Rather than raising the bar, we'd do better to think about how schools can prepare young people to face the challenges of the 21st century, i.e. raising awareness of citizenship, ecological issues and cooperation rather than competition.

Switzerland is one of the most restrictive countries in the world when it comes to naturalization, despite the fact that foreigners live and work in this country, look after our elders and children and perform many indispensable tasks. We urgently need to recognize them!

Reduce taxes at the federal level

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Only if tax cuts are targeted at low-income earners and the middle classes. This is generally not the case with tax cuts, which benefit the highest incomes. It's illogical to cut taxes for the most affluent in order to ask the least affluent to work harder in arduous jobs.
Seulement si les baisses d'impôt sont ciblées sur les bas revenus et les classes moyennes. Ce n'est généralement pas le cas des baisses d'impôts, qui profitent aux plus hauts revenus. Baisser les impôts des plus confortables pour demander aux moins confortables de travailler plus dans des métiers pénibles, c'est illogique

Comment
It is imperative that the Confederation provides the means for farmers to ensure that this change does not work against them. We need to rethink the agricultural model to ensure access to land for all, and recognition of diverse farming practices. This requires an observatory of Coop & Migros margins, and demands that Coop & Migros stop making margins on agricultural products, at the expense of consumers and farmers.
Il est impératif que le Confédération mette les moyens pour les agriculteurs afin que ce changement ne se fasse pas contre eux. Nous devons repenser le modèle agricole pour un accès à la terre pour toutes et une reconnaissance des pratiques agricoles variées. Cela ne va pas sans un observatoire des marges de Coop & Migros et d'exiger que Coop & Migros cessent de se faire des marges sur les produits agricoles, aux dépens des consommateurs et paysann-es.

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
It's an attack on freedom of expression and information as a public service not based on commercial logic. You only have to look at how the French news service is contaminated by these logics, which prevent some people from expressing themselves freely if their comments go against the wishes of private financiers.
C'est une atteinte à la liberté d'expression et à l'information comme un service public qui ne soit pas basé sur les logiques marchandes. Il n'y a qu'à voir comme le service de l'information français est contaminé par ces logiques qui empêchent certains de s'exprimer librement si leurs propos vont à l'encontre des financeurs privés.

"There's money in the bosses' coffers" - this slogan, sung at the 2023 feminist strike, reminds me how unfair it is for workers to increase their pensions, when we have enough wealth.
"De l'argent, il y en a, dans les caisses du patronat" - ce slogan chanté à la grève féministe 2023 me rappelle à quel point l'augmentation de la retraite est une mesure injuste pour les travailleuses et travailleurs, alors que nous avons suffisamment de richesses.
