Welfare state & family

Raise the retirement age to 67

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

When the AHV was introduced in 1948, life expectancy was 66 years for men and 71 years for women. Today, life expectancy for both sexes is well over 80 years. As a result, the amount of time we can experience as pensioners has increased massively. It is obvious that this makes financing more and more difficult and that an adjustment is necessary.

Als die AHV 1948 eingeführt wurde betrug die Lebenserwartung der Männer 66 Jahre, die der Frauen 71 Jahre. Heute liegt die Lebenserwartung beider Geschlechter deutlich über 80 Jahre. Dadurch ist die Zeitspanne, die wir als Rentner erleben dürfen, massiv gestiegen. Es liegt auf der Hand, dass die Finanzierung dadurch immer schwieriger wird und eine Anpassung notwendig ist.

Introduce compulsory vaccination for children

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

The scientific benefits of vaccination are clearly proven. Nevertheless, vaccination should remain voluntary.

Der wissenschaftliche Nutzen von Impfungen ist wissenschaftlich klar belegt. Trotzdem soll die Impfung freiwillig bleiben.

Introduce a tax on sugary foods

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

In the case of the sugar tax, the consumer's personal responsibility is often used as an argument. Unfortunately, however, consumers are not in a position to exercise their personal responsibility at a reasonable cost, since the food industry is continuously increasing the sugar content of foods and consumers have no alternative with a lower sugar content in countless areas.

Bei der Zuckersteuer wird gerne mit der Eigenverantwortung des Konsumenten argumentiert. Nur leider ist der Konsument gar nicht in der Lage, seine Eigenverantwortung mit vertretbarem Aufwand wahrzunehmen, da die Lebensmittelindustrie den Zuckergehalt der Lebensmittel kontinuierlich steigert und der Konsument in unzähligen Bereichen gar keine Alternative mit geringerem Zuckergehalt hat.

Legalize cannabis use

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

Legalization would improve the protection of young people: While young people find it difficult to obtain alcohol thanks to the age limit that is consistently implemented in the retail trade, they can obtain cannabis from dealers without any problems. Legalization would allow a regulation that is (logically) neither wanted nor possible in the black market.

Die Legalisierung würde den Schutz der Jugend verbessern: Während Jugendliche dank der im Detailhandel konsequent umgesetztes Alterslimite nur schwer an Alkohol kommen, bekommen sie bei Dealer problemlos Cannabis. Die Legalisierung würde eine Regulierung erlauben, die im Schwarzmarkt (logischerweise) weder gewollt noch möglich ist.

Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

The introduction of a third gender is well-intentioned, but complicates matters. The goal, however, must be to make the world less complicated, which can be achieved by dispensing with the gender entry.

Die Einführung eines dritten Geschlechts ist gut gemeint, verkompliziert allerdings die Angelegenheit. Das Ziel muss aber sein, die Welt unkomplizierter zu machen, was mit dem Verzicht auf den Geschlechtseintrag erreicht werden kann.

Equality between same-sex and heterosexual couples

Finances & taxes

Reduce taxes at the federal level

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

In principle, of course, we all enjoy tax cuts, but in view of the federal government's structural deficit, costs must be cut first. After that, we can happily talk about tax cuts. As an entrepreneur, I also have to ensure the profitability of my company first before I can enjoy a dividend.

Prinzipiell haben wir natürlich alle Freude an Steuersenkungen, aber angesichts des strukturellen Defizits des Bundes müssen zuerst die Kosten gesenkt werden. Danach kann man gerne über Steuersenkungen sprechen. Als Unternehmer muss ich auch zuerst die Rentabilität meines Unternehmens sicherstellen, bevor ich mir die Freude einer Dividende machen kann.

Ban new registrations of combustion engine vehicles from 2035

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

However, the question is moot. Since it will no longer be possible to register combustion engines in the EU after 2035, the auto industry will hardly offer a special version with a combustion engine especially for Switzerland. And it will also make little sense to register a car in Switzerland that can no longer be refueled in any neighboring country in the foreseeable future.

Die Frage ist allerdings hinfällig. Da in der EU ab 2035 keine Verbrenner mehr zugelassen werden können, wird die Autoindustrie kaum eine Spezialversion mit Verbrennungsmotor extra für die Schweiz anbieten. Und es wird auch wenig Sinn machen, in der Schweiz ein Auto zuzulassen, das in absehbarer Zeit in keinem einzigen Nachbarland mehr betankt werden kann.

Achieve climate targets through incentives

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Make the rules for renewable energy less strict

No Rather no Rather yes Yes

Authorize the construction of new nuclear power plants

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

Nuclear power leaves enormous mortgages to future generations in the form of radioactive waste. I believe that we should pay the bill for our consumption ourselves and not leave it to our descendants. Renewables are more expensive for us, but cheaper for our descendants.

Die Atomkraft hinterlässt den kommenden Generationen gewaltige Hypotheken in Form von radioaktivem Abfall. Ich bin der Ansicht, dass wir die Rechnung für unseren Konsum selbst bezahlen und nicht unseren Nachkommen hinterlassen sollten. Die Erneuerbaren sind für uns teurer, für unsere Nachkommen aber billiger.

Ensure a comprehensive range of public services

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

We urgently need a decentralization of the economy to alleviate the traffic problem (commuting). This requires adequate infrastructure (especially a fiber-optic network) in rural areas.

Wir brauchen dringen eine Dezentralisierung der Wirtschaft, um die Verkehrsproblematik zu entschärfen (Pendelverkehr). Dazu ist eine angemessene Infrastruktur (vor allem Glasfasernetz) auf dem Land notwendig.

Making provisions for the protection of large predators more flexible

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

In principle, rather no. However, as Zurich residents who are not affected, we must not close our ears to the arguments of the affected mountain cantons.

Prinzipiell eher nein. Als nicht betroffene Zürcher dürfen wir unsere Ohren aber nicht vor den Argumenten der betroffenen Bergkantone verschliessen.

No Rather no Rather yes Yes
Comment

30% sounds like an insane amount, but it is not when we consider how large the portions of alpine Switzerland are that can be used neither for agriculture nor for settlements.

30% klingt nach wahnsinnig viel, ist es aber nicht, wenn wir bedenken, wie gross die Anteile der alpinen Schweiz sind, die weder landwirtschaftlich noch für Siedlungen genutzt werden können.

Security measures taken by the state

Comment

This statement is certainly true in a functioning constitutional state. However, it is the ongoing task of politics to ensure that this is actually the case. Caution is called for in the case of extensive surveillance.

Die Aussage ist in einem funktionierenden Rechtsstaat sicher richtig. Es ist indes die andauernde Aufgabe der Politik, dafür zu sorgen, dass das auch tatsächlich der Fall ist. Vorsicht ist bei flächenmässiger Überwachung geboten.

Free market economy

1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Comment

The free market economy is the indispensable prerequisite for everyone to benefit. But it alone does not guarantee that everyone benefits; for that, a well-balanced equilibrium between free market economy and protection of employees is needed.

Die freie Marktwirtschaft ist die unverzichtbare Voraussetzung dafür, dass alle profitieren können. Aber sie alleine garantiert nicht, dass alle was davon haben, dafür braucht es ein wohl austariertes Gleichgewicht zwischen freier Marktwirtschaft und Schutz der Arbeitnehmer.

Compensate for differences in income and wealth

1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Comment

The willingness to perform is the prerequisite for prosperity. A certain amount of redistribution is certainly necessary in the interests of justice, but it must not under any circumstances curtail the willingness to perform. The welfare state can only be financed as long as those who pay are motivated to work hard.

Die Leistungsbereitschaft ist die Voraussetzung für Wohlstand. Eine gewisse Umverteilung ist im Sinne der Gerechtigkeit sicher notwendig, aber sie darf keinesfalls die Leistungsbereitschaft beschneiden. Der Sozialstaat kann nur so lange finanziert werden, wie diejenigen, die zahlen, motiviert sind, viel zu arbeiten.
