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
Financed by a unified health insurance system based on solidarity with income and wealth-related premiums without subsidizing rich private patients!
Finanziert durch eine solidarische Einheitskrankenkasse mit einkommens- und vermögensabhängigen Prämien ohne Subventionierung reicher Privatpatient:innen!
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
No, because the wealth we generate through hard and honest work can be used to finance a more generous pension.
Nein, denn mit dem Reichtum, den wir durch harte und ehrliche Arbeit erwirtschaften, lässt sich eine grosszügigere Rente finanzieren.
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
Giving children the gift of time is the most valuable and sustainable investment that is economically possible. And yes, it is very much fundable!
Kindern Zeit zu schenken ist die wertvollste und nachhaltigste Investition, die wirtschaftlich möglich ist. Und ja, das ist sehr wohl finanzierbar!
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
Yes, and that is not enough by far: Ownership of land must be put under democratic control, because a single person cannot own what all people need to live. This is already dealt with long and broadly in the oldest writings of the Bible. For example in Dtn 10, or as David sang "To Adonaj belongs the earth and its fullness, the world and those who inhabit it..." (Ps 24)
Ja, und das reicht bei weitem nicht: Eigentum an Grund und Boden gehört unter demokratische Kontrolle gestellt, denn ein einzelner Mensch kann nicht besitzen, was alle Menschen zum Leben benötigen. Dies wird bereits in den ältesten Schriften der Bibel lang und breit abgehandelt. Zum Beispiel in Dtn 10. Oder wie David sang "Adonaj gehört die Erde und ihre Fülle, die Welt und die, die sie bewohnen..." (Ps 24)
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
Education seems to me to be more effective than coercion.
Aufklärung scheint mir hier zielführender als Zwang.
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
While excess sugar is very common, highly unhealthy and therefore costly, an additional tax is the wrong way to combat this.
Ein Übermass an Zucker ist zwar sehr verbreitet, höchst ungesund und damit auch nicht zuletzt mit Kosten verbunden, doch ist eine zusätzliche Steuer der falsche Weg, dies zu bekämpfen.
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
On the contrary, the deductible is to be abolished altogether. Many people are already foregoing medical treatment because of this. No, people who are sick have a right to medical care. We could hardly spend the added value we generate more wisely.
Im Gegenteil: Die Franchise soll ganz abgeschaft werden. Bereits jetzt verzichen zahlreiche Menschen deswegen auf ärztliche Behandlung. Nein, wer krank ist hat ein Recht auf medizinische Versorgung. Den von uns erwirtschafteten Mehrwert können wir kaum sinnvoller ausgeben.
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 Federal Council is merely the executive (the "executive power") and should be limited to that. Serious measures must be broadly supported and therefore imposed by the sovereign, respectively by its directly elected representatives in the legislature, the "law-making power".
Der Bundesrat ist lediglich die Exekutive (die "ausführende Gewalt") und sollte auch darauf begrenzt werden. Schwerwiegende Massnahmen müssen breit abgestützt und deshalb vom Souverän verhängt werden, respektive von seinen direkt gewählten Vertretungen in der Legislative, der "Gesetz gebenden Gewalt".
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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, but the way things are often done at present is a disaster. The integration of impaired people must also be supported financially, otherwise it is counterproductive. What is needed is an increase in the number of jobs for personnel trained in remedial education.
Ja, aber so wie es zur Zeit oft geschieht, ist es eine Katastrophe. Die Integration beeinträchtigter Menschen muss auch finanziell entsprechend unterstützt werden, ansonsten ist es kontraproduktiv. Notwendig dafür ist die Erhöhung von Stellenprozenten für heilpädagogisch geschultes Personal.
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
Do you know the local high school graduation rate in your area? It is probably lower than you think. Theoretically, it is fine if fewer students attend the Gymnasium, provided that the quality of education, especially general education, at the Realschule, Sekundarschule, Berufsschule and Berufsmaturitätsschule would be increased as well, let alone allow for a real equality of opportunity. However, the lowering of the baccalaureate rate has been pursued here exclusively as a reduction of education.
Kennen Sie die lokale Maturitätsquote in ihrer Umgebung? Sie dürfte niedriger sein, als sie denken. Theoretisch ist es in Ordnung, wenn weniger Schüler:innen das Gymnasium besuchen, SOFERN die Qualität des Unterrichts, insbesondere der Allgemeinbildung, an den Real-, Sekundar-, Berufs- und Berufsmaturitätsschulen ebenso erhöht würde, geschweige denn eine echte Chancengleichheit ermöglicht würde. Die Senkung der Maturitätsquote wird hierzulange jedoch ausschliesslich als Bildungsabbau betrieben.
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
Switzerland has stable social mobilities. This means that it is difficult for a person from an educationally disadvantaged home to move up the ladder, and it is equally unlikely that a person from a privileged family will at some point no longer be privileged. Strengthening equal opportunities ensures that performance counts more than origin.
Die Schweiz hat eine stabile soziale Mobilitäten. Das heisst, für eine Person aus einem bildungsfernen Elternhaus ist es schwierig, den Aufstieg zu schaffen, und ebenso unwahrscheinlich ist es, dass eine Person aus einer privilegierten Familie irgendwann mal nicht mehr privilegiert sein sollte. Eine Stärkung der Chancengleichheit sorgt dafür, dass Leistung mehr zählt als Herkunft.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The ban is far too expensive and counterproductive. Instead, investments should be made in education.
Das Verbot ist viel zu teuer und kontraproduktiv. Stattdessen soll in Aufklärung investiert werden.
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
Above all, the (included) option to waive the gender entry is important.
Vor allem die (mitgemeinte) Möglichkeit, auf den Geschlechtseintrag zu verzichten, ist wichtig.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
However, greater tax relief for wage earners (at the expense of the super-rich) is clearly to be welcomed.
Eine stärkere steuerliche Entlastung der Lohnabhängigen (auf Kosten der Superreichen) ist jedoch klar zu begrüssen.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Rich people like to rant about the "marriage penalty." Hardly anyone talks about a "marriage reward" that benefits poorer couples.
Reiche Leute schimpfen gerne über die "Heiratsstrafe". Kaum jemand spricht von einer "Heiratsbelohnung", von der ärmere Paare profitieren.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Yes to intercantonal solidarity!
Ja zur interkantonalen Solidarität!
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Of course, that depends on the specific regulations. What is necessary is that the financial sector be placed under democratic control.
Das hängst selbstverständlich von den konkreten Regelungen ab. Notwendig ist, dass der Finanzsektor unter demokratische Kontrolle gestellt wird.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
It is not the strictness of the "control" that is too lax, but the insufficiently severe "consequence" for non-compliance, especially for large companies. The administrative burden on smaller companies should be kept as low as possible.
Nicht die Strenge der "Kontrolle" ist zu lasch, sondern die zuwenig schwere "Konsequenz" bei Nicht-Einhaltung, vor allen für Grossunternehmen. Der administrative Aufwand kleinerer Firmen ist möglichst klein zu halten.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
It is good that cars will be driven without combustion engines in the future. But it doesn't seem necessary to me that Switzerland also enacts a ban.
Zwar ist es gut, dass zukünftig Autos ohne Verbrennungsmotoren gefahren werden. Dazu scheint es mir aber nicht notwendig, dass die Schweiz auch noch ein Verbot erlässt.
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
Climate neutrality is to be achieved in the most efficient way.
Die Klimaneutralität soll auf effizienteste Weise erreicht werden.
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
In principle, yes. Of course, it depends on the specific regulations in question.
Grundsätzlich Ja. Selbstverständlich kommt es darauf an, um welche Vorschriften es jeweils konkret geht.
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
A very cautious yes with emphasis on a basic 'may', IF a solution for the nuclear waste problem would be found. I find it problematic that the topic has been emotionally and propagandistically overloaded by both sides for years, so that hardly any factual discussions take place.
Ein sehr vorsichtiges Ja mit Betonung auf ein grundsätzliches 'Dürfen', SOFERN eine Lösung für das Atommüllproblem gefunden würde. Problematisch finde ich, dass das Thema seit Jahren von beiden Seiten emotional und propagandistisch überladen wird, so dass kaum noch sachliche Diskussionen stattfinden.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
No, but shooting down wolves that have not yet attracted negative attention is going too far for me.
Nein, aber Wölfe abzuschiessen, die noch nicht negativ aufgefallen sind, geht mir zu weit.
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
If the import of less organic products is not regulated more strongly at the same time, we will only damage domestic agriculture. Incentives in this direction would be welcome, however.
Wenn nicht gleichzeitig die Einfuhr von weniger ökologischen Produkten stärker reguliert wird, schädigen wir damit lediglich die einheimische Landwirtschaft. Anreize in diese Richtung wären indes zu begrüssen.
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
I support stronger incentives for this, but not stricter rules at the expense of farmers.
Ich befürworte stärkere Anreize dafür, aber nicht strengere Regeln auf Kosten der Bäuer:innen.
National territory available for biodiversity conservation
Should 30% of Switzerland's land area be dedicated to preserving biodiversity? [BePart question]

Ban on single-use plastics

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
This question is wrongly posed. It should be supplemented with "... without paying attention to the lowest possible health burden." That's why I say "no", because health comes before profit.
Diese Frage ist falsch gestellt. Sie müsste ergänzt werden mit "... ohne auf eine möglichst tiefe gesundheitliche Belastung zu achten." Deshalb sage ich "nein", denn Gesundheit geht vor Profit.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The fact that the platforms also propagate anti-human content for commercial purposes (as shown, for example, by Laut gegen Nazis) cannot be tolerated. But it doesn't help to simply give the state greater regulatory power if we don't democratize the state more at the same time. Regulation is good when it is democratically controlled.
Dass die Plattformen aus kommerziellen Zwecken auch menschenfeindliche Inhalte propagieren (wie bspw. Laut gegen Nazis gezeigt hat), kann nicht toleriert werden. Es hilft aber nicht, einfach dem Staat stärkere Regulierungsmacht zu geben, wenn wir den Staat nicht gleichzeitig stärker demokratisieren. Regulierung ist dann gut, wenn sie demokratisch kontrolliert geschieht.
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
The average household pays too high fees, while the rich and large companies pay too little: A company with 1 million in sales still paid 910.-- francs by 2020. Since 2021 only 235.-- francs. So significantly less than you and I have to pay.... (Source: https://www.estv.admin.ch/estv/de/home/bundesabgaben/abgabe-radio-tv/uartv-tarifkategorien.html)
Der durchschnittliche Haushalt bezahlt zu hohe Gebühren, während Reiche und Grossbetriebe zu wenig bezahlen: Eine Firma mit 1 Mio Umsatz zahlte bis im Jahr 2020 noch 910.-- Franken.

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
This question implies as if there is a universally recognized institution that officially determines when a war is illegal under international law and when it is not. This is not the case. In most cases, both sides claim international law as their own. After all, it is state-financed lawyers and financially dependent NGOs who interpret this question for the benefit of their own wallets.
Diese Frage impliziert, als ob es eine allgemein anerkannte Institution gäbe, die offiziell bestimmt, wann ein Krieg völkerrechtswidrig ist und und wann nicht. Das ist nicht der Fall. Meistens beanspruchen beide Seiten das Völkerrecht für sich. Schliesslich sind es jeweils staatlich finanzierte Juristen und finanziell abhängige NGO's, die diese Frage zugunsten ihres eigenen Portemonnais interpretieren.

Foreign trade & foreign policy
Seek closer relations with the EU
Are you in favor of closer relations with the European Union (EU)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The basic idea behind the EU is laudable. However, due to the lack of democratization, it is unfortunately a pawn of finance capital.
Die Grundidee hinter der EU ist lobenswert. Aufgrund der mangelnden Demokratisierung ist sie jedoch leider ein Spielball des Finanzkapitals.
Seek a comprehensive free trade agreement with the United States
Should Switzerland strive for a comprehensive free trade agreement (including agriculture) with the USA?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

These agreements contain clauses that curtail the self-determination of the Swiss people. It is sad that our media do not educate about this.

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?

What Swiss companies use abroad for violence against people and nature is a catastrophe.
Was Schweizer Konzerne im Ausland für Gewalt anwenden gegen Mensch und Natur ist eine katastrophe.
Terminate bilateral agreements with the EU
Should Switzerland terminate the Bilateral Agreements with the EU and seek a free trade agreement without the free movement of persons?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Unfortunately, "free movement of persons" often means "free exploitation". It is true that the accompanying measures have also had a positive effect on the situation of wage earners, but the primary function of this system is to turn people into a "maneuvering mass" in order to be able to depress wages. No, only international solidarity among the workers themselves can strengthen us. We cannot leave this to the state.
Mit "Personenfreizügigkeit" wird leider oft "freie Ausbeutung» gemeint. Zwar haben sich die flankierenden Massnahmen auch positiv auf die Situation der Lohnabhängigen ausgewirkt, doch primär besteht die Funktion dieses Systems darin, aus Menschen eine "Manövriermasse" zu machen, um die Löhne drücken zu können. Nein, einzig die internationale Solidarität unter den Arbeiter:innen selber können uns stärken. Wir können das nicht dem Staat überlassen.

"Free market" sounds good in principle. But what is meant here is "free exploitation". Market mechanisms can only serve to liberate the worker if they are subject to democratic control and planning.
"Freier Markt" klingt grundsätzlich gut. Doch hier damit gemeint ist "freie Ausbeutung". Die Marktmechanismen können nur dann zur Befreiung der Arbeiterin dienen, wenn sie demokratischer Kontrolle und Planung unterliegen.

No, also because it is easy to finance this: We can use the added value generated by labor for this purpose instead of distributing it to shareholders via dividends.
Nein, auch weil es ein Leichtes ist, dies zu finanzieren: Wir können den durch die Arbeit erzeugten Mehrwert dafür einsetzen, anstatt ihn über Dividenden den Aktionären auszuschütten.
