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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Ces rentes devraient plutôt être augmentées, pour freiner la précarisation croissante de nos retraitées et retraités. Après une longue vie de travail, nous méritons toutes et tous de vivre, et non pas de survivre, pendant notre retraite.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Il est certes important d'inciter la population à consommer moins de sucre. Toutefois, il est également important de veiller à ce que le budget consacré à l'alimentation n'explose pas ! Une taxe sur le sucre est une taxe injuste, puisqu'elle coûte le même montant à toute personne, peu importe son salaire, son budget et sa situation. Il est cependant important d'inciter la population à s'alimenter sainement, en rendant, par exemple, les produits locaux et sains plus abordables.
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
Une telle mesure serait terriblement inégalitaire : les plus précaires sont celles et ceux qui ont déjà aujourd'hui les plus grandes franchises. Ces personnes n'auront pas le choix à l'avenir d'opter pour les primes les moins chères, aux franchises les plus hautes, ce qui, en conclusion, les privera tout simplement de se soigner. Il faut aujourd'hui investir dans un nouveau système plus juste et plus solidaire, sur le modèle d'une caisse maladie unique.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Il est nécessaire aujourd'hui de rendre financièrement plus accessible la naturalisation. Beaucoup de personnes qui souhaiteraient s'investir personnellement pour notre pays en devenant Suissesses/Suisses ne peuvent malheureusement pas se le permettre pour des questions budgétaires.
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
Il est cependant nécessaire d'accompagner cet élargissement avec une protection forte du marché du travail : il faut à tout prix éviter que le dumping social ne plombe les salaires et ne fasse baisser le niveau de vie des travailleuses et travailleurs.
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

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

| 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
A condition que des règles claires soient fixées, ne l'autorisant que dans des cas définis (pathologies incurables, etc.), et permettant de vérifier la véritable volonté du patient. En soit, dans le même modèle que l'assistance au suicide pratiquée par Exit.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Non, car l'impôt fédéral est un des plus solidaires de Suisse grâce à son barème progressif, taxant plus fortement les grandes entreprises et les grandes fortunes. Le baisser ne profiterait qu'aux plus riches et réduirait la qualité de notre service public en réduisant son financement.
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
Il est essentiel qu'un impôt national sur les successions soit introduit : celui-ci permettrait de faire face aux énormes disparités qui existent entre les cantons. Toutefois, la franchise pourrait être supérieure à 1 million, et surtout l'impôt devrait être progressif : les très grandes successions (+ 50 millions) devrait être nettement plus taxées que les plus petites.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 nombreux bouchons qui ont lieu sur l'autoroute sont évidemment agaçants. Toutefois, plutôt que d'élargir nos autoroutes, il faut permettre aux nombreux pendulaires de prendre les transports publics, en améliorant les horaires, en densifiant les connexions et en rendant les prix plus accessibles. Favoriser les transports publics permettra de désengorger le trafic pour celles et ceux qui n'ont pas le choix d'emprunter l'autoroute, comme les pendulaires habitant dans les vallées transversales
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
Si l'on veut respecter nos objectifs climatiques, cette mesure est indispensable. Toutefois, cette mesure ne peut être mise en place que si les transports publics sont rendus abordables et efficaces pour la population : il ne peut y avoir d'écologie sans mesures sociales et solidaires !
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
Il faut éviter à tout prix de sacrifier nos paysages et leur biodiversité pour développer des énergies propres : la protection de la biodiversité est essentielle pour combattre les dérèglements climatiques. Ces projets mettant en conflit biodiversité et énergies renouvelables doivent être étudiés au cas par cas, et faire office d'un examen détaillé.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Seulement si une franchise est prévue pour les ménages et que cette progressivité concerne en premier lieu les entreprises. Car beaucoup de systèmes permettant d'économiser de l'énergie ne sont réservés qu'aux propriétaires (puisque les locataires dépendent des investissements de leur gérance). De plus, ces systèmes sont actuellement loins d'être bon marché. Par conséquent, si une simple progressivité est mise en place elle risque d'impacter en premier lieu les ménages les plus précaires.

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?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Oui, si un temps de transition suffisant est mis à disposition des exploitations agricoles pour adapter leurs activités aux problématiques écologiques. De plus, des fonds étatiques doivent être débloqués pour soutenir les agricultrices et les agriculteurs dans cette transition essentielle.
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
Avec les mêmes conditions qu'à la question 2 : avec un temps de transition suffisant et avec un soutien de l'Etat pour permettre au monde agricole de s'adapter sans que les agricultrices et agriculteurs n'en pâtissent dans leur situation personnelle.
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

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
More sustainable use of electronic devices

|---|---|---|---|
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
Il est essentiel de sauvegarder notre service public, pour ne pas se retrouver dans les pitoyables situations que l'on peut observer chez nos voisins où les fake news sont propagées sans scrupules dans les médias. De plus la SSR est un atout essentiel pour la cohésion nationale et le dialogue entre les régions linguistiques. Toutefois, il faut réfléchir à un mode alternatif de financement, plus juste et équitable que celui que l'on connaît aujourd'hui.
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

| 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?

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

Comply with social and environmental standards

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

Le rêve d'une économie de libre marché profitant à toutes et à tous ne peut aujourd'hui plus être défendu. Alors que les inégalités se creusent, que la planète se réchauffe et que les fins de mois ne s'adoucissent jamais, plus personne ne peut prétendre qu'une économie de libre marché profite à tout le monde : la réalité vécue aujourd'hui par nous toutes et tous affirme le contraire.

Il ne fait aucun sens que l'état civil ait un impact sur le montant de la rente AVS : ce plafond doit donc être supprimé. Les plafonds doivent être uniquement basés sur des critères financiers : pour empêcher que des rentes pharaoniques soient versées, ce qui contreviendrait au principe de solidarité, essence même de l'AVS.
