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
Financially challenging, but would help many households immensely, especially low-income earners.
Finanziell eine Herausforderung, würde aber vielen Haushalten, vor allem Kleinverdienern, immens helfen.
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
This is to remain so, but after the death of the first partner, 150% is to continue to be paid in order to maintain the standard of living and since the couple has drawn 50% less.
Dies soll so bleiben, aber nach dem Tod des ersten Partners sollen weiterhin 150% bezahlt werden, um den Lebensstandart aufrecht zu halten und da das Ehepaar 50% weniger bezogen hat.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In principle, this is a very good idea, which is already being implemented by large companies (e.g. 20 weeks for the father and mother). However, most SMEs cannot afford this, which is why a state obligation could have devastating consequences.
Grundsätzlich ein sehr guter Gedanke, welcher auch schon von grossen Firmen umgesetzt wird (z.B. 20 Wochen für den Vater und die Mutter). Meist können sich KMUs dies aber gar nicht leisten, weshalb eine staatliche Pflicht verheerende Folgen haben könnte.
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
Affordable apartments are becoming increasingly rare to find. To counteract this (at least temporarily), non-profit housing developments would certainly make sense.
Zahlbare Wohnungen sind immer seltener zu finden. Um dem (mindestens temporär) entgegen zu wirken, wären gemeinnützige Wohnungsbauten sicher sinnvoll.
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
Compulsory vaccination only leads to the uprising of the population. The parents should be able to decide this for themselves.
Impfzwang führt nur zum Aufstand der Bevölkerung. Die Eltern sollen dies selber entscheiden können.
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
Especially at a time when everything is becoming more expensive and more and more citizens have to watch their money, this would be a serious mistake, and it would also lead to state paternalism, which should be avoided.
Gerade in einer Zeit, in der alles teurer wird und immer mehr Bürger auf ihr Geld achten müssen, wäre dies ein folgeschwerer Fehler, zudem auch dies zur staatlichen Bevormundung führen würde, was zu vermeiden ist.
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
Health insurance is expensive enough as it is, raising the minimum deductible would further shrink people's wallets.
Die Krankenkassen sind schon genug teuer, die Erhöhung der Mindestfranchise würde das Portemonnaie der Bürger noch mehr schmälern.
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
State paternalism must be limited as much as possible.
Die staatliche Bevormundung muss so stark wie möglich eingeschränkt 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 children with learning difficulties may develop further problems as they cannot keep up with the other children. In addition, it is a disadvantage for the majority of the children, since the maximum potential cannot be exploited, as consideration must be given to those with learning difficulties.
Die Kinder mit Lernschwierigkeiten können weitere Probleme entwickeln, da sie nicht mit den anderen Kinder mithalten können. Zudem ist es ein Nachteil für die Mehrheit der Kinder, da das maximale Potential nicht ausgeschöpft werden kann, da Rücksicht auf Lernschwache genommen werden muss.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
At many schools, remedial education costs nothing (already paid for by the state).
An vielen Schulen kostet der Förderunterricht nichts (wird bereits vom Staat bezahlt).
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
Many nations envy the stricter naturalization procedure in Switzerland. In order to preserve Swiss values, the regulations should remain so.
Viele Nationen beneiden das strengere Einbürgerungsverfahren in der Schweiz. Um die Schweizer Werte zu erhalten, sollen die Bestimmungen auch so bleiben.
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
Actually no, but this should be possible temporarily in case of shortages of skilled workers.
Eigentlich nein, allerdings sollte dies temporär möglich sein bei Engpässen an Fachkräften.
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?

|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Only with naturalization should they receive these rights.
Erst mit der Einbürgerung sollen sie diese Rechte erhalten.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
It brings more tax revenue for the state and also would increase the safety of consumers through control. Furthermore, the incentive of consumption would decrease massively with legalization, since many do this precisely because of the thrill.
Es bringt weitere Steuereinnahmen für den Staat und zudem würde durch die Kontrolle die Sicherheit der Konsumenten erhöht werden. Des weiteren würde der Anreiz des Konsums bei einer Legalisierung massiv abnehmen, da viele gerade wegen dem Nervenkitzel dies tun.
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
With enough safety regulations, yes.
Mit genug Sicherheitsbestimmungen, ja.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale

Comment
Why? There are only two genders.
Wozu? Es gibt nur zwei Geschlechter.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Whoever performs the same, should also receive the same.
Wer gleiches Leistet, soll auch auch gleiches erhalten.

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 |

Müsste sicher im Einzelfall geprüft werden, ist aber sicher ein guter Gedanke.

Should housing construction regulations be relaxed (e.g., noise protection, occupancy rates)?

|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I am merely of the opinion that the same service should be remunerated equally. However, I take a critical view of government intervention with more control.
Ich bin lediglich der Meinung, dass die gleiche Leistung gleich vergütet werden sollte. Ein staatlicher Eingriff mit mehr Kontrolle sehe ich allerdings kritisch.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?

Introduce progressive electricity tariffs
Would you be in favor of the introduction of increasing electricity tariffs when consumption is higher (progressive electricity tariffs)?

Those who use more electricity still pay for it like everyone else.

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
Who should pay for this? Besides, think about it the next time you use a paper tube and the drink tastes like shoe cards after 5 minutes.
Wer soll dies bezahlen? Zudem denken Sie das nächste Mal daran, wenn sie ein Röhrli aus Papier benutzen und das Getränk nach 5 Minuten nach Schuhkarten schmeckt.

This would have to be examined on a case-by-case basis, but certainly a good idea.

Especially with social media, this would be too restrictive. Everyone should think and shout what they want (freedom of expression).
Gerade bei den sozialen Medien würde dies zu einschränkend sein. Jeder soll denken und schreien, was er möchte (Meinungsfreiheit).
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?

Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The proportion of voters among young people is otherwise already low, and among 16- to 18-year-olds this proportion would be even lower. In addition, the right to vote should remain a component of growing up.
Der Wähleranteil bei den Jungen ist sonst schon gering, bei den 16- bis 18-jährigen wäre dieser Anteil noch geringer. Zudem soll das Stimmrecht ein Bestandteil des erwachsen werden bleiben.

Our AHV has been weakened for a long time. The population is living longer and longer and is therefore drawing a pension for longer than 50 years ago.
Unsere AHV ist schon seit langem geschwächt. Die Bevölkerung lebt immer länger und bezieht dementsprechend auch länger Rente als noch vor 50 Jahren.
