Health insurance premiums
Should the federal government allocate more funding for health insurance premium subsidies?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In my view, we need to scrap the LAMal and reinvent a completely different healthcare system. I'm not against state control. The pseudo-competition, or rather cartel, of health insurers has gone on long enough.
Pour moi, il faut supprimer la LAMal et réinventer un tout autre système de santé. Je ne suis pas contre étatiser celui-ci. La pseudo-concurrence, ou plutôt le cartel, des assureurs-maladie a assez duré.
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?

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I'm in favor of parental leave to be shared freely between mother and father. A hundred days or so to be shared seems ideal to me.
Je suis pour un congé parental à librement partager entre la mère et le père. Une centaine de jours à partager me semble l'idéal.

Should the federal government provide more financial support for public housing construction? [BePart question]

It's purely a question of education, and the state has no business getting involved.
C'est uniquement une question d'éducation et l'Etat n'a pas à s'en mêler.

Make naturalization requirements more flexible
Should the conditions for naturalization be relaxed (e.g., shorter residence period)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
On the contrary, we need to tighten up the conditions for naturalization. It's not right that some communes, like Lausanne for example, should give passports to just anyone, regardless of whether the person is integrated or not.
Il faut au contraire durcir les conditions de naturalisation. Il n'est pas normal que des communes, comme par exemple Lausanne, donnent les passeports à n'importe qui, peu importe si la personne est intégrée ou non.

Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

I'm in favor of regulating cannabis, but not for total liberalization. Nevertheless, this end of prohibition must be done in collaboration with medicine.
Je suis pour une règlementation du cannabis mais pas pour une libéralisation totale. Néanmoins, cette fin d'interdiction doit être fait en collaboration avec la médecine.

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
However, we must respect the decisions of sovereign cantons which have introduced cantonal minimum wages by popular vote (e.g. Neuchâtel and Geneva).
Cependant, il faut respecter les décisions des cantons souverains qui ont introduit des salaires minimaux cantonaux par la voie du peuple (exemple; à Neuchâtel et à Genève).

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
Salaries should be settled between employees and their employers. The state has no business getting involved. It's perfectly normal for there to be differences in salaries, depending on the productivity of each individual worker, as well as on the salary claims made during job interviews. Perfect wage equality is not fair. Each company is free to pay its employees according to merit, without government intervention, and each individual is free to refuse a salary deemed discriminatory.
La question des salaires doit se régler entre les collaborateurs et leur employeur. L'Etat n'a pas à s'en mêler. Il est parfaitement normal qu'il y ait des différences salariales liées à la productivité de chaque travailleur ainsi qu'aux prétentions de rémunération lors des entretiens d'embauche. L'égalité parfaite de salaires n'est pas équitable. Libre à chaque entreprise de payer ses salariés au mérite, sans que l'Etat intervienne, et libre à chacun de refuser un salaire jugé discriminant.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

One traffic jam a day is one too many. Stop this useless pollution and unbearable waste of time.

|---|---|---|---|
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
Yes, because the ban was drawn up in a very dishonest way (buried in the 2050 strategy) and we urgently need to find solutions for producing electricity in a climate-friendly way.
Oui car l'interdiction a été établie de manière très malhonnête (noyée dans la stratégie 2050) et il est urgent de trouver des solutions pour produire de l'électricité, tout en respectant le climat.

Comment
It's obvious that if people are less and less educated, it's because more and more children are in nurseries. It's essential for children to be educated by their own parents. But this must be compensated for by additional family allowances.
C'est une évidence que si les personnes sont de moins en moins éduquées, cela vient du fait que les enfants sont de plus en plus à la crèche. Il est indispensable que les enfants soient éduqués par leurs propres parents. Mais cela doit être compensé par des allocations familiales supplémentaires.

Comment
The retirement age should be set according to the arduousness of the work. For example (approximately) ; - police/firefighters = 60 - construction/road workers = 62 - butchers/bakers = 65 - sales workers = 67 - civil servants or office workers = 70 years. The life expectancy of each profession should also be taken into account when defining the retirement age. Each person would need at least 15 years of retirement.
L'âge de la retraite devrait être établi en fonction de la pénibilité du travail. Par exemple (approximativement) ; - policiers / pompiers = 60 ans - ouvriers du bâtiment / de la route = 62 ans - bouchers / boulangers = 65 ans - métiers de la vente = 67 ans - fonctionnaires ou personnes travaillant dans les bureaux = 70 ans. L'espérance de vie de chaque profession devrait également être pris en compte pour définir l'âge de la retraite. Il faudrait au moins 15 ans de retraite par personnes.
