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
Taxpayer money is being spent here in the short term without a strategy for future, stable health insurance financing.
Steuergelder werden hier kurzfristig ausgegeben, ohne dass eine Strategie für eine künftige, stabile Krankenkassen-Finanzierung besteht.
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
For decades, the excessively high conversion rate has caused a non-transparent redistribution in the second pillar. Younger employees (low-birth-rate cohorts) are paying the bill, as the system has tended to shift from personal savings to a pay-as-you-go system similar to AHV in recent decades, which was not intended to be this way.
Der zu hohe Umwandlungssatz verursacht seit Jahrzehnten eine intransparente Umverteilung in der zweiten Säule. Die Zeche zahlen jüngere Arbeitnehmende (geburtenschwache Jahrgänge), da das System in den letzten Jahrzehnten von einem persönlichen Ansparen auf ein Umlage-Verfahren analog AHV tendiert, was so nicht vorgesehen war.
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
I am in favor of an equally long parental leave for both parents, provided both are working (instead of maternity and paternity leave). To this end, the GLP has made a corresponding proposal in parliament.
Ich befürworte eine gleich lange Elternzeit für beide Eltern, sofern beide arbeitstätig sind (anstelle des Mutterschafts- und Vaterschaftsurlaubs). Hierzu hat die GLP einen entsprechenden Vorstoss im Parlament gemacht.
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
Sufficiently high vaccination rates should be achieved by persuasion and not not through coercion.
Genügend hohe Impfraten sollen durch Überzeugungsarbeit und nicht durch Zwang erzielt werden.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
The "polluter pays" principle and personal responsibility must also be strengthened in the area of health care costs. The overloading of emergency units in hospitals clearly shows the problem. However, in view of the high burden of health insurance premiums on households, completely new solutions must be sought that are sustainable and geared to the long term.
Das Verursacherprinzip und die Eigenverantwortung sind grundsätzlich auch bei den Gesundheitskosten zu stärken. Die Überlastung von Notfall-Stellen in Spitälern zeigen das Problem deutlich auf. Angesichts der hohen Belastung der Haushalte durch Krankenkassenprämien sind jedoch komplett neue Lösungen zu suchen, die nachhaltig und langfristig ausgerichtet sind.
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
Experience shows that the federal government and the cantons must be able to quickly resort to temporary measures in the event of a crisis, while politics must be able to act as a corrective. It is not expedient to proactively restrict the scope for action.
Die Erfahrung zeigt, dass Bund und Kantone im Krisenfall rasch auf temporäre Massnahmen zurückgreifen können müssen und die Politik dabei aber als Korrektiv wirken können muss. Es ist nicht zielführend, den Handlungsspielraum proaktiv einzuschränken.
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
The Confederation should primarily motivate the cantons to implement supraregional hospital solutions and set appropriate incentives for control.
Der Bund soll v.a. die Kantone zu überregionalen Spitallösungen motivieren und entsprechende Anreize zur Steuerung setzen.
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
As GLP we support the integrative school. However, this must be geared to the individual needs of the children. This must be accompanied by a strengthening of the quality of the school system and teaching competence must be strengthened.
Als GLP unterstützen wir die integrative Schule. Diese muss aber auf die individuellen Bedürfnisse der Kinder ausgerichtet sein. Damit einhergehend muss die Qualität des Schulsystems und der Lehrkompetenz gestärkt 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
A standardization of the requirements would be very much to be advocated, an increase rather not, since the proportion of high school graduates per year is rather small compared to the European level. This would only lead to fewer successfully completing the Gymnasium and going on to study, and more academics would have to be brought in from abroad - not to strengthen the university location, but to "fill gaps".
Eine Vereinheitlichung der Anforderungen wäre sehr zu befürworten, eine Erhöhung eher nicht, da der Anteil der Maturandinnen und Maturanden pro Jahrgang im Vergleich zum europäischen Niveau eher klein ist. Das würde nur dazu führen, dass weniger das Gymnasium erfolgreich absolvieren und studieren könnten und mehr Akademiker aus dem Ausland geholt werden müssten - nicht um den Uni-Standort zu stärken, sondern "Lücken zu füllen".
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
All people must be able to realize their full potential - throughout their lives. We must nurture the talents and potential of all children so that every child has the opportunity for a self-determined life.
Jeder Mensch sein volles Potenzial ausschöpfen können – und das ein Leben lang. Wir müssen die Talente und Potenziale aller Kinder fördern, damit jedes Kind die Möglichkeit auf ein selbst bestimmtes Leben bekommt.
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
Requirements regarding exemption from punishment and integration (language skills), on the other hand, are to remain.
Anforderungen hinsichtlich Straffreiheit und Integration (Sprachkenntnisse) sollen hingegen 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Asylum procedures outside Europe

| 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
The municipalities should be able to decide this themselves or their voting population.
Die Gemeinden sollen dies selbst entscheiden können bzw. deren stimmberechtigte Bevölkerung.
Society & ethics

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
The GLP has the following opinion: "We want to live in a pluralistic society in which individual freedom and personal responsibility enjoy a very high status. This freedom may only be restricted if the freedom of third parties is curtailed or they are threatened with harm."
Die GLP vertritt folgende Meinung: «Wir wollen in einer pluralistischen Gesellschaft leben, in der die individuelle Freiheit und die Eigenverantwortung einen sehr hohen Stellenwert geniessen. Diese Freiheit darf nur dann eingeschränkt werden, wenn die Freiheit Dritter beschnitten wird oder ihnen Schaden droht.»
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Comment
Alternatively, waiving the gender entry could also be a solution.
Alternativ könnte auch ein Verzicht auf den Geschlechtseintrag eine Lösung sein.
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
The GLP and myself have the following opinion: "Equality of all family and life models as well as equal opportunities are a matter of course for us and must be ensured. Discrimination and racism have no place in our society".
Die GLP und ich selbst vertreten folgende Meinung :«Die Gleichstellung aller Familien- und Lebensmodelle sowie die Chancengerechtigkeit sind für uns selbstverständlich und sicherzustellen. Diskriminierung und Rassismus haben in unserer Gesellschaft keinen Platz.»
Finances & taxes

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
This question depends very much on how it is structured (e.g. are other taxes reduced/adjusted in return or not, is consideration given to SMEs (succession planning) etc.).
Bei dieser Frage kommt es sehr auf die Ausgestaltung an (z.B. werden im Gegenzug andere Steuern reduziert/angepasst oder nicht, wird Rücksicht auf KMU (Nachfolgeregelung) genommen etc.).

Achieve climate targets through incentives
To achieve climate targets, should incentives and target agreements be relied on exclusively, rather than bans and restrictions?

Comment
The GKP and I have the following opinion on this: "So that our descendants can also develop freely in their lives, we have a duty to leave them neither ecological nor financial legacies. We want to achieve this primarily with incentives and only where not otherwise possible with regulations and prohibitions."
Die GKP und ich vertreten dazu folgende Meinung: «Damit sich auch unsere Nachkommen in ihrem Leben frei entfalten können, stehen wir in der Pflicht, ihnen weder ökologische noch finanzielle Altlasten zu hinterlassen. Das wollen wir in erster Linie mit Anreizen und nur wo nicht anders möglich mit Vorschriften und Verboten erreichen.»

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
It all comes down to efficient, intelligent implementation. For example, there are alternatives to post offices. The only thing that matters is the service and not the method of delivery (e.g., at the local grocery store or kiosk).
Es kommt auf eine effiziente, intelligente Umsetzung an. Zum Beispiel gibt es Alternativen zu Poststellen. Entscheidend ist nur der Service und nicht die Art (bspw. im lokalen Lebensmittelladen oder Kiosk) der Erbringung.
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
It depends on the design (green electricity vs. nuclear electricity or coal-fired electricity, etc., appropriate guarantee of social compatibility, etc.). In principle, this can provide an incentive to save electricity in accordance with the "polluter pays" principle.
Es kommt auf die Ausgestaltung an (Grüner Strom vs. Atomstrom oder Kohlestrom etc., angemessene Gewährleistung der Sozialverträglichkeit etc.). Grundsätzlich kann damit nach dem Verursacherprinzip ein Anreiz gesetzt erden, Strom zu sparen.

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
If reusable systems and industry solutions do not bear fruit, we will have to discuss bans or depot fees. In Switzerland, 14,000 tons of plastic still end up in the environment every year.
Wenn Mehrwegsysteme und Branchenlösungen nicht fruchten, werden wir über Verbote oder Depot-Gebühren diskutieren müssen. Noch immer gelangen in der Schweiz pro Jahr 14’000 Tonnen Plastik in die Umwelt.

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Media diversity, quality journalism and regional media in a multilingual Switzerland are central to a direct, federal and multilingual democracy. There is certainly a need for innovation in media funding, but not for this clear-cut approach.

Environmental and climate protection and the promotion of sustainable, resource-saving concepts in industry, the service sector and the private sector are crucial and as a result these ideas drive innovation and creativity in society and business, and are therefore in their interest. In the medium to long term, poor environmental protection has a negative impact on the economy/economic growth (destruction of natural resources, loss of biodiversity, damage to health, etc.).
Umwelt- und Klimaschutz sowie die Förderung nachhaltiger, ressourcenschonender Konzepte in Industrie, Dienstleistung und im Privaten sind entscheidend und in der Folge sind diese Ideen Antrieb für Innovation und Kreativität in Gesellschaft und Wirtschaft und damit in deren Interesse.

Comment
The pension system is increasingly becoming unbalanced due to demographic change. The GLP pursues the goal of reducing the redistribution from employees to pensioners and at the same time maintaining the pension level as far as possible. In this way, the intergenerational contract should continue to be supported by everyone in the future. To achieve this, the retirement age must be adjusted and, above all, made more flexible, taking into account industry-specific conditions.
Die Altersvorsorge wird durch den demografischen Wandel zunehmend ins Ungleichgewicht geraten. Die GLP verfolgt das Ziel die Umverteilung von Arbeitnehmenden zu Rentner:innen zu reduzieren und zugleich das Rentenniveau möglichst zu erhalten. So soll der Generationenvertrag auch in Zukunft von allen mitgetragen werden. Dafür sind eine Anpassung und vor allem Flexibilisierung des Rentenalters unter Berücksichtigung der branchenspezifischen Verhältnisse nötig.
