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
The state should get a grip on the cost side. But the tangled interests that cut across all parties are far too great. Therefore, a construction site where the established parties for years have no real solution, otherwise the issue would be solved for years. The demographic development of the population has a negative impact on the entire system.
Der Staat soll die Kostenseite in den Griff bekommen. Doch sind die verstickten Interessen die Quer über alle Parteien sich hinwegziehen viel zu gross. Daher eine Baustelle wo die etablierten Partien seit Jahren keine echte Lösung haben, sonst wäre das Thema ja seit Jahren gelöst. Die demografische Entwicklung der Bevölkerung wirkt negativ auf das ganze System.
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
Represents a penalty for married couples. It is even more unfair if both have paid in for decades.
Stellt einen Strafe für Ehepaare dar. Ist zudem noch ungerechter wenn beide jahrzehntelang einbezahlt haben.
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
Before anything is lowered here, it is imperative that the scope of the individual health insurance funds be better illuminated.
Bevor hier überhaupt was gesenkt wird, gilt es zwingend den Spielraum der einzelnen Kassen besser auszuleuchten.
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
Goes in the other extreme direction than I experienced. Did not have a single day of paternity leave with the 1st child.
Geht in die andere extreme Richtung als ich es erlebt. Hatte beim 1. Kind keinen einzigen Tag Vaterschaftsurlaub.
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
Unfortunately, intervention becomes necessary if the market does not play. If non-profit housing is to be built, it should also be non-profit. Not just money flowing from one fund to another.
Ein Eingriff wird leider nötig, wenn der Markt nicht spielten sollte. Wenn gemeinnützige Wohnungen gebaut werden sollen, soll es dann auch gemeinnützig sein. Nicht nur das Geld von der einen Kasse in eine andere Kasse abfliesst.
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
Absolutely unnecessary
Absolut unnötig
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
The reasonableness to use unnecessary sugar in food is expected from the food industry. Some manufacturers have responded to this, but is still an existing problem today, hence the idea of such a levy.
Die Vernunft unnötig Zucker in Lebensmitteln einzusetzen wird von der Lebensmittelindustrie erwartet. Einige Hersteller haben darauf reagiert, ist heute jedoch noch ein existentes Problem, daher kommt auch die Idee einer solchen Abgabe.
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
A regulation that could certainly help, but would have to be handled very cleverly, so that not the wrong ones are hit. Unfortunately, the voluntary high possible deductibles were cancelled by the Federal Council in recent years. At that time, this decision went in an absolutely wrong direction.
Eine Regelung die sicher helfen könnte, müsste aber sehr geschickt gehandhabt werden, so dass nicht die falschen getroffen werden. Leider wurden in den vergangenen Jahren die freiwilligen hohen möglichen Franchisen durch den Bundesrat gestrichen. Dieser Entscheid ging damals in eine absolut falsche Richtung.
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 danger is very great that such a measure will be abused.
Die Gefahr ist sehr gross, das eine solche Massnahme missbraucht wird.
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 federal government is far too far removed from the real action here.
Der Bund ist hier viel zu weit weg vom eigentlichen Geschehen.
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
This is not generally the right recipe, but it is suitable for a small number of students. Example in Langnau i.E.
Ist nicht generell das richtige Repzept, bei kleiner Anzahl von Schülern ist das jedoch passend. Beispiel in Langnau i.E.
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
Not every educational path has to go via the gymnasium route. We also urgently need craftsmen. "If craft work were partly better paid than academic work, a lot would sort itself out here."
Es muss nicht jeder Bildungsweg über den gymnasialen Weg ablaufen. Wir benötigen dringend auch Handwerker. "Wenn die handwerkliche Arbeit teils besser bezahlt wäre als die Akademische, würde sich hier viel selber regeln."
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
The most intelligent do not generally come from the financially strong corner. Various resources valuable to society are lost unnecessarily. Before drawing skilled workers from abroad, this discrimination gap should be closed.
Die Intelligentesten kommen nicht generell aus der finanzstarken Ecke. Diverse für die Gesellschaft wertvolle Ressourcen gehen unnötig verloren. Bevor man vom Ausland Fachkräfte schöpft, sollte diese Diskriminierungslücke geschlossen werden.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The economy should learn at an early stage to train the existing people in the respective necessary areas and not, as is often the case, to recruit only trained people from abroad. There are certainly exceptions where this is not possible. However, the impression is often created that these are all exceptions where this is not possible in any other way. There are various companies where the early training and further education is well under control and unfortunately not in others.
Die Wirtschaft soll mal lernen frühzeitig die vorhandenen Personen in die jeweiligen notwendigen Bereiche weiterzubilden und nicht wie oft gerne gehandhabt, nur ausgebildete Personen aus dem Ausland zu rekrutieren. Ausnahmen wo das so nicht möglich ist gibt es sicherlich. Jedoch entsteht oft der Eindruck, es seien alles Ausnahmen wo das nicht anders möglich ist. Es gibt diverse Unternehmungen wo man die frühzeitige Aus und Weiterbildung ganz gut im Griff hat und bei anderen eben leider nicht.
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
Yes, that is an effective approach. But we as Switzerland cannot do something like this on our own. We need to cooperate with the surrounding countries, which are currently pursuing similar approaches.
Ja das ist ein wirkungsvoller Lösungsansatz. Doch können wir sowas als Schweiz nicht im Alleingang tun. Da braucht es die Zusammenarbeit mit den umliegenden Ländern, die aktuell ähnliche Ansätze verfolgen.
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
Unfortunately, this is still a first step. Exceptions are supposed to apply for medical purposes.
Ist halt leider nach wie vor ein Einstieg. Ausnahmen sollen für medizinische Zwecke gelten.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
If a person genuinely chooses the path, there are no guilty parties besides.
Wenn ein Mensch sich echt für den Weg entschiedet, gibt es nebenbei keine Schuldigen.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
With another designation that does not go deeper into the actual existence, but not with a selection of designations like a bouquet of flowers.
Mit einer weiteren Bezeichnung die nicht tiefer auf das eigentliche Dasein eingeht, jedoch nicht mit einer Auswahl von Bezeichnungen wie ein Blumenstrauss.
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
It would simplify a lot for such couples and for authorities. Religious views have lost nothing here.
Es würde sich für solche Paare und für Behörden vieles vereinfachen. Relegiöse Ansichten haben hier nichts verlohren.
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
The canton would also have to offer a real hand. But one must also be clearly aware of which tasks are to be cancelled at the federal level... and this is where the real discussion begins.
Auch der Kanton müsste da echt Hand bieten. Doch muss man sich auch klar bewusst sein, welche Aufgaben beim Bund gestrichen werden sollen... und hier beginnt dann die eigentliche Diskussion.
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
As a rule, someone who inherits such assets will also invest something again, which inevitably leads to tax substrate in some form.
In der Regel wird von jemandem der solche Vermögen erbt, auch wieder wo was investiert, was unweigerlich in einer Form zu Steuersubstrat führt.
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
This is because not every canton has the same starting point, given location/baseline such as base load volume.
Denn nicht jeder Kanton hat dieselbe Ausganglage, gegebene Lage/Grundlage wie Grundlastaufkommen.
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
Everyone who really works 100% has the right to make ends meet. We don't need any more American conditions with 3 and more jobs and then still no right livelihood.
Jeder der echt einer 100% Arbeitstätigkeit nachgeht, hat doch das Recht einigermassen selber über die Runden zu kommen. Wir brauchen keine weiteren amerikanischen Verhältnisse mit 3 und mehr Jobs und dann doch kein rechtes Auskommen.
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
These bonus stories always encourage the wrong incentives, especially in the banking sector. The past few years have shown time and again that things are getting out of hand, especially in the higher wage brackets, because of the bonus incentives. How much "shit" still has to happen before people want to admit that.
Diese Bonusgeschichten animiert gerade im Bankensektor immer zu falschen Anreizen. Die vergangenen Jahre haben das immer wieder gezeigt, dass gerade in den höheren Lohnklassen die Sache auch wegen den Bonusanreizen aus dem Ruder läuft. Wie mancher "Scheiss" muss da noch passieren bis man das durchwegs wahrhaben will.
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
Brings only an unnecessary administration which then also causes unnecessary costs, which then affects everyone in the end. Rather enough decentralized generation & storage facilities without large regulations and "Auflagenklimbim". Then it has in the end cheap electricity for all.
Bringt nur eine unnötige Administration die dann auch wieder unnötig Kosten verursacht, die dann am Ende alle betrifft. Lieber genügend dezentrale Erzeugungs & Speicheranlagen ohne grossen Vorschriften und "Auflagenklimbim". Dann hat es am Ende günstigen Strom für alle.
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
A relaxation is imperative for the utilization rate. This helps to curb the massive housing shortage. An unholy alliance is trying to prevent this. It sees as an example not all cheap housing in the countryside....
Für die Ausnutzungsziffer ist eine Lockerung zwingend notwendig. Das hilft die massive Wohnungsknappheit zu dämmen. Eine unheilige Allianz versucht das zu verhindern. Es sehen als Beispiel nicht alle günstigen Wohnraum auf dem Land...
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
Actually, one should not have to make this control, however, unfortunately, everything still does not run cleanly here. There is also the reverse, that a young woman with "HSG-discharge papers" in companies earns more than a family man who would really need the funds.
Eigentlich sollte man diese Kontrolle nicht tätigen müssen, jedoch läuft halt leider hier nach wie vor nicht alles sauber. Es gibt auch das umgekehrte, das eine junge Frau mit "HSG-Ablasspapieren" in Firmen mehr verdient als ein Familienvater der die Mittel echt nötig hätte.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Although some people don't like to see this, there is nothing else here, with a few exceptions. The coming electromobility will not change anything here. Only when a substantial part can take the airway with antigravity technology, something will change here.
Obschon dass das einige nicht gerne sehen, es gibt hier bis auf wenige Ausnahmen nichts anderes. Die kommende Elektromobilität ändert hier nichts. Erst wenn ein wesentlicher Teil mit Antigravitationstechnik den Luftweg nehmen kann, ändert sich hier was.
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 also possible to run the combustion engine on methanol, or e-fuel. This methanol can be produced from the abnosphere. At the end, no more methanol is released into the abnosphere than was extracted.
Es ist auch möglich den Verbrennungsmotor mit Methanol, bzw. E-Fuel laufen zu lassen. Dieses Methanol kann aus der Abnosphäre hergestellt werden. Es wird am Ende nicht mehr in die Abnosphäre abgegeben als entnommen wurde.
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
Allow environmentally friendly technology and its solution without "requirement klimbim", then the way is paved by the incentives.
Umweltfreundliche Technik und deren Lösung ohne "Auflagenklimbim" zulassen, dann ist der Weg über die Anreize geebnet.
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
If we want to move forward with renewable energy technologies, a relaxation is inevitable. Not everything that is done is against the environment, the opposite is often the case. In a few decades, maybe nobody will talk about photovoltaics anymore. There we win the electrons directly from neutrinos from the universe. And there will come again someone that it harms the environment or even ourselves...
Wenn wir mit erneurbaren Energietechniken weiter kommen wollen ist einen Lockerung unumgänglich. Nicht alles was man da tut richtet sich gegen die Umwelt, das Gegenteil ist oftmals der Fall. In ein paar Jahrzehnten spricht vielleicht niemand mehr von Fotovoltaik. Da gewinnen wir die Elektronen direkt aus Neutrinos aus dem Universum. Und da wird wieder jemand kommen das es der Umwelt oder gar uns selber schadet...
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
If the reactors of Zaporizhia blow up because of the warlike events, the weather situation brings the radioactivity here to Western Europe, the question for new nuclear power plants does not arise any more... In the coming years, the path of alternative, but also storage options must be consistently followed. The electric cars must take over an important role for the decentralized storage, they are sleeping capacities that are already in the field.
Wenn die Reaktoren von Saporichia wegen den kriegerischen Ereignissen in die Luft geht, die Wetterlage die Radioaktivität hier nach Westeuropa bringt, stellt sich die Frage nach neuen AKW nicht mehr... Hier muss nun die kommenden Jahre konsequent der Weg der alternativen, aber auch der Speichermöglichkeiten gegangen werden. Die Elektroautos müssen dabei für die dezentrale Speicherung eine wichtige Rolle übernehmen, es sind schlafende Kapazitäten die bereits im Feld sind.
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
If this is to be no more, we demand massive tax relief here in the countryside!
Wenn das nicht mehr sein soll, verlangen wir hier auf dem Land massive steuerliche Entlastung!
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
In the first step, this seems to be a good thing, but it would also punish the wrong people.
Im 1. Schritt dünkt das einem eine gute Sache, jedoch würden dabei reihenweise auch Falsche bestraft.
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
There are regions in Switzerland today where shooting is even overdue. In the past century, these animals were not virtually exterminated out of joy.
Es gibt heute in der Schweiz Regionen, da sind Abschüsse gar überfällig. Im vergangenen Jahrhundert wurde nicht aus Freude diese Tiere quasi ausgerottet.
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Ecology is now well "lived" in many places in agriculture. You can always do more: The question is what one wants and what it brings. Everything that sounds like performance must then also be controlled in depth. The control apparatus in agriculture has increased massively in recent years. It is paradoxical that here farmers (who feel or are called to "higher things") control the farmers...
Die Ökologie wird heute vielerorts in der Landwirtschaft gut "gelebt". Man kann immer mehr tun: Die Frage ist was man will und was es bringt. Alles was nach Leistung tönt muss dann auch wieder vertieft kontrolliert werden. Der Kontrollapparat in der Landwirtschaft nahm die vergangenen Jahre massiv zu. Paradox ist, dass hier Bauern (die sich zu "Höhrem" berufen fühlen oder sind) die Bauern kontrollieren...
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
Much has been done in the past decades and some of it was certainly necessary. Unfortunately, there are always cases where abuse or neglect of animals occurs. Stricter rules are of no use whatsoever. Such cases usually have other backgrounds.
Da wurde in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten viel getan und einiges davon tat sicher auch not. Es gibt leider immer Fälle wo Missbrauch, bzw. Vernachlässigung an Tieren auftritt. Da nützen auch strengere Regeln rein gar nichts. Solche Fälle haben in der Regel andere Hintergründe.
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
The already low degree of self-sufficiency is sinking even more. The current time shows us that this is the wrong way.

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
There must really happen what, the plastic flood in the oceans lets greetings. Much has already happened that moves in the right direction. Coordination at the international level is necessary here.
Da muss echt was geschehen, die Plastikflut in den Weltmeeren lässt Grüssen. Vieles ist schon geschehen das in die richtige Richtung sich bewegt. Eine Koordination auf internationaler Ebene ist hier von Nöten.
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
Many things are not easy to implement. Especially the issues with software updates. These often play a decisive role in the long-term usability of the hardware. As long as sales control bonuses and profits in this industry, there is a striking conflict of goals that could be eliminated. In addition, the worldwide scarcity of chips works against the cause.
Vieles ist halt nicht ganz einfach umzusetzen. Vor allem die Themen mit Software-Updates. Diese haben oftmals eine entscheidende Rolle auf die lange Verwendbarkeit der Hardware. Solange in dieser Branche die Umsätze Boni und Gewinne steuern, herrscht ein frappanter Zielkonflikt, den es auszuräumen gäbe. Zudem wirkt die weltweite Knappheit der Chips der Sache entgegen.
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
If we don't do it, Elon Musk will with Starlink. He does it in exactly the same way... In the end, it's a question of the dependence or independence of our company.
Wenn wir,s nicht tun, tut es Elon Musk mit Starlink. Er tut es zwar genau gleich... ist am Ende eine Frage der Abhängigkeit, bzw. Unabhängigkeit unserer Gesellschaft.
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
Would be necessary in part, but predefining also means co-financing. The cantons are expected to mutually agree on certain basic standards.
Wäre zum Teil nötig, doch Vorgeben heisst auch mitfinanzieren. Es wird von den Kantonen erwartet, dass sie sich gegenseitig auf gewisse Grundstandarts einigen.
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 EU and the USA are also fighting this, or trying to. We as a small Switzerland have quite marginal influence and implementation power. But this does not mean that we do not help. Sufficient enforcement power can only be built up internationally. It becomes critical when states with such dominant platform operators are imposed.
Wird von EU und USA auch bekämpft, bzw. versucht. Wir als kleine Schweiz haben da recht marginalen Einfluss und Umsetzungskraft. Soll aber nicht heissen, dass wir da nicht auch mithelfen. Genügend Durchsetzungskraft kann nur international aufgebaut werden. Kritisch wird wenn Staaten mit solchen dominanten Plattformbetreibern verhängt sind.

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
But only if the people have not already decided on it in advance. It does not make sense to hold referendums on expenditures against preceding decisions of the people that are associated with cost consequences.
Aber nur dann, wenn das Volk nicht schon vorgängig darüber entschieden hat. Es ergibt keinen Sinn, Referenden zu Ausgaben gegen vorgehende Volksentscheide die mit Kostenfolge verbunden sind zu ergreiffen.
Security & military
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
Unfortunately, one has dismantled far too much AdA's in recent years. Even individual politicians who "only" know about defense have unfortunately helped!

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
Alone, we cannot defend ourselves in the event of an invasion from the east. In addition, our weapons systems come almost exclusively from the NATO area. The time of heavy or high-tech war equipment exclusively from Swiss big industry is over. This fact has not yet reached the Swiss political world. There are still Oerlikon Bührle, Georg Fischer, even KW-Thun or Hasler AG Bern.
Alleine können wir uns bei einem Übergriff aus dem Osten nicht verteidigen. Zudem kommen unsere Waffensystem fast ausschliesslich aus dem Natoraum. Die Zeit von schwerem oder Hightech-Kriegsgerät ausschliesslich aus der Schweizer Grossindustrie ist vorbei. Dieser Umstand ist noch nicht überall in der Schweizer Politwelt angekommen. Da gibt es immer noch Oerlikon Bührle, Georg Fischer, gar die KW-Thun oder die Hasler AG Bern.
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
There are still politicians who think that foreign countries will help us in the event of an attack, even if we do not help, as in Ukraine. The naivety in the right-wing camp lives.
Es hat immer noch Politiker die meinen das Ausland helfe uns dann bei einem Angriff, auch wenn wir nun wie in der Ukraine nicht helfen. Die Naivität im rechtsbürgerlichen Lager lebt.

We need cooperation at all levels, especially at this time here in Western Europe. In doing so, we would weaken ourselves.

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
Good relationships are very necessary nowadays. A good relationship does not mean membership. In the private sphere a good relationship is also not equal to marriage!
Gute Beziehungen sind aktuell den je sehr nötig. Eine gute Beziehung bedeutet nicht Mitgliedschaft. Im privaten Bereich ist ein gute Beziehung auch nicht gleich Heirat!
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 |

Comment
Currently, there is no reason to do so. There would be few winners.
Aktuell gibt es so keinen Grund. Gewinner gäbe es wenige.
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
Correct implementation abroad is associated with high hurdles. However, this should be expected from the corresponding companies.
Eine korrekte Umsetzung im Ausland durchzusetzen ist mit hohen Hürden verbunden. Sollte von den entsprechenden Firmen jedoch erwartet werden dürfen.
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?

Comment
We will not receive a free trade agreement from the EU as long as it exists in the form it does today.
Nur ein Freihandelsabkommen werden wir von der EU so lange diese in der Form wie heute besteht, nicht erhalten.
Return to a strict interpretation of neutrality
Should Switzerland return to a strict interpretation of neutrality (renounce economic sanctions to a large extent)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Switzerland was never as neutral as the "Blocherverein" PRO Switzerland now celebrates. Also not in the 2nd world war! Christoph Blocher who knows the history so well, should know the details of that time best. Possibly he knows the history only as he knows his world view.
Die Schweiz war gar nie so neutral wie es der "Blocherverein" PRO Schweiz nun zelebriert. Auch im 2. Weltkrieg nicht! Christoph Blocher der sich in der Geschichte so gut auskennt, sollte die Details von damals am besten kennen. Möglicherweise kennt er die Geschichte nur so wie er sein Weltbild kennt.

Full-time not, but a significant portion pass and has proven itself in many places.

What I don't understand by digitization is that data is manually transferred from one tool to another. That has nothing to do with digitization. That is pure "Webstübeler-Büez".
Wobei ich unter Digitalisierung nicht verstehe, dass man Daten von Hand vom einen Tool ins andere Tool bringt. Das hat rein nichts mit Digitalisierung zu tun. Das ist reine "Webstübeler-Büez"

Environmental protection does not generally mean less economic growth. Exactly the opposite can also be the case.
Umweltschutz heisst nicht generell weniger Wirtschaftswachstum. Genau das Gegenteil kann auch der Fall sein.

Yes, but not only almost exclusively related to the cultivated area, this approach is absolutely wrong. It leads to an unhealthy land annexation struggle in agriculture!
Ja, aber nicht nur fast ausschliesslich bezogen auf die bewirtschafteten Fläche, dieser Ansatz ist absolut falsch. Er führt zu einem ungesunden Land-Annektierungskampf in der Landwirtschaft!

Switzerland has always done a good job abroad. But when it comes to constantly cleaning up theaters of war, the additional funds must come from the originators, the perpetrators of these conflicts.
Die Schweiz hat immer gute Dienste im Ausland geleistet. Doch wenn es darum geht ständig Kriegsschauplätze aufzuräumen, müssen die zusätzlichen Mitte vom Verursache, den Verursachern dieser Konflikte kommen.
Comment
The state should not create something that broad sections of the economy do not want. It is always possible to do something useful after 65, if the constitution of the individual still allows it.
Der Staat soll nicht was schaffen das breite Teile der Wirtschaft gar nicht will. Es ist immer möglich nach 65 was sinnvolles noch zu tun, wenn die Verfassung des einzelnen es noch erlaub.
