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 premiums are a major financial burden for many people, which is why significantly higher premium reductions are needed, especially for people from the lower middle class. In principle, however, income-dependent premiums should be introduced, because people with high incomes benefit greatly from the current financing (capitation premiums).
Die Krankenkassenprämien sind für viele Menschen eine grosse finanzielle Belastung, daher braucht es deutlich höhere Prämienverbilligungen, insbesondere für Personen aus dem unteren Mittelstand. Grundsätzlich sollten aber einkommensabhängige Prämien eingeführt werden, weil Personen mit hohen Einkommen durch die heutige Finanzierung (Kopfprämien) stark profitieren.
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
In my opinion, the amount of the pension should not depend on marital status.
Die Höhe der Rente sollte meiner Ansicht nach nicht vom Zivilstand abhängig sein.
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
The reduction in the minimum conversion rate for the pension fund hits people with low and medium incomes in particular, which is why I clearly reject this measure.
Die Senkung des Mindestumwandlungssatzes bei der Pensionskasse trifft insbesondere Menschen mit tiefen und mittleren Einkommen, daher lehne ich diese Massnahme klar ab.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The rising rents are not without alternative, but the result of bourgeois housing policies. There needs to be a clear strengthening of cooperative and state-owned housing to stop speculation and excessive profit for real estate corporations.
Die steigenden Mieten sind nicht alternativlos, sondern das Ergebnis von bürgerlicher Wohnpolitik. Es braucht eine klare Stärkung von genossenschaftlichem und staatseigenem Wohnungsbau, um die Spekulation und den übermässigen Profit für Immobilienkonzerne zu stoppen.

Should compulsory vaccination of children be introduced based on the Swiss vaccination plan?
| 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
The reduction of the sugar content in food can be reduced by clear requirements for the producers. No additional tax is needed.
Die Reduktion des Zuckergehalts bei Lebensmitteln kann durch klare Vorgaben an die Produzent*innen reduziert werden. Es braucht keine zusätzliche Steuer.
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
The Federal Council must continue to have the possibility to react quickly to emergency situations. However, Parliament must be involved in the political decision-making process again much more quickly than in the case of the Corona pandemic.
Der Bundesrat muss weiterhin die Möglichkeit haben, schnell auf Notsituationen reagieren zu können. Das Parlament muss jedoch deutlich schneller als bei der Corona-Pandemie wieder in den politischen Entscheidungsprozess einbezogen werden.
Federal competence for national hospital planning

| 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
I consider it important to teach children and young people with learning difficulties or disabilities in regular classes. More financial and human resources are needed in order to do justice to all children and young people and to be able to offer them good teaching.
Kinder und Jugendliche mit Lernschwierigkeiten oder Behinderungen in regulären Klassen zu unterrichten, erachte ich als wichtig. Es braucht mehr finanzielle und personelle Mittel, um allen Kindern und Jugendlichen gerecht zu werden und ihnen einen guten Unterricht bieten zu können.

| 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
The requirements for naturalization are no longer up to date. An adjustment is needed, especially in view of the high costs and the long period of residence.
Die Anforderungen für die Einbürgerung sind nicht mehr zeitgemäss. Es braucht insbesondere bei den hohen Kosten und der langen Wohnsitzfrist eine Anpassung.

| 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
In the canton of Basel-Stadt, 40% of the population are excluded from democratic co-determination in the community and in the canton. I am clearly in favor of the right of foreigners to vote at all political levels!
Im Kanton Basel-Stadt werden 40% der Bevölkerung von der demokratischen Mitbestimmung in der Gemeinde und im Kanton ausgeschlossen. Ich bin klar für ein Ausländer*innenstimmrecht auf allen politischen Ebenen!

|---|---|---|---|
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
The federal government needs sufficient financial resources for the welfare state, education and research. Tax cuts at the federal level are especially beneficial for people with high incomes, as the direct federal tax, for example, has a very progressive structure.
Der Bund braucht genügend finanzielle Mittel für den Sozialstaat, die Bildung und die Forschung. Steuersenkungen auf Bundesebene sind vor allem für Menschen mit hohen Einkommen von Vorteil, da beispielsweise die direkte Bundessteuer sehr progressiv ausgestaltet ist.

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
Wealth inequality can only be reduced with a fair inheritance tax. A progressive inheritance tax is needed.

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
The climate targets cannot be achieved exclusively with incentives and target agreements. Certain restrictions are needed, for example a ban on private jets.
Die Klimaziele können nicht ausschliesslich mit Anreizen und Zielvereinbarungen erreicht werden. Es braucht gewisse Einschränkungen, beispielsweise ein Verbot von Privatjets.

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
Television and radio fees are of great importance for media diversity in Switzerland, which is why I clearly reject a reduction in these fees. People with low incomes should continue to be exempt from this fee.
Die Fernseh- und Radiogebühren sind für die Medienvielfalt in der Schweiz von grosser Bedeutung, daher lehne ich eine Reduktion dieser Gebühren klar ab. Menschen mit tiefen Einkommen sollten weiterhin von dieser Abgabe befreit werden.

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Switzerland would actually have a great opportunity to act through its international role in the financial and raw materials sector, which is not being used sufficiently. However, the re-export of Swiss weapons must not be used as a pretext for relaxing the regulations on the export of war material.
Die Schweiz hätte eigentlich durch ihre internationale Rolle im Finanz- und Rohstoffsektor eine grosse Handlungsmöglichkeit, die nicht ausreichend genutzt werden. Die Wiederausfuhr von Schweizer Waffen darf jedoch nicht als Vorwand genommen werden, um die Regelung beim Kriegsmaterialexport wieder zu lockern.

Comment
People with small wallets would suffer the most from the increase in the retirement age, as they have no possibility to take early retirement. In addition, people who are over 50 years old already have trouble finding a new job. I clearly reject the increase in the retirement age.
Menschen mit kleinem Portemonnaie würden am meisten unter der Erhöhung des Rentenalters leiden, da sie keine Möglichkeit haben, sich frühpensionieren zu lassen. Zudem haben Personen, die über 50 Jahre alt sind, bereits heute Mühe eine neue Stelle zu finden. Ich lehne die Erhöhung des Rentenalters klar ab.
