| 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?

|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In der Schweiz haben alle das gleiche Recht auf Gesundheit, was durch eine sehr gute und umfassende Gesundheitsversorgung unterstützt wird. Top Leistung hat seinen Preis. Um diesen zu bezahlen könnte man mehr Steuergelder aufwenden. Oder die Individuellen Beiträge erhöhen. Mehr Leistung für weniger Geld gibt es leider nucht.
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
Der Bundesrat bildet die Exekutive. Er hat in der COVID-19 Pandemie bewiesen, dass er das für eine effektive und effizient Bewältigung notwendige Exekutivrecht nicht missbraucht sondern gezielt einzusetzen weiss. Die Fähigkeit dies auch in Zukunft zu gewährleisten sollte bei der Bundesratsmitgliederwahl einfliessen.

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 |

Es ist wichtig mit allen Teilen der Bevölkerung in Kontakt zu sein und den Umgang, zB mit behinderten Personen möglichst früh zu erlernen und später zu pflegen.
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
Eine gymnasiale Matura ist eine Auszeichnung dafür, dass man schulisches lernen, das man als Voraussetzung für universitäres Lernen nennen kann, besonders gut beherrscht. Dies sollte sie auch weiterhin klar deklarieren. Viel besser wäre es dem Drang nach mehr Bildung in einer breiten Bevölkerung durch kreative, neue und potenziell konkurrenzfähige Angebote zu erweitern (vgl. zB ETHs die aus Fachschulen entstanden und heute die klassischen Universitäten ergänzen)
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 |
|---|---|---|---|

Bildungs- und Ausbildungschancengleichheit muss unbedingt gewährleistet sein. Ob Förderunterricht die beste Massnahme ist dies sicherzustellen, wage ich zu bezweifeln.

Should the conditions for naturalization be relaxed (e.g., shorter residence period)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Die Welt ist heute global und die Wohlfahrt der Schweiz ist auf Einwanderung angewiesen. Dem sollte Rechnung getragen werden und Integrationsfreudige Einwanderer:innen sollten schneller willkommen geheissen werden.

Do you support efforts to house asylum seekers in centers outside Europe during the asylum procedure?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Comment
Dasführt zu einem Logistischen und Judikativen Mehraufwand und extremen Kosten. Ausserdem kann dies Traumata von zukünftig Asylgewährten noch verstärken oder hervorrufen.

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 |

Die Heiratsstrafe ist altertümlich und schadet der Schweizer Wirtschaft markant, indem Sie Anreize schafft, dass verheiratete Schweizer:innen sich nicht am Arbeitsmarkt beteiligen.
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
Gerne dürfte man den Cut-off auch höher setzen, zB bei 10 Mio. Ich sehe aber eigentlich nicht ein weshalb gewisse Menschen durch puren Zufall ab Geburt einen übermässig grossen Geldbetrag zugesprochen bekommen sollten.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|

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
Da dies rundherum bereits beschlossen ist, braucht es wohl zwar nicht zwingend ein Verbot, aber es schadet auch nicht.

Strengthening cooperation between the Swiss army and NATO
Should the Swiss Armed Forces expand their cooperation with NATO?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Die Ukraine hat gezeigt: ein Alleingang ist unnötig mühsam. Die neutralität der Schweiz besteht zwar auf dem Papier, schreckt aber keine irrationale Angreifer ab. Ein NATO Beitritt uU. schon.

Nein. Für ein Kind ist es am besten zT von Eltern aber auch zT in Gruppen und von anderen Betreuenden betreut zu werden. Ein diverses Spektrum an Betreuung erlaubt es seine eigene Persönlichkeit und Meinungen zu entwickeln.

Das Verhindern von Taten ist das wichtigste. Dazu dienen sowohl harte Strafen zur Abschreckung aber auch die wiedereingliederung nach verbüsster Strafe. Sowohl eine Kuscheljustiz wie eine inhumane Drakonie erfüllen diesen Zweck schlecht.
