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
In fact, outpatient and inpatient services should finally be financed uniformly (efas). The cantons should co-finance the outpatient services; the health insurance companies are thus relieved, which should be reflected in lower premiums and relieve the health insurance companies of premiums and premium payers.
Viel mehr sollen die ambulanten und stationären Leistung endlich einheitlich finanziert werden (efas). Dabei sollen die Kantone die ambulanten Leistungen mitfinanzieren; die Krankenkassen werden damit entlastet, was sich in tieferen Prämien wiederspiegeln sollte und die Krankenkassen Prämien bzw Prämienzahler entlastet.
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
As long as contribution privileges exist for married couples, rather no. The question is very complex and must be examined in detail.
Solange Beitragsprivilegien bei Ehpaaren bestehen eher nein. Die Frage ist sehr komplex und muss im Detail genau angeschaut werden.
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
Sustainable financing is needed to secure pensions in the long term. A reduction is necessary to stop the intended redistribution. With the BVG, the 2nd pillar, every person saves for himself.
Um Renten langfristig zu sichern braucht es eine nachhaltige Finanzierung. Eine Senkung ist notwendig, um die vorgesehnen Umverteilung zu stoppen. Beim BVG, der 2. Säule spart jede Person für sich selber.
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
The loss of earnings is paid by the employers. This means that the social partners, i.e. employers and employees, would have to negotiate any increase in benefits in advance.
Die Erwerbsausfälle bezahlen die Arbeitgeber. Somit müssten die Sozialpartner, dh. Arbeitgeber und Arbeitnehmereinem einen allfälligen Leistungsausbau im Vorfeld verhandeln
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
Non-profit housing construction is to be promoted. However, this is a task for the municipalities.
Gemeinnütziger Wohnungsbau ist zu fördern. Dies ist jedoch eine Aufgabe der Gemeinden.
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
Vaccination should remain a recommendation according to the vaccination plan. Good / factual information is necessary so that parents can act responsibly.
Impfen soll weiterhin gemäss Impfplan eine Empfehlung bleiben. Dabei ist eine gute / sachliche Information nötig, damit Eltern in Verantwortung handeln können.
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
Self-responsibility is to be respected here as well. However, it is necessary to educate people about the dangers and to impart appropriate knowledge.
Selbstverantwortung ist auch hier zu respektieren. Jedoch ist eine Aufklärung der Menschen über Gefahren und entsprechenden Wissensvermittlung nötig.
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
The various gradations of the deductible already exist today. Instead, the benefits should be reconsidered, especially for supplementary insurance.
Die verschiedenen Abstufungen der Franchise gibt es heute schon. Vielmehr sollten die Leistungen insbesondere bei der Zusatzversicherung überdacht werden.
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
The role of parliament is to be strengthened. In exceptional emergencies, however, the Federal Council has the possibility to apply emergency law.
Die Rolle des Parlaments soll gestärkt werden. In auserordentlichen Notlagen jedoch hat der Bundesrat die Möglichkeit Notrecht anzuwenden.
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
The cantons should assume their responsibility, the hospitals should cooperate supra-regionally (i.e. beyond the cantonal borders) in order to provide high quality.
Die Kantone sollen Ihre Verantwortung übernehmen, die Spitäler überregional (dh. über die Kantonsgrenzen hinweg) zusammenarbeiten um hohe Qualität zu erbringen.
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
The concept sounds good but has its limits. The heterogeneity in the classes is increasing. Teachers are extremely challenged, reach their limits and often cannot meet the needs of the children.
Das Konzept tönt gut aber stösst an Grenzen. Die Heterogenität in den Klassen nimmt zu. Lehrpersonen sind äusserst gefordert, stossen an Grenzen und können den Bedürfnissen der Kinder oft nicht gerecht 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
Gifted children should be encouraged and challenged via the gymnasium route. The Swiss school system is characterized by the dual path and the great permeability and also makes it possible to study on the second educational path. The dual path via vocational training and universities of applied sciences is successful.
Begabte Kinder sollen über den gymnasialen Weg gefördert und gefordert werden. Das Schweizerische Schulsystem zeichnet sich durch den dualen Weg und die grosse Durchlässigkeit aus und ermöglicht auch auf dem zweiten Bildungsweg ein Studium. Der duale Weg über Berufslehre und Fachhochschulen ist erfolgreich .
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
Education creates equal opportunities and prospects
Bildung schafft Chancengerechtigkeit und Perspektiven
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
Integration requirements should be maintained and integration takes time. Naturalization presupposes integration and is its completion.
Integrationsanforderungen sollen erhalten bleiben und Integration braucht Zeit. Einbürgerung setzt Integration voraus und ist deren Abschluss.
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
The quotas have never been exhausted in recent years, which is why there is no need for an increase despite the shortage of skilled workers.
Die Kontingente wurden in den letzten Jahren nie ausgeschöpft, weshalb es trotz Fachkräftemangel keine Erhöhung braucht.
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
In principle, asylum procedures should be carried out in Switzerland. The EU's efforts to introduce simplified procedures for people from safe third countries at the Schengen external border are to be welcomed.
Grundsätzlich sollen Asylvefahren in der Schweiz durchgeführt werden. Die Bestrebungen der EU, an der Schengen Aussengrenze vereinfachte Verfahren für Menschen aus sicheren Drittstaaten einführen zu wollen sind zu begrüssen.
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
There should be no automatism. Voting and election rights go hand in hand with naturalization.
Es soll kein Automatismus geben. Stimm- und Wahlrecht geht einher mit der Einbürgerung.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Unintended long-term effects are scientifically undeniable. Adolescents are still encouraged to take "hard drugs". The addiction potential is high and addiction prevention would have to be massively improved. Germany is spelling back legalization efforts; restrictive regulations are in place.
Ungewollte Langzeitauswirkungen sind wissenschaftlich nicht dementiert. Jugendliche sind nach wie vor gefärdert für denEinstieg in "harte Drogen". Das Suchtpotentioal ist hoch und die Suchtprävention müsste massiv verbessert werden. Deutschland buchstabirt Legalisierungsbestrebungen zurück; es liegen restriktive Bestimmungen vor.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The gender "female" and "male" should no longer play a role
Das Gechlecht "weiblich" und "männlich" sollte keine Rolle mehr spielen
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
In social and legal matters yes, not in the area of reproduction (surrogacy).
In gesellschaftlichen und rechtlichen Belangen ja, nicht im Bereich der Fortpflanzung (Leihmutterschaft)
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Income and assets have already been taxed and should not be taxed a second time.
Einkommen und Vermögen wurde bereits besteuert und sollen nicht ein zweites mal besteuert werden.
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 |

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
Wages and working conditions are regulated between employee and employer (social partnership)
Löhne und Arbeitsbedingungen werden zwischen Arbeitnehmer und Arbeitgeber (Sozialpartnerschaft) geregelt
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
Existing regulation must be reviewed for effectiveness and adjusted if necessary.
Bestehende Regulierung muss auf die Wirksamkeit überprüft und allenfalls angepasst werden.
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
Efficient infrastructures are core tasks of the state

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
Switching yes, banning no. Charging infrastructure still lacking in remote regions and mountain valleys
Umsteigen ja, Verbieten nein. Noch fehlt in abgelegenen Regionen und Bergtälern die Ladeinfrastruktur
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
Incentives work better than bans and are more sustainable
Anreize funktionieren besser als Verbote und sind nachhaltiger
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Even if nuclear power plants were safe, the problem of waste is far from being solved. We must succeed in expanding electricity in other ways (hydropower and renewable energies).
Selbst wenn Atomkraftwerke sicher wären, ist das Abfallproblem bei weitem nicht gelöst.Der Stromausbau muss uns auf anderen Wegen gelingen( Wasserkraft und erneuerbare Energien)
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
what does comprehensive mean? The public service offering should also meet demand in rural regions
was heisst umfassend? Auch in ländlichen Regionen soll das Service Public Angebot den Bedarf decken
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
Incentives to consume less electricity - especially in the private sector - are better.
Besser sind Anreize, weniger Strom zu verbrauchen- insbesondere im Privaten
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The requirements for direct payments are high today. Tightening them would reduce the degree of self-sufficiency. I consider the system of direct payments to be problematic. It would be better to have compensation for the products produced.
Die Anforderungen für Direktzahlungen sind heute hoch. Eine Verschärfung würden den Selbstversorgungsgrad senken. Das System der Direktzahlungen erachte ich als problematisch. Besser wäre eine Abgeltung für die produzierten Produkte.
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
The standards in Switzerland are already very high today

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
Measured against the total area of Switzerland (including mountain and alpine areas), we have a large area that is not used for agriculture and or built on as residential land . A further restriction encourages production agriculture and the degree of self-sufficiency.
Gemessen an der Gesamtfläche der Schweiz (inkl. Berg- und Alpengebiete) haben wir eine grosse Fläche, die nicht landwirtschaftlich genutzt und oder als Wohnfläche bebaut ist . Eine weitere Einschränkung gefärdert die produzierende Landwirtschaft und den Grad der Selbstversorgung
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Radical bans are the wrong way to go. Here, too, it is a matter of education and knowledge transfer
radikale Verbote sind der falsche Weg. Auch hier geht es um Aufklärung und Wissensvermittlung
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

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 |

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?

Comment
The current arrangement is unsatisfactory (double payment for business and private household).
Die heutige Regelung ist unbefriediegend (doppelte Zahlung für Betrieb und Privathauhalt).
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Participation opportunities for young people are available today. I am of the opinion that reaching maturity should be the yardstick for the voting age.
Partizipationsmöglichkeiten für Jugendliche sind heute vorhanden. Ich bin der Ansicht, dass Erreichen der Mündigkeit der Massstab für das Stimmrechtsalter sein soll.
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 |

Comment
with the spending and debt brake, the federal government already has effective instruments to control spending.

Increasing the size of the army to at least 120,000 soldiers
Are you in favor of expanding the army's target number of soldiers to at least 120,000?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In order for the Armed Forces to fulfill their constitutional mandate, the Armed Forces budget must be increased to 7 billion Swiss francs and the target number of troops to 120,000.
Damit die Armee ihren Verfassungsauftrag erfüllen kann, muss das Armeebudget auf 7 Milliarden Franken und der Sollbestand auf 120'000 Angehörige der Armee erhöht werden.
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
Stronger cooperation is important for Switzerland's security. NATO membership, on the other hand, should be clearly rejected.
Eine stärkere Zusammenarbeit ist für die Sicherheit der Schweiz wichtig. Ein NATO-Beitritt ist hingegen klar abzulehnen.
Re-export of Swiss weapons
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Switzerland should not block re-exports to Western democracies as long as they have an export control system comparable to ours. This would require a change in the system as proposed by the FDP.
Die Schweiz soll den Reexport an westliche Demokratien nicht blockieren, solange diese über ein Exportkontrollsystem verfügen, das mit unserem vergleichbar ist. Dies bräuchte eine Systemänderung wie sie die FDP vorgeschlagen hat

Denounce the Schengen Agreement and strengthen border controls
Should Switzerland terminate the Schengen agreement with the EU and reintroduce more security checks directly on the border? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Should Switzerland strive for a comprehensive free trade agreement (including agriculture) with the USA?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Free trade agreements are important! Of course, it is always necessary to assess the concrete outcome of negotiations (exceptions for sensitive products and in agricultural policy).
Freihandelsabkommen sind wichtig! Selbstverständlich gilt es immer das konkrete Verhandlungsergebnis zu beurteilen (Ausnahmen für sensible Produkte und in der Agrarpolitik).
Comply with social and environmental standards
Should Swiss companies be obliged to ensure that their subsidiaries and suppliers operating abroad comply with social and environmental standards?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This is far too extreme. A small nursery that imports flowers has limited control over suppliers abroad.
Das ist viel zu extrem. Eine kleine Gärtnerei, die Blumen importiert, kann die Zulieferer im Ausland nur begrenzt kontrollieren.

Comment
The state should finance certain services (national defense, infrastructure, schools, etc.) that benefit everyone. The social security systems to support low-income people (e.g. supplementary benefits, social assistance, etc.) should also be financed, threshold effects avoided as far as possible and adjusted where necessary. There is no need for further redistribution.
Der Staat soll gewisse Leistungen (Landesverteidigung, Infrastruktur, Schulen etc.) finanzieren, die allen zugutekommen. Auch die Systeme der Sozialversicherungnen zur Unterstützung Einkommensschwacher Menschen( zB. Ergänzngsleitsung, Sozialhilfe, etc.) sollen finanziert werden, Schwelleneffekten möglichst vermieden und wo nötig angepasst werden. Eine weitere Umverteilung braucht es nicht.

Social protection: spend more/less
Should the federal government spend more or less in the area of "Social services"?
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In principle, there should be no more redistribution or spending; however, the number of low-income people in Switzerland who can no longer make ends meet due to inflation (e.g. working poor, older pensioners with little or no pension fund, etc.) is increasing, which leads to additional costs (mostly for municipalities/cantons).
Grundsätzlich soll nicht mehr umverteilt oder ausgegeben werden; jedoch steigt in der Schweiz die Zahl der Einkommensschwachen, die aufgrund der Teuerung nicht mehr über die Runden kommen (zB. working poor, ältere Rentner ohne oder mit wenig Pensionskasse, ) was zu Mehrkosten (mehrheitlich Gemeinden /Kantone) führt

Education is our most valuable asset and achieves a high return of investment. At the same time, more efficiency and effectiveness must be ensured; bureaucracy also requires enormous resources (manpower) and generates costs without real added value.

Comment
There is a need for further flexibility (e.g. working life). Due to the aging society, the AHV will lack sufficient funds in the coming years to provide pensions as before. A reduction in benefits or a VAT increase would be a worse solution than a moderate and/or graduated increase in the retirement age or an adjustment to the working life.
Es braucht eine weitere Flexibilisierung (zB Lebensarbeitszeit). Aufgrund der alternden Gesellschaft fehlen der AHV in den kommenden Jahren genügend Mittel, Renten wie bisher zu erbringen. Ein Leistungsabbau oder eine MWST Erhöhung wären eine schlechtere Lösung, als eine moderate und /oder abgestufte Erhöhung des Rentenalters oder eine Anpassung an die Lebensarbeitszeit.
