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
Les primes d'assurance maladie pèsent grandement sur les porte-monnaie des personnes à revenu modeste. L'Etat doit leur permettre de mieux vivre, et cela passe par la réduction des primes.
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
Il est nécessaire que les rentes soient augmentées. Mais celles-ci ne doivent pas dépendre de l'état civil des personnes.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
C'est grâce à l'obligation vaccinale que de nombreuses maladies ont pu être éradiquées ou largement restreintes en Suisse. Il convient de poursuivre dans cette voie. Toutefois, cette obligation vaccinale ne doit pas pour autant s'accompagner de mesures répressives visant les personnes allant à son encontre. Il s'agit d'être pragmatique.
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
Cette taxe, comme tout impôt à la consommation, toucherait essentiellement les personnes les plus précaires.
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
En cas de pandémie, il est essentiel que le Conseil fédéral puisse prendre des mesures rapidement. De telles mesures sauvent indéniablement des vies. Mais il est également essentiel que ces mesures puissent être débattues au Parlement et combattues par référendum si nécessaire, quitte à ce que cela soit fait dans un deuxième temps, comme nous l'avons connu pendant le COVID.
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
Le fait de laisser la Confédération s'occuper de la planification hospitalière peut, sur le principe, amener plus de cohérence au système actuel. Mais il est essentiel, pour que cela soit performant, que des moyens importants soient alloués à une telle tâche. Or, une majorité de droite, telle celle qui est majoritaire actuellement, ne donnerait pas les moyens nécessaires, ce qui pourrait amener à une détérioration significative. Donc oui sur le principe, mais avec des ressources supplémentaires.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Oui, à condition qu'une telle mesure ne serve pas à détériorer les conditions de travail et à exercer une pression sur les salaires.
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
Ces mesures sont racistes et extraordinairement discriminantes.
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
Attendre dix ans est déjà beaucoup trop. Peu importe la nationalité : les personnes qui vivent en Suisse, qui y travaillent et y paient leurs impôts, font partie de la société et doivent avoir le droit de s'exprimer sur leurs propres vies.
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
L'euthanasie est évidemment un choix individuel. Mais il est nécessaire qu'en cas d'incapacité physique du requérant, un ou une médecin puisse aider le ou la patient-e à mourir dans la dignité. Il est toutefois évident qu'une telle pratique doit être encadrée médicalement.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Cela répond à une nécessité. Toutefois, l'objectif à atteindre doit être l'abolition de toute mention de genre à l'état civil, qui ne ferait que simplifier les démarches.
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
L'impôt fédéral direct est progressif et est, ainsi, l'un des plus solidaires. Des baisses d'impôts ne serviraient donc que les plus riches et détérioreraient les services publics.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Discriminer les personnes en fonction de leur état civil ne fait aujourd'hui plus sens.
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
L'héritage étant à la base d'une grande partie des inégalités sociales, évidemment. Cet impôt devrait d'ailleurs être progressif.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Dans de nombreuses régions du pays (l'arc lémanique par exemple), 4'000 francs par mois permettent à peine de vivre correctement. C'est donc le minimum.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
La libéralisation des services se combine généralement avec une détérioration à la fois des services et des conditions de travail des employé-e-s. C'est non.
Make housing construction regulations more flexible
Should housing construction regulations be relaxed (e.g., noise protection, occupancy rates)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Les études réalisées sur le sujet le montrent toutes : ce n'est pas la solution.
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
C'est une nécessité écologique évidente. Mais il est bon de rappeler aussi que les voitures électriques ne sont pas la solution et sont loin d'être climatiquement neutres. Il est donc important d'accompagner cette décision d'investissements massifs dans les transports publics, notamment dans les régions rurales, souvent mal desservies. La transition écologique ne doit pas se faire sur le dos des personnes précaires et des régions rurales. Donc oui, évidemment, mais pas sans rien en retour.
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
L'urgence climatique requiert, par définition, des mesures fortes, qui doivent pouvoir passer, au besoin, par des interdictions et des restrictions.
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
Il est important, autant que possible, de concilier développement des énergies renouvelables et protection de l'environnement. Un tel assouplissement n'est donc pas souhaitable, bien que, dans certains cas, cela vaille la peine.
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?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Ce devrait même être une priorité.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Tirer les grands prédateurs n'a jamais été une solution. Leur présence est essentielle pour la biodiversité. D'autres mesures existent pour la concilier avec la présence humaine et du bétail, comme la mise en place de veilles, à la manière de ce que fait l'association Oppal.
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
C'est une bonne chose, mais qui doit s'accompagner de mesures transitoires pour aider les exploitations à transitionner vers une agriculture plus écologique.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Sur le principe, l'accès à la technologie doit être facilité. Le problème réside dans l'importante consommation d'énergie qu'une telle technologie requiert.
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
Défendre l'accès à des médias publics de qualité est une priorité. Or, c'est uniquement contre ces derniers que s'attaque l'initiative. Le problème de la redevance est son manque de progressivité.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Les jeunes aussi font partie de la société. Il est donc important de leur permettre de se prononcer politiquement et de les impliquer. Donner le droit de vote à 16 ans permet de thématiser auprès des jeunes des sujets complexes, auxquels on ne pense pas avant ses 18 ans. C'est un premier pas nécessaire dans la vie adulte.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Strengthening cooperation between the Swiss army and NATO
Should the Swiss Armed Forces expand their cooperation with NATO?
| 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
Dans l'idéal, la Suisse devrait arrêter la production d'armes de guerre. Mais, dans la situation actuelle, il semble absurde d'interdire la réexportation d'armes à des Etats agressés.
Scumonda da visar automaticamain la fatscha en locals publics
Should automatic facial recognition be banned in public spaces?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Sur le principe, il faut soutenir l'idée d'une Europe sociale et solidaire. Or, l'Union européenne est aujourd'hui bien loin de cet idéal.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|

Au contraire, elle ne profite qu'aux plus riches et renforce les inégalités sociales.

What is your position the following statement: "It is best for a child, when one parent stays home full-time for childcare."
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Dans l'idéal, il serait bénéfique que les parents passent tous deux une partie importante de leur temps avec leur enfant. Mais il n'est pas souhaitable, comme indiqué, qu'un des deux parents (sous-entendu, la mère) reste à la maison à plein temps. Il est nécessaire de s'engager pour une meilleure conciliation de la vie privée et professionnelle, notamment en augmentant les places de crèche et en abaissant le temps de travail.
Digitization offers more opportunities than risks
What is your position the following statement: "The ongoing digitalization offers significantly more opportunities than risks."
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Comment
La numérisation doit être populaire et solidaire pour être bénéfique. Elle peut considérablement améliorer la vie. Mais il s'agit d'être extrêmement attentif à son utilisation et à son développement dans une société capitaliste peu encline à se préoccuper des dérives qu'elle cause.
Punish criminals
What is your position the following statement: "Punishing criminals is more important than reintegrating them into society."

Défendre la population suisse, c'est avant tout lui permettre de vivre dignement. Les dépenses militaires sont largement excessives, tant les risques que la Suisse soit attaquée sont faibles.

Comment
L'important est de garantir au maximum de gens une retraite en bonne santé. Augmenter l'âge de la retraite ne ferait que renforcer les inégalités sociales, étant donné que l'espérance de vie est intimement liée au revenu.
