| 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
Only as a temporary solution to reduce the pressure. But sustainable changes are also needed with regard to the future of the healthcare system.
Nur als Übergangslösung um den Druck zu reduzieren. Es braucht aber nachhaltige Veränderungen auch im Hinblick auf die Zukunft des Gesundheitswesen.
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 general, there is a need for an overall revision, not only of the AHV pension, but also of the rights and obligations depending on marital status.
Generell braucht es eine Gesamtrevision, nicht nur der AHV Rente, sondern auch bei den Rechten und Pflichten in Abhängigkeit vom Zivilstand.
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
Modernization is needed in the occupational pension system
Es braucht eine Modernisierung in der beruflichen Vorsorge
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 |

As has long been possible in other countries, more flexibility is to be made possible here for fathers as well.
Wie es bereits in anderen Ländern lange möglich ist soll hier mehr Flexibilität ermöglicht werden auch für Väter.
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
The emphasis should not be on coercion, but on conviction and understanding.
Es sollte nicht der Zwang, sondern Überzeugung und Verständnis im Vordergrund stehen.
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
Again, through bans we cannot change behavior, understanding must be built. Sugar reduction is a very efficient prevention method, which costs us as humans nothing but, if you try it yourself, can improve a lot. But it is only one of many prevention measures, we can not regulate everything but support and educate.
Auch hier, durch Verbote können wir nicht Verhalten ändern, es muss das Verständnis aufgebaut werden. Zuckerreduktion ist eine sehr effiziente Präventionsmethode, die uns als Menschen nichts kostet aber, wenn man es selber probiert, sehr vieles verbessern kann. Es ist aber nur eine von vielen Präventionsmassnahmen, wir können nicht alles regulieren aber unterstützen und ausbilden.
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
Local measures are already well possible and are sufficient to be able to react quickly. However, communication should certainly be strengthened.
Lokale Massnahmen sind bereits gut möglich und genügen um rasch reagieren zu können. Die Kommunikation dürfte aber durchaus gestärkt 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
We are a small country, cross-cantonal planning makes perfect sense, but the inclusion of local needs should still be taken into account.
Wir sind ein kleines Land, eine Kantonsüberschreitende Planung ist durchaus sinnvoll, der Einbezug der lokalen Bedürfnisse sollten dennoch berücksichtigt werden.
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
However, the teaching competence must also be strengthened here and the implementation, as well as the supervision ratio, must be able to be adapted individually and flexibly, without a lot of bureaucracy or long waiting times. Integration is important but the limits must be respected.
Allerdings muss auch hier die Lehrkompetenz gestärkt werden und die Umsetzung, sowie das Betreuungsverhältnis muss individuell und flexibel angepasst werden können, dies ohne viel Bürokratie oder lange Wartezeiten. Integration ist wichtig aber die Grenzen müssen beachtet 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
The pressure should not be increased but a Switzerland-wide standardization. Harmonization should be in the foreground.
Der Druck sollte nicht erhöht werden aber eine schweizweite Vereinheitlichung. Eine Harmonisierung sollte im Vordergrund stehen.
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
Equal opportunity is important, but it should not be judged solely on the basis of income, but should generally allow for diverse support for all and at all levels.
Chancengleichheit ist wichtig, es soll aber nicht nur anhand des Einkommens beurteilt werden, sondern generell eine vielfältige Förderung für alle und auf allen Stufen ermöglichen.
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
It should not only be about numbers and exclusion, but motivation, togetherness and integration.
Es soll nicht nur um Zahlen gehen und Ausgrenzung, sondern Motivation, Miteinander und Integration.
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)?

Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Bans do not prevent, as the past has shown clearly enough. But there should also be no trivialization and clear protection of children and young people should be ensured. Especially with variants in the form of sweets, as with alcohol, prevention must be strengthened.
Verbote verhindern nicht, das hat die Vergangenheit deutlich genug gezeigt. Es soll aber auch keine Verharmlosung stattfinden und klarer Kinder und Jugendschutz sichergestellt werden. Gerade bei Varianten in Form von Süssigkeiten, wie schon bei Alkohol muss Prävention gestärkt werden.
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
However, it must never be demanded of a physician. Personal responsibility and autonomy is important but also for the medical profession and nursing.
Es darf aber nie von einem Arzt verlangt werden. Eigenverantwortung und Autonomie ist wichtig aber auch für die Ärzteschaft und Pflege.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Even if it is easier to calculate and work with a dual system, we must not simply blindly oppose the tertium datur, but find a way.
Auch wenn es einfacher ist mit einem Dualen System zu rechnen und zu arbeiten, dürfen wir uns dem tertium datur nicht einfach blind entgegenstellen, sondern einen Weg finden.
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
Equality should not be defined by sex or because it always has been, especially since family and life models have always been oriented around life.
Gleichstellung sollte nicht durch Sex definiert werden oder weil es schon immer so war, zumal die Familien- und Lebensmodelle sich schon immer am Leben orientiert haben.
