population groups, and recommend following the guidelines of the FOPH and scientific reference bodies. We are rather critical of the repressive measures that accompany compulsory vaccination (such as fines), but we nevertheless recognize the need for compulsory vaccination - which also helps to protect vulnerable people.
Nous sommes favorables à ce que les vaccins soient mis à la disposition de tous les groupes de population et recommandons de suivre les directives de l'OFSP et des organes scientifiques de référence. Nous sommes plutôt critiques à l'égard des dispositifs répressifs accompagnant une vaccination obligatoire (comme les amendes), mais nous reconnaissons néanmoins la nécessité d'une vaccination obligatoire — qui contribue également à la protection des personnes vulnérables.
