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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
However, marital status should have no influence on this. Higher pensions and a socially just pension scheme are needed for everyone.
Der Zivilstand sollte jedoch keinen Einfluss hierauf haben. Es braucht für alle höhere Renten und eine sozialgerechte Altersvorsorge.
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
There would be no need for pension cuts if working people were paid fairly and higher income brackets were subject to more socially just contributions.
Es bräuchte keine Rentenkürzungen, würden Arbeitende gerecht entlöhnt und höhere Einkommensklassen sozialgerechter abgabepflichtig.
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
The first few weeks of a child's life are particularly valuable in terms of developmental psychology. All parents should be able to be present. The relationship between parents and child must not be dependent on financial means.
Die ersten paar Wochen im Leben eines Kindes, sind Entwicklungspsychologisch besonders wertvoll. Alle Elternteile sollen dabei anwesend sein können. Die Beziehungsbildung zwischen Eltern und Kind, darf nicht von finanziellen Mitteln abhängig sein.
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
In addition, however, action is to be taken against illegally excessive rents.
Zusätzlich soll jedoch auch gegen illegal zu hohe Mieten vorgegangen 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
However, exceptions should be easily accessible in medically relevant cases. However, the protection of particularly vulnerable groups from vaccine-preventable diseases is and remains the most important and clearly prevails in the balancing of interests.
Jedoch sollen in medizinisch relevanten Fällen Ausnahmen leicht zugänglich sein. Am wichtigsten ist und bleibt aber der Schutz von besonders gefährdeten Gruppen vor impfbaren Krankheiten und überwiegt in der Interessenabwägung klar.
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
In times of financial hardship, we certainly don't need consumption taxes, which again mainly affect people with low incomes.
Wir brauchen in Zeiten von finanziellen Nöten ganz bestimmt keine Konsumsteuern, die wieder überwiegend Menschen mit tiefen Einkommen zu spüren bekommen.
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
Insurance costs are currently already far too high for people with lower incomes when compared to overall budgets. It would be much better to take into account assets and income when charging premiums, and people with more means should also pay more.
Versicherungskosten sind aktuell sowieso schon viel zu hoch bei Personen mit tieferen Einkommen, wenn man sie mit den Gesamtbudgets vergleicht. Viel eher sollte in der Erhebung von Prämien Vermögen und Einkommen berücksichtigt werden und Personen mit mehr Mitteln sollten auch mehr bezahlen.
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
It is imperative that the Federal Council be able to act quickly in the event of pandemics, but an appropriate balancing of interests worthy of protection must be made especially in the case of restrictions on privacy.
Es ist zwingend nötig, dass der Bundesrat bei Pandemien schnell handeln kann, jedoch muss speziell bei der Einschränkung des Privatlebens eine angemessene Abwägung von schützenswerten Interessen gemacht werden.
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
In principle, the federal government should be responsible for the health care of the population. However, under the current majority in parliament, further cuts and dismantling of health care are to be expected, which I do not support.
Grundsätzlich soll der Bund die Gesundheitsversorgung der Bevölkerung in der Hand haben. Jedoch sind unter den aktuellen Mehrheitsverhältnissen im Parlament eher weiter Kürzungen und Abbau der Gesundheitsversorgung zu erwarten, was ich nicht befürworte.
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
Children with disabilities and learning difficulties are just as much a part of our society as children without. Exclusion only further encourages discriminatory behavior. Moreover, research also clearly speaks in favor of integration. However, teachers should be adequately supported and compensated.
Kinder mit Behinderungen und Lernschwierigkeiten sind genauso Teil unserer Gesellschaft wie Kinder ohne. Eine Ausgrenzung fördert nur weiter diskriminierendes Verhalten. Zudem spricht die Forschung auch klar für Integration. Allerdings sollten Lehrpersonen adäquat unterstützt und entlöhnt werden.
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
Education should become more accessible, not more difficult.
Bildung sollte leichter zugänglich werden, nicht erschwert.
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
However, with clear protective measures that ensure fair wages and working conditions. In addition, skilled workers should not be taken away from other countries, but should also be provided for in education and fair working conditions in Switzerland.
Jedoch mit klaren Schutzmassnahmen, die für gerechte Löhne und Arbeitsbedingungen sorgen. Zudem sollten Fachkräfte nicht anderen Ländern abgezogen werden, sondern es soll ebenso in Bildung und faire Arbeitsbedingungen in der Schweiz gesorgt werden.
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
Asylum seekers should receive care and support in our country, not discrimination and deportation.
Asylsuchende sollen Fürsorge und Unterstützung bei uns erhalten, nicht Diskriminierung und Abschiebung.
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
Even much earlier. A democracy is not a democracy if people who are affected by the decisions cannot have their say.
Sogar schon viel früher. Eine Demokratie ist keine Demokratie, wenn Personen, die betroffen von den Entscheiden sind, nicht mitreden können.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Decriminalization of cannabis use has been proven many times to make sense. Moreover, addiction problems are to be tackled with social measures, not with criminal ones.
Entkriminalisierung von Cannabiskonsum ist mehrfach erwiesen sinnvoll. Zudem sind Suchtprobleme mit sozialen Massnahmen zu bewältigen, nicht mit strafrechtlichen.
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
It is part of human dignity to be able to decide freely about one's own life. However, the pressure on poor and sick people must not be so high that they feel pressured to make this decision.
Es gehört zur Würde des Menschen über das eigene Leben frei entscheiden zu dürfen. Jedoch darf nicht gleichzeitig der Druck auf Arme und kranke Menschen so hoch sein, dass sie sich zu diesem Entscheid gedrängt fühlen.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
As a first step. However, gender is neither binary, nor divisible into three categories, but a spectrum. In the longer term, the gender entry should be abolished.
Als erster Schritt. Geschlecht ist aber weder binär, noch in drei Kategorien unterteilbar, sondern ein Spektrum. Längerfristig sollte der Geschlechtseintrag abgeschafft werden.
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
We are living in times when everything is becoming noticeably scarcer for smaller incomes. Cutting taxes now is completely pointless and negligent. Rather, additional taxes should be levied on capital income, e.g. at the municipal and cantonal level, in order to solve the crisis, as befits a socially just country.
Wir leben in Zeiten, in denen bei kleineren Einkommen spürbar alles knapper wird. Steuern jetzt zu senken ist komplett sinnlos und fahrlässig. Es sollten eher zusätzlich Steuern auf z.B. auf kommunaler und kantonaler Ebene auf Kapitaleinkommen erhoben werden, um die Krise zu lösen, wie es sich für ein sozialgerechtes Land gehört.
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
However, the exemption amount could also be higher and, in addition, the inheritance tax would have to be progressive.
Jedoch könnte der Freibetrag auch höher sein und zudem müsste die Erbschaftssteuer progressiv sein.
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
Although it should be higher. In some cantons, CHF 4,000 for a full-time position still does not cover the living wage.
Obwohl er höher sein sollte. In einigen Kantonen sind CHF 4'000.- für eine Vollzeitstelle immer noch nicht existenzdeckend.
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
Electricity supply should be available to all people equally and should not be subject to competition.
Die Stromversorgung sollte allen Menschen gleichermassen zur Verfügung stehen und nicht dem Wettbewerb verfallen.
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
It is not building codes that are to blame for high rents and housing shortages, but private land ownership and bourgeois policies that protect unjustifiably high rents.
Nicht die Bauvorschriften sind Schuld and zu hohen Mieten und Wohnungsnot, sondern das private Grundeigentum und eine bürgerliche Politik, die ungerechtfertigt hohe Mieten schützt.
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
Rather, investments should be made in better infrastructure and cheaper public transport prices.
Viel eher soll in eine bessere Infrastruktur und günstigere Preise des öffentlichen Verkehrs investiert werden.
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
At the same time, public transport services must also be greatly expanded and made more affordable so that people with low incomes are not burdened more.
Gleichzeitig muss das ÖV Angebot auch stark ausgebaut und günstiger werden, damit nicht Menschen mit tiefen Einkommen mehrbelastet werden.
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 crisis is acute and we can only fight it with immediate far-reaching measures, not with personal responsibility.
Die Klimakrise ist akut und wir können sie nur mit sofortigen weitgehenden Massnahmen bekämpfen, nicht mit Eigenverantwortung.
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
Renewable energies should primarily be developed where they do not impair environmental and landscape protection. In certain cases, however, a balancing of interests must also be possible.
Erneuerbare Energien sollen primär dort ausgebaut werden, wo sie nicht den Umwelt- und Landschaftsschutz beeinträchtigen. In gewissen Fällen muss jedoch auch eine Abwägung von Interessen möglich sein.
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
The time it takes to set up a new nuclear power plant alone is ridiculous to use as a tool in the current electricity emergency. These resources are much better invested in renewable energies. This way we don't create yet another problem that later generations will have to deal with without having had a say in the matter. In addition, in times of increasing natural disasters, it is completely negligent to talk about building nuclear power plants.
Alleine die Zeit, die es dauert ein neues AKW aufzusetzen, ist lächerlich um sie als Mittel in der aktuellen Stromnotlage zu verwenden. Diese Ressourcen sind viel besser in erneuerbare Energien investiert. So kreieren wir auch nicht schon wieder ein Problem, mit dem spätere Generationen dann umgehen müssen, ohne dass diese mitreden konnten. Zusätzlich ist in Zeiten von sich häufenden Naturkatastrophen völlig fahrlässig vom Bau von AKWs zu sprechen.
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
Not in general, as there is a risk here that people from lower income brackets would also be affected. The threshold would have to be set so that it primarily affects wasteful use, especially e.g. in the private sector. Also night-time electricity use, e.g. to light up an advertisement or a store front after opening hours, should rather become more expensive than the consumption of private households.
Nicht im Allgemeinen, da hier die Gefahr besteht, dass auch Personen aus tieferen Einkommensklassen betroffen wären. Die Schwelle müsste so angesetzt werden, dass sie primär den verschwenderischen Gebrauch betrifft, speziell z.B. in der Privatwirtschaft. Auch Nachtstromgebrauch um z.B. eine Werbung oder eine Ladenfassade nach Öffnungszeiten zu beleuchten, sollten eher teuerer werden, als der Verbrauch von Privathaushalten.
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
However, financial relief for farms that experience severe damage from large predators would be fair.
Jedoch wäre finanzielle Abhilfe für Landwirtschaftsbetriebe, die von Grossraubtieren starken Schaden erfahren, fair.
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
However, farms must also be able to afford this proof of performance and should receive support for the ecological rescheduling of agriculture.
Betriebe müssen sich jedoch diesen Leistungsnachweis auch leisten können und sollen Unterstützung zur ökologischen Umplanung der Landwirtschaft erhalten.
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
Factory farming should be prohibited.
Massentierhaltung sollte verboten sein.
National territory available for biodiversity conservation
Should 30% of Switzerland's land area be dedicated to preserving biodiversity? [BePart question]

|---|---|---|---|
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
However, it must be taken into account that sometimes people also turn to these products for financial or medical reasons. This must be taken into account.
Es muss jedoch berücksichtigt werden, dass manchmal auch aus finanziellen oder medizinischen Gründen zu diesen Produkten gegriffen wird. Dies muss mitgedacht werden.
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
This is absolutely necessary so that the devices are built in such a way that they do not break down after a few years. Not doing this only serves short-term profits, which we all pay for afterwards with the costs and damage of the climate crisis.
Dies ist unbedingt nötig, damit die Geräte so gebaut werden, dass sie nicht nach wenigen Jahren kaputt gehen. Dies nicht zu machen, dient nur kurzfristigen Profiten, die wir alle nachher mit den Kosten und dem Schaden der Klimakrise bezahlen.
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
However, such technologies should be used in the interest of the general population to counteract unnecessary power consumption.
Jedoch sollen solche Technologien im Interesse der Allgemeinbevölkerung eingesetzt werden, um unnötigem Stromverbrauch entgegenzuwirken.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Uncontrolled use of algorithms and dissemination of disinformation are enormously dangerous to democracy.
Unkontrollierte Verwendung von Algorithmen und Verbreitung Desinformationen sind enorm demokratiegefährdend.
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
Rather, the fees should be levied differently in relation to income and assets, as they are currently indeed burdensome for households with low incomes. However, jeopardizing the public media is not conducive to achieving this goal.
Viel eher sollten die Gebühren im Verhältnis zu Einkommen und Vermögen unterschiedlich erhoben werden, da sie aktuell für Haushalte mit tiefen Einkommen tatsächlich belastend sind. Eine Gefährdung der öffentlichen Medien ist dabei jedoch nicht zielführend.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?

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
We currently have so many acute and real problems (such as the climate crisis, the exploitation of care workers and wage workers in general) whose funding is constantly being cut, among other things to finance the army.
Wir haben aktuell so viele akute und realvorhandene Probleme (wie z.B. Klimakrise, Ausbeutung von Care-Arbeitenden und generell Lohnarbeiter*innen), deren Finanzierung stetig, u.a. zur Finanzierung der Armee, gekürzt wird.
Strengthening cooperation between the Swiss army and NATO

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
However, arms exports should not be facilitated in general and non-belligerent measures should be taken primarily. Nevertheless, countries that are exposed to warlike aggression have a right to self-defense.
Jedoch soll der Waffenexport nicht im Allgemeinen erleichtert werden und nicht-kriegerische Massnahmen sollen primär ergriffen werden. Trotzdem haben Länder, welche kriegerischen Aggressionen ausgesetzt sind, ein Recht auf Selbstverteidigung.

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
In principle, international cooperation should be promoted, but Switzerland should not simply join the EU as long as racist migration policies continue to be pursued, especially in the area of asylum, and public services are dismantled. We do not need European neoliberalism, but international solidarity.
Grundsätzlich soll internationale Kooperation gefördert werden, jedoch soll die Schweiz sich nicht einfach der EU anschliessen, solange weiterhin rassistische Migrationspolitik betrieben wird, speziell im Bereich des Asylwesens, und öffentliche Dienstleistungen abgebaut werden. Wir brauchen keinen europäischen Neoliberalismus, sondern internationale Solidarität.
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
With unequal international power structures and exploitative economic systems, such an agreement would not be socially just at the present time, nor would it be in the spirit of international solidarity.
Bei ungleichen internationalen Machtstrukturen und ausbeuterischen Wirtschaftssystemen, wäre ein solches Abkommen zum aktuellen Zeitpunkt nicht sozialgerecht und auch nicht im Sinne der internationalen Solidarität.
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?

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
Neutrality is generally a questionable concept if it primarily maintains the status quo. It is important that Switzerland takes a clear stand, for example, in the case of wars of aggression or blatant exploitation, as well as open racism and genocides. Freedom and neutrality is only given if it does not come at the expense of others.
Neutralität ist generell ein fragwürdiger Begriff, wenn sie primär den Status quo aufrechterhält. Es ist wichtig, dass die Schweiz z.B. bei Angriffskriegen oder eklatanter Ausbeutung, sowie offenem Rassismus und Genoziden eine klare Stellung bezieht. Freiheit und Neutralität ist nur gegeben, wenn sie nicht auf Kosten anderer geht.

Research has repeatedly shown that diverse environments and everyday situations are enormously valuable for child development. Rather, parents should be relieved and be able to shape their families as they freely wish, so that the children are not burdened, for example, by the parents' financial stress. Free KITAs and equal parents are best for a child.
Die Forschung hat hierbei wiederholt gezeigt, dass diverse Umfelder und Alltagssituationen enorm wertvoll für die Kindesentwicklung sind.

It offers an enormous number of opportunities, but the risks are currently also considerable because the economy favors negligent innovations in favor of short-term profits. Digitization must be used in the interest of the general population.

The aim of sanctions and measures was originally that harmful behavior towards society should be prevented by deterrence and issued punishments should aim at reintegration. In reality, unfortunately, things often look different, which is not purposeful because they are applied differently to different groups in society. Pure revenge is absurd and does not achieve the goal.
Das Ziel von Sanktionen und Massnahmen war ursprünglich, dass schädliches Verhalten gegenüber der Gesellschaft durch Abschreckung verhindert werden sollte und erteilte Strafen auf Wiedereingliederung abzielen. In der Realität sieht es leider oft anders aus, was nicht zielführend ist, weil sie unterschiedlich auf verschiedene Gruppen der Gesellschaft angewendet werden.

In the area of the police, it is not more spending that is needed, but fundamental changes so that people, not property, are actually protected. More investment in prevention of sexualized violence and rethinking of inhuman social structures would be urgently needed, but not by the police.

Supporting other countries and cultures in terms of their own ideas is desirable, but development cooperation also carries a great many problematic structures, such as paternalism or even spreading harmful and exploitative structures. Alone the name in itself already shows unequal power structures, because at the receiving end of a development cooperation is something that is considered "underdeveloped". There should be talk of support
Unterstützung anderer Länder und Kulturen im Sinne ihrer eigenen Vorstellungen ist wünschenswert, jedoch trägt die Entwicklungszusammenarbeit auch sehr viele problematische Strukturen mit, wie z.B. Bevormundung oder gar verbreiten von schädlichen und ausbeuterischen Strukturen. Alleine der Name in sich zeigt bereits ungleiche Machtstrukturen auf, da am erhaltenden Ende einer Entwicklungszusammenarbeit etwas ist, was als "Unterentwickelt" betrachtet wird. Es sollte von Unterstützung die Rede sein

With the dramatic increase in efficiency over the past decades, working people should have long since been given a drastic reduction in working life. Raising the retirement age would mean further exploitation of those who cannot afford early retirement. Social contributions on capital income and higher taxation of the highest incomes are much more efficient and fair solutions for the AHV.
Mit der drastisch gestiegenen Effizienz über die letzten Jahrzehnte, hätten Arbeitende schon längst eine drastische Reduktion der Lebensarbeitszeit erhalten sollen. Eine Erhöhung des Rentenalters würde eine weitere Ausbeutung derjenigen, die sich Frühpension nicht leisten können, bedeuten. Sozialabgaben auf Kapitaleinkommen und stärkere Besteuerung der höchsten Einkommen, sind die viel effizienteren und gerechteren Lösungen für die AHV.
