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
Access to medical care is a fundamental right. Regrettably, however, health insurance premiums in Switzerland have risen steadily since 1996. Insurance companies seem to thrive at the expense of policyholders, and despite the already considerably high premiums we pay, the benefits and coverage offered are steadily being reduced. One solution would be to set up a state insurance fund to put an end to such practices.
L'accès aux soins médicaux est un droit fondamental. Cependant, il est regrettable de constater que les primes d'assurance maladie n'ont fait qu'augmenter depuis 1996 en Suisse. Les compagnies d'assurances semblent prospérer aux dépens des assurés, et malgré les primes déjà considérablement élevées que nous acquittons, les prestations et la couverture offertes sont régulièrement réduites. Une solution serait d'instaurer une caisse d'assurance étatique visant à mettre fin à de telles pratiques.
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
The situation in Switzerland clearly shows that it is difficult to subsist on pensions alone. Our senior citizens are often forced to seek help from the Service des Prestations Complémentaires (SPC). It's high time to review pension amounts so that married couples can benefit from full pensions, just like single people. Fairness in retirement benefits is essential to guarantee a decent quality of life for our senior citizens.
La situation en Suisse montre clairement qu'il est difficile de subsister uniquement avec sa retraite. Nos aînés sont souvent contraints de solliciter l'aide du Service des Prestations Complémentaires (SPC). Il est grand temps de revoir les montants des rentes afin que les couples mariés puissent bénéficier de rentes complètes, à l'instar des célibataires. Une équité dans les allocations de retraite s'avère essentielle pour garantir une qualité de vie décente à nos aînés.
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
We've all experienced parenthood. It's important for children to spend time with both mother and father after birth.
Nous avons tous expérimenté la parentalité. Il est important que les enfants puissent passer du temps avec la mère et le père après leur naissance.
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
Strengthening financial support for public housing prevents dumping, secures the market and ensures affordable housing.
Renforcer le soutien financier aux logements d'utilité publique prévient le dumping, sécurise le marché et assure des logements abordables.
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
While respecting parents' choice, I'm in favor of strengthening childhood vaccinations in line with the Swiss plan.
Tout en respectant le choix des parents, je suis favorable au renforcement des vaccinations pour enfants selon le plan suisse.
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
Excessive sugar consumption is the main cause of diabetes. This in turn increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, blindness, inflammation of vital organs, obesity, blood pressure, glycemia, cholesterol levels and more.
La consommation excessive de sucre est la principale cause du diabète. Cela à pour conséquence d'augmenter les risques de maladies cardiovasculaires telle ques, la cécité, l'inflammation d'organes vitaux, l'obésité, la pression artérielle, la glycémie, le taux de cholestérol, etc.
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
Raising the deductible is not the solution. Healthcare plays a crucial role in our society and our country. Insurers should lower their rates, but their room for maneuver is amplified by the lack of competition. In this situation, government intervention is essential.
Élever la franchise n'est pas la solution. La santé tient un rôle crucial dans notre société et notre pays. Les assureurs devraient revoir leurs tarifs à la baisse, mais leur marge de manœuvre est amplifiée par le manque de concurrence. Dans cette situation, l'intervention de l'État s'impose.
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
Yes, it is crucial to maintain a balance between public health protection and individual rights. However, in the event of a pandemic, a narrower margin of maneuver for the Federal Council could prevent excessive restrictions while guaranteeing security.
Oui, il est crucial de maintenir un équilibre entre la protection de la santé publique et les droits individuels. Cependant, en cas de pandémie, une marge de manœuvre plus restreinte pour le Conseil fédéral pourrait prévenir des restrictions excessives tout en garantissant la sécurité.
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
No, hospital planning is best left to the cantons. They have a better understanding of local needs and can tailor supply more precisely. Centralizing this responsibility at federal level could lead to less appropriate decisions.
Non, il est préférable de laisser la planification hospitalière aux cantons. Ils comprennent mieux les besoins locaux et peuvent adapter l'offre de manière plus précise. Centraliser cette compétence au niveau fédéral pourrait entraîner des décisions moins adaptées.
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
Yes, I'm totally in favor of the integrative school concept. It is essential to promote inclusion and diversity by enabling children with learning difficulties or disabilities to benefit from appropriate support. This support should be provided by dedicated professionals, emphasizing their empathy and commitment, rather than being limited to holding diplomas.
Oui, je suis totalement en faveur du concept de l'école intégrative. Il est essentiel de promouvoir l'inclusion et la diversité en permettant aux enfants avec des difficultés d'apprentissage ou des handicaps de bénéficier d'un soutien adapté. Ce soutien devrait être assuré par des professionnels dévoués, mettant en avant leur empathie et leur engagement, plutôt que de se limiter à la détention de diplômes.
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 Confederation should review the requirements for the maturité gymnasiale. One recommended approach would be to tailor teaching to the aspirations of each student and the stream they choose. This would better prepare students for the specific fields they wish to pursue, by offering a more focused and relevant education.
La Confédération devrait revoir les exigences de la maturité gymnasiale. Une approche recommandée serait d'adapter l'enseignement en fonction des aspirations de chaque élève et de la filière qu'il choisit. Cela permettrait de mieux préparer les étudiants pour les domaines spécifiques qu'ils souhaitent poursuivre, en en offrant une éducation plus ciblé et pertinente.
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
By offering subsidized remedial courses to students from low-income families, we would reduce inequalities and give everyone, regardless of their family background, the same chances of success in their educational career. This would contribute to building a more equitable society and enhancing the potential of all individuals.
Tout à fait, en proposant des cours de rattrapage subventionnés aux élèves issus de familles à faible revenu, on réduirait les inégalités et on offrirait à chacun, indépendamment de son milieu familial, les mêmes chances de réussite dans son parcours éducatif. Cela contribuerait à construire une société plus équitable et à valoriser le potentiel de tous les individus.
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
Shortening the waiting period could jeopardize the full assessment of this integration. It is important to maintain adequate requirements to ensure that those who become citizens share the country's values and commitments.
Raccourcir le délai d'attente pourrait compromettre l'évaluation complète de cette intégration. Il est important de maintenir des exigences adéquates pour garantir que ceux qui deviennent citoyens partagent les valeurs et les engagements du pays.
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
It's essential to highlight locally untapped talent. Unemployment and HG registrations show that we have an available workforce. Rather than hiring more qualified people from outside, we should focus our efforts on developing individuals by offering training tailored to job vacancies, including on-the-job training. This would make it possible to fully exploit Switzerland's existing human potential.
Il est essentiel de mettre en avant les talents inexploités localement. Le chômage et les inscriptions à l'HG montrent que nous avons de la main-d'œuvre disponible. Plutôt que engager davantage de personnes qualifiées de l'extérieur, nous devrions concentrer nos efforts sur la valorisation des individus en proposant des formations adaptées aux postes vacants, y compris des formations sur le lieu de travail. Cela permettrait d'exploiter pleinement le potentiel humain existant en Suisse.
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?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Yes, I agree, because they are involved in and affected by decisions taken at municipal level. Granting the right to vote and stand for election to foreigners who have been resident in Switzerland for at least ten years would be a way of guaranteeing their active participation in community life and recognizing their contribution to society.
Oui, je suis d'accord, car elles sont impliquées et impactées par les décisions prises au niveau communal. Accorder le droit de vote et d'éligibilité aux personnes étrangères résidant en Suisse depuis au moins dix ans serait un moyen de garantir leur participation active dans la vie de la communauté et de reconnaître leur contribution à la société.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Yes, legalizing cannabis could be a solution to reducing the presence of dealers on our streets. It would also help to better regulate consumption, control product quality and generate tax revenue for the state. However, prevention and education measures would be essential to minimize the risks associated with consumption.
Oui, la légalisation du cannabis pourrait être une solution pour réduire la présence de dealers dans nos rues. Cela permettrait également de mieux encadrer la consommation, de contrôler la qualité du produit et de générer des revenus fiscaux pour l'État. Cependant, des mesures de prévention et d'éducation seraient essentielles pour minimiser les risques liés à la consommation.
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
No, I'm not in favor of allowing direct active euthanasia performed solely by a doctor. This approach could potentially lead to abuse and subjective decisions. Such a delicate decision should involve a broader approach, inviting the public to have their say, taking into account the wishes of the patient and his or her family, while considering the ethical and medical issues involved.
Non, je ne suis pas favorable à autoriser l'euthanasie active directe pratiquée uniquement par un médecin. Cette approche pourrait potentiellement conduire à des abus et à des décisions prises de manière subjective. Une décision aussi délicate devrait impliquer une approche plus large, en invitant la population à se prononcer, en tenant compte des souhaits du patient et de sa famille, tout en prenant en considération les enjeux éthiques et médicaux impliqués.

|---|---|---|---|
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
I am open to the introduction of a national inheritance tax for inheritances in excess of one million francs, but this will depend on the percentage of the tax proposed. I think a referendum should be envisaged to gather public opinion on this issue.
Je suis ouverte à l'introduction d'un impôt national sur les successions pour les héritages supérieurs à un million de francs, mais cela dépendra du pourcentage de l'impôt proposé. Je pense qu'un référendum devrait être envisagé pour recueillir l'avis des citoyens sur cette question.

|---|---|---|---|
Regulate the financial sector more strictly
Do you support stricter regulations for the financial sector (e.g., stricter capital requirements for banks, ban on bonuses)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Imposing stricter capital rules for banks and putting an end to excessive bonuses is crucial to protecting our economies and our citizens. These measures are designed to avoid the mistakes of the (not so) distant past and promote more responsible financial management.
Imposer des règles plus strictes en matière de fonds propres pour les banques et mettre fin aux bonus excessifs est crucial pour protéger nos économies et nos citoyens. Ces mesures visent à éviter les erreurs du passé (pas si lointain) et à favoriser une gestion financière plus responsable.

Should private households be free to choose their electricity supplier (complete liberalization of the electricity market)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Comment
Yes, I'm in favor of people being free to choose their electricity supplier. I'm convinced that our citizens know how to choose their electricity supplier wisely, taking into account their preferences and needs.
Oui, je suis favorable à la liberté de choix de leur fournisseur d'électricité. Je suis convaincue que nos citoyens sachent sélectionner judicieusement leur prestataire d'électricité en tenant compte de ses préférences et de ses besoins.
Make housing construction regulations more flexible
Should housing construction regulations be relaxed (e.g., noise protection, occupancy rates)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Yes, it's imperative to ensure equal pay for equal work. In a modern society like ours in 2023, it's disconcerting that such disparities still persist.
Oui. Il est impératif de garantir que des salaires égaux soient accordés pour un travail équivalent. Dans une société moderne comme la nôtre en 2023, il est déconcertant que de telles disparités persistent encore.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway

Oui, il serait bénéfique d'élargir les tronçons d'autoroute très fréquentés et particulièrement aux heures de pointe, pour améliorer la fluidité du trafic et réduire les congestions.
Ban new registrations of combustion engine vehicles from 2035
Should Switzerland ban the registration of new passenger cars with internal combustion engines starting in 2035?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Electric cars have advantages in terms of emissions, but also disadvantages such as the extraction of materials like lithium, which has an impact on the environment. The complex recycling of batteries and the working conditions of miners are also concerns.
Les voitures électriques présentent des avantages en termes d'émissions, mais présentent des aussi des inconvénients tels que l'extraction de matériaux comme le lithium, qui impacte l'environnement. Le recyclage complexe des batteries et les conditions de travail des mineurs sont également des préoccupations.
Achieve climate targets through incentives
To achieve climate targets, should incentives and target agreements be relied on exclusively, rather than bans and restrictions?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I support the approach of persuasion rather than imposition to achieve climate targets.
Je soutiens l'approche de la persuasion plutôt que des impositions pour atteindre les objectifs climatiques.

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Oui, il faut instaurer des règles plus strictes en matière d'élevage d'animaux, notamment concernant leur nutrition et en garantissant un accès permanent à l'extérieur. Tout être, y compris les animaux, devrait avoir la possibilité de vivre dans des conditions de liberté et de bien-être.

Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Rather than lowering the voting age to 16, it would be better to find ways of encouraging young people to get involved in politics. At present, many young people do not vote because they feel that politics and politicians do not represent them. It's important to create spaces and initiatives to stimulate their political involvement.
Plutôt que d'abaisser l'âge du droit de vote à 16 ans, il serait préférable de trouver des moyens pour encourager l'implication politique des jeunes. Actuellement, beaucoup de jeunes ne votent pas car ils estiment que la politique et les politiciens ne les représentent pas.

Cela permettrait à la Suisse de mieux contrôler ses frontières tout en maintenant des relations commerciales importantes avec l'UE.
Return to a strict interpretation of neutrality
Should Switzerland return to a strict interpretation of neutrality (renounce economic sanctions to a large extent)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
