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
Das Ziel muss sein, die Krankenkassen-Prämien bezahlbar zu halten, so dass es nicht mehr Prämienverbilligung braucht. Zudem muss die Prämienverbilligung möglichst gut denjenigen Personen zugute kommen, die es wirklich nötig haben.
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
Es müssen bei der AHV neue Weg gefunden werden, um die "Heiratsstrafe" zu eliminieren und trotzdem die Renten den Lebenshaltungskosten entsprechend auszugestalten.
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
Grundsätzlich ist es falsch, wenn der Staat einen Mindestumwandlungssatz vorgibt. Die Regelung sollte vielmehr in die Richtung erfolgen, dass die Renten entsprechend dem Geschäftsgang angepasst werden müssen.
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
Es ist hier noch mehr auf "Gleichbehandlung" von Müttern und Vätern zu achten.
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
Bei Wohnungen die vom Bund finanziell gefördert wurden, sind auch vermehrt Vorgaben zur Wohnnutzung (Fläche pro Nutzer) zu machen.
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
Wenn überhaupt, ist nur eine Impfpflicht für pandemische Krankheiten legitim.
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
Vorher sind alle anderen Möglichkeiten auszuschöpfen.
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
Das wäre sicher eine Möglichkeit um die Prämien im Griff zu behalten, doch es senkt nicht wirklich die Gesundheitskosten.
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 hat in der Corona-Pandemie sehr gut gehandelt, wenn man sich bewusst ist, wie wenig man gewusst hat wie sich das ganze entwickelt. Das war sicher auch ein Vorteil des Siebner-Gremium, dass hier gemeinsam ein Entscheid entwickelt werden musste.
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
Die aktuelle Aufgabenaufteilung zwischen Bund / Kantone / Gemeinden ist iO.
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
Für viele Fälle ist dieses Konzept iO. Es passt aber nicht in jedem Fall, es muss mehr Möglichkeiten geben, auch andere Formen für den Unterricht zu wählen.
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
Der Anteil der Jungen die ihre Ausbildung auf dem dritten Bildungsweg machen sollte eher etwas grösser werden. Diese Personen machen während der Lehre schon wichtige Erfahrungen mit dem Arbeitsleben. Diese können auf dem rein schulischen Bildungsweg nicht vermittelt werden.
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
Man darf dabei keine Wunder erwarten. Wenn die Rahmenbedingungen nicht stimmen, ist das Risiko gross, dass der gewünschte Erfolg nicht eintritt. Da nützt auch mehr Geldeinsatz nichts.
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
Wesentlich bleiben die Anforderungen an die Integration. Dies soll weiterhin ein wichtiges Kriterium sein.
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
Bei der aktuellen demographischen Entwicklung wird das ein wichtiges Element sein, damit genug Arbeitskräfte für die Wirtschaft zur Verfügung stehen. Alternativen sind: Rentenalter erhöhen, Arbeitszeit erhöhen, Arbeitsquote der Frauen erhöhen, weniger Ferien. Alles Punkte die von der Bevölkerung noch schlechter akzeptiert werden.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Eigentlich kommt es nicht darauf an, wo die Verfahren durchgeführt werden. Sie sollen korrekt und fair sein, so dass diejenigen Personen Asyl erhalten, die es auch wirklich nötig haben.
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
Aus meiner Sicht ist es richtig, dass nur Personen die das Schweizer Bürgerrecht haben auch das Stimm- und Wahlrecht haben.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Ich bin auch dafür, dass der Staat Cannabis gratis abgibt. Das legt der Mafia das Handwerk und damit sinkt das Risiko für Neueinsteiger in das Drogenmilieu.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Da ist unklar was das wirklich bedeutet.
Finances & taxes
Reduce taxes at the federal level
Do you support tax cuts at the federal level over the next four years?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Das muss mit dem Finanzhaushalt zusammen passen. Dazu kommt, dass es unterschiedliche Steuerquellen gibt. Die Frage ist jedoch allgemein gestellt.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Eine harmonisierung über die Kantone des Steuerrechts in diesem Bereich wäre sicher nicht falsch. Ob es gleich eine "Bundessteuer" sein muss, ist eher fraglich.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Economy & labour
Introduce a national minimum wage of CHF 4,000
Are you in favor of introducing a minimum wage of CHF 4,000 for all full-time employees?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Ein fixer Betrag ist falsch. Ziel muss sein, dass mit einer Vollzeitstelle der Lebensunterhalt gewährleistet ist. Welcher Betrag in welcher Situation da erforderlich ist kann nicht mir EINER Zahl korrekt abgebildet werden.
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
Allgemeine Vorgaben sind nicht Zielführend. Wesentlich ist, dass der Finanzsektor sich an den Tugenden der Schweiz orientiert und nicht die Geschäfte primär in der Grauzone abwickelt, auch wenn das wahrscheinlich lukrativer ist.
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
Nicht nur das. Erzeugt man selber Strom (PVA, Windkraft, Wärme-Kraft-Koppelung) sollte auch die Rücklieferung an einen Stromanbieter der Wahl erfolgen können oder auch direkt an den einen Abnehmer abgegeben werden können.
Make housing construction regulations more flexible
Should housing construction regulations be relaxed (e.g., noise protection, occupancy rates)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Insbesondere sollten die Bestimmungen einfacher werden, mit weniger Ausnahmeregelungen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Da ist sicher Zurückhaltung angesagt.
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
Bekommt man dann überhaupt noch neue PWs mit Verbrennungsmotoren?
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Make the rules for renewable energy less strict
Do you think it's fair that environmental and landscape protection rules are being relaxed to allow for the development of renewable energy?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Das ganze mit gesundem Menschenverstand. zB temporäre Waldrodungen für ein Windrad, die man jederzeit wieder Rückgängig machen kann sind iO. Restwassermengen sind genau zu überlegen.
Authorize the construction of new nuclear power plants
Should the construction of new nuclear power plants in Switzerland be allowed again?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Wie das genau funktionieren soll, wird aus der Fragestellung nicht klar. Wesentlich ist: Sparen soll sich lohnen.
Nature conservation
Making provisions for the protection of large predators more flexible
Are you in favor of further relaxing the protection regulations for large predators (lynx, wolf, bear)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Diese Tiere leben da wo sie Nahrung finden.
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Die ganze Administration für die Landwirte überbordet aktuell. Hier müssen dringend einfachere Regelungen gefunden werden.
Introduction of stricter rules on the protection of farm animals
Are you in favour of stricter animal welfare regulations for livestock (e.g. permanent access to outdoor areas)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Die Regelungen sollen dem Tierwohl dienen.
National territory available for biodiversity conservation
Should 30% of Switzerland's land area be dedicated to preserving biodiversity? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Die Zahl 30% alleine ist ein schwaches Kriterium. Wesentlich ist was man unter Biodiversitäts-Förderfläche versteht. Da gibt es sehr grosse Unterschiede.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
More sustainable use of electronic devices
Are you in favour of government measures to make the use of electronic devices more sustainable (e.g., right to repair, extension of warranty period, minimum guaranteed period for software updates)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Auch hier ist gesunder Menschenverstand gefragt.
Democracy, Media & Digitization
Mobile phone network (5G)
Should the Swiss mobile network be equipped throughout the country with the latest technology (currently 5G standard)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Das ist nicht Sache des Staates. Man hat hier die freie Marktwirtschaft gewählt, somit müssen die Anbieter festlegen welche Technologie wo verbaut wird.
Digitizing public services
Should the federal government be given additional powers in the area of digitization of government services in order to be able to impose binding directives and standards on the cantons?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Der Weg führt über die Definition von einheitlichen Schnittstellen. Der Datenaustausch zwischen den Systemen muss technisch gewährleistet werden.
Strengthening regulation of big internet platforms
Are you in favor of stronger regulation of the major Internet platforms (i.e., transparency rules on algorithms, increased liability for content, combating disinformation)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Lowering TV and radio license fees
A popular initiative aims to reduce television and radio fees (CHF 200 per household, exemption for businesses). Do you support this initiative?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Wir müssen dafür sorgen, dass irgendwo noch etwas Schweiz drin ist.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Es macht Sinn, dass Volljährigkeit mit Steuerpflicht und auch Stimmberechtigung gekoppelt ist. Mitwirkung für jüngere Generationen kann auch anders gelebt werden.
Introducing an optional financial referendum against federal spending
Should it be possible to hold a referendum on federal spending above a certain amount (optional financial referendum)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|

Should the Federal Council be allowed to authorize other states to re-export Swiss weapons in cases of a war of aggression in violation of international law (e.g., the attack on Ukraine)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Scumonda da visar automaticamain la fatscha en locals publics
Should automatic facial recognition be banned in public spaces?

|---|---|---|---|
Foreign trade & foreign policy

|---|---|---|---|
Return to a strict interpretation of neutrality

Comment
Eine Koppelung an die Lebenserwartung, wie das die Initiative der Jungfreisinnigen vorsieht, ist zweckdienlich und anzustreben.
