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
Increased premium reductions are the wrong way to go. Savings incentives must be set for those who use the health services.
Die verstärkte Prämienverbilligung ist der falsche Weg. Es müssen Sparanreize gesetzt werden bei denjenigen, die die Gesundheitsdienstleistungen in Anspruch nehmen.
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
It should be abolished for those who have raised children (i.e. future pensioners). Otherwise, the incentive to no longer have children of one's own will remain.
Sie soll bei denjenigen aufgehoben werden, welche Kinder (also künftige Rentenzahler) grossgezogen haben. Ansonsten bleibt der Anreiz bestehen, keine eigenen Kinder mehr zu 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
This measure automatically results from the interest that can be earned and the life expectancy after retirement.
Diese Massnahme ergibt sich automatisch aus der erwirtschaftbaren Verzinsung und der Lebenserwartung nach der Pensionierung.
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 economy will not become more competitive with such personnel cost increases. We have to be very aware that we have to remain competitive internationally.
Die Wirtschaft wird mit solchen Personalkostenverteuerungen nicht konkurrenzfähiger. Wir müssen uns sehr bewusst sein, dass wir international konkurrenzfähig bleiben müssen.
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
No. Immigration must be limited to net contributors. Then the demand for housing will increase to a much lesser extent and rents will no longer rise so sharply.
Nein. Die Zuwanderung muss beschränkt werden auf Nettozahler. Dann steigt die Nachfrage nach Wohnraum in deutlich geringerem Mass und die Mieten steigen nicht mehr so stark an.
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
Before the Corona pandemic, I would have answered this question confidently with "rather yes" and thus supported a vaccination recommendation. Since then, I have lost all confidence in a benevolent, free, independent and objective state. The fact that "unvaccinated" and very well-informed citizens were harassed by the state shocked me deeply. This must never happen again.
Vor der Corona-Pandemie hätte ich diese Frage noch vertrauensvoll mit "eher ja" beantwortet und damit eine Impfempfehlung befürwortet. Seither habe ich habe ich jegliches Vertrauen in einen wohlwollenden, freien, unabhängig und objektiv handelnden Staat verloren. Dass dann auch noch "ungeimpfte" und durchaus sehr gut informierte Bürger vom Staat schikaniert wurden, hat mich nachhaltig schockiert. Das darf nie wieder vorkommen.
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
We are free and self-thinking citizens in this country. We do not need mothering by the state.
Wir sind freie und selbst denkende Bürger in diesem Land. Wir brauchen keine Bemutterung durch den Staat.
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
Fewer and fewer people can still afford health insurance. The incentive to save increases automatically when people are made more responsible for their own health.
Immer weniger Menschen können sich die Krankenversicherung noch leisten. Der Sparanreiz steigt automatisch, wenn man stärker in die Verantwortung für die eigene Gesundheit genommen wird.
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 councils preferred to act in conformity with international law instead of reacting prudently, proportionately and independently. Considerable damage was done to the economy and confidence in a moderately acting state was shaken. Fundamental liberties of the unvaccinated were violated. To this day, no serious apology has been made, let alone an urgently needed reappraisal. The measures were totalitarian and disproportionate.
Die Bundesräte agierten lieber international konform, statt besonnen, verhältnismässig und eigenständig zu reagieren. Der Wirtschaft wurden erhebliche Schäden zugefügt und das Vertrauen in einen massvoll agierenden Staat erschüttert. Grundlegendste Freiheitsrechte der Ungeimpften wurden verletzt. Bis heute ist keine ernsthafte Entschuldigung erfolgt, geschweige denn eine dringend gebotene Aufarbeitung durchgeführt. Die Massnahmen waren totalitär und unverhältnismässig.
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
Intercantonal cooperation can make sense in certain situations.
Eine überkantonale Zusammenarbeit kann situativ Sinn machen.
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
Due to migration, the children are already so mixed that I admire teachers who can still teach such a heterogeneous class in a goal-oriented way. If children with learning difficulties are added to the mix, we will finally put the brakes on future achievers and scare away our teachers for good.
Durch die Migration sind die Kinder schon heute derart durchmischt, dass ich Lehrer bewundere, dass sie eine derart heterogene Klasse noch zielführend unterrichten können. Wenn dann auch noch lernschwache Kinder dazukommen, bremsen wir künftige Leistungserbringer endgültig aus und vergraulen unsere Lehrer endgültig.
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
Switzerland is also successful because of its good vocational training. It is a fallacy to believe that only "students" can ensure a sustainable Switzerland. Innovation comes about when we have very differently educated professionals.
Die Schweiz ist auch erfolgreich wegen der guten Berufsbildung. Es ist ein Trugschluss zu glauben, dass nur "Studierte" eine tragfähige Schweiz gewährleisten können. Innovation kommt zustande, wenn wir sehr unterschiedlich gebildete Berufstätige Menschen haben.
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 state should please hold back.
Der Staat soll sich bitte zurückhalten.
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
Migration has gone completely off the rails. Moreover, in the future, less emphasis should be placed on migration and more on our own children, please.
Die Migration ist völlig aus den Fugen geraten. Zudem ist künftig weniger auf Migration zu setzen, sondern bitte mehr auf eigene Kinder.
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
Migration is already overboard.
Die Migration ist schon überbordet.
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
Genuine refugees would have more of a chance to get to safety. It would also make life-threatening Mediterranean crossings unnecessary.
Echte Flüchtlinge haben damit eher eine Chance sich in Sicherheit zu bringen. Zudem würde es lebensgefährliche Mittelmeer-Überfahrten unnötig machen.
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
No, the Swiss alone determine their fate.
Nein, die Schweizer bestimmen allein über ihr Schicksal.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Legalization has the effect that the products are more likely to meet certain standards and be removed from a criminal milieu. For young people, similar restrictions must apply as for lottery, tobacco and alcohol (18/18/18).
Eine Legalisierung bewirkt, dass die Produkte eher gewissen Standards entsprechen und einem kriminellen Milieu entzogen werden. Für Jugendliche müssen ähnliche Restriktionen gelten wie bei Lotterie, Tabak und Alkohol (18/18/18).
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
People who want to say goodbye to life should do so in their own full responsibility and awareness. Freedom goes hand in hand with responsibility.
Leute, die sich aus dem Leben verabschieden wollen, sollen dies in eigener voller Verantwortung und vollem Bewusstsein tun. Freiheit geht mit Verantwortung Hand in Hand.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This does no favor to the few people who were actually born without a clear gender. I judge everything else as a new-fangled political squeeze without any benefit.
Damit tut man den wenigen Leuten, die tatsächlich ohne eindeutiges Geschlecht geboren wurden, keinen Gefallen. Alles andere beurteile ich als neumodische politische Zwängerei ohne jeglichen Nutzen.
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
Heterosexuality remains the starter kit for new life. Homosexuals are to be left alone, but please also the heterosexuals. I also welcome a supportive family policy. The hyped-up political discussions staged by the media miss the point that everyone can do what they want in their bedroom, as long as it is consensual and legal.
Heterosexualität bleibt das Starterkit für neues Leben. Homosexuelle sind in Ruhe zu lassen, aber bitte auch die Heterosexuellen. Zudem begrüsse ich eine unterstützende Familienpolitik. Die aufgebauschten medial inszenierten politischen Diskussionen führen am Ziel vorbei, dass jeder in seinem Schlafzimmer tun kann, was er will, solange es einvernehmlich und legal ist.
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
Money should be invested by the owner and preferably not by the state.
Geld soll vom Eigentümer investiert werden und möglichst nicht vom Staat.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I favor tax relief for families.
Ich bevorzuge die steuerliche Entlastung von Familien.
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
It is the choice of each citizen himself whether he wants to spend his money for himself during his lifetime or whether he saves it for his children and does without it himself. This is none of the state's business.
Es ist die Wahl jedes Bürgers selbst, ob er für sich selbst sein Geld zu Lebzeiten ausgeben will oder ob er es für seine Kinder spart und selber dafür verzichtet. Den Staat geht das nichts an.
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
Each household must continue to have an incentive to provide for itself. The communitization of costs inevitably leads to waste.
Jeder Haushalt muss weiterhin einen Anreiz haben für sich selbst zu sorgen. Die Vergemeinschaftung von Kosten führt zwangsläufig zur Verschwendung.
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
The market regulates wages better than the state (or unions). In addition, minimum wages eliminate the possibility for employers to pay performance-related wages. Moreover, weak employees are completely excluded. As far as possible, all those willing to work should be able to be integrated into the labor market, even if their ability is reduced. In special cases, supplementary state benefits are appropriate.
Der Markt regelt Löhne besser als der Staat (oder Gewerkschaften). Zudem entfällt bei Mindestlohnfestlegungen den Arbeitgebern die Möglichkeit, leistungsbezogene Löhne zu zahlen. Man grenzt schwache Arbeitnehmer zudem vollends aus. Es sollen möglichst alle Arbeitswilligen in den Arbeitsmarkt integriert werden können, auch wenn die Fähigkeit herabgesetzt ist. In besonderen Fällen ist staatliche ergänzende Leistung angebracht.
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
I am in favor of making managing directors and board members much more liable in the event of bankruptcy in the event of disloyal management. This automatically leads to more stable financing and more responsible management behavior.
Ich befürworte, dass Geschäftsführer und Verwaltungsräte im Konkursfall viel stärker in die Haftung genommen werden bei ungetreuer Geschäftsführung. Das führt automatisch zu stabileren Finanzierungen und verantwortungsvollerem Managementverhalten.
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
Employee and employer negotiate the wage and enter into a contract with each other if both parties agree. I reject a state wage police.
Arbeitnehmer und -geber verhandeln den Lohn und gehen einen Vertrag miteinander ein, wenn beide Parteien damit einverstanden sind. Eine staatliche Lohnpolizei lehne ich ab.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
If we had not developed the traffic-intensive routes earlier, we would still be using mule trails and mule transports over the Gotthard today. Otherwise, we will have to live with higher transport costs. This would hit low-income earners especially hard. Traffic jams wreak havoc on the national economy and reduce international competitiveness.
Hätten wir schon früher die verkehrsintensiven Routen nicht ausgebaut, würden wir heute noch Saumpfade und Mauleseltransporte über den Gotthard nutzen. Ansonsten ist mit Verteuerungen der Transporte zu leben. Dies würde insbesondere Geringverdienende hart treffen. Staus richten verheerende Kosten für die Volkswirtschaft an und verringern die internationale Wettbewerbsfähigkeit.
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
Innovations are not driven by government bans, but by competition. We owe our prosperity to date to internal combustion engines. If better and cheaper technologies are actually invented, I look forward to it.
Innovationen werden nicht durch staatliche Verbote angetrieben, sondern durch Wettbewerb. Den Verbrennungsmotoren verdanken wir unseren bisherigen Wohlstand. Wenn tatsächlich bessere und günstigere Technologien erfunden werden sollten, freue ich mich darauf.
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
The question implies that one is in favor of climate targets either way. This is not the case in my case. Environmental protection is right and important, and I also want to leave our children a healthy environment. I reject the climate mania that is currently being dogmatically staged by the media.
Die Frage impliziert, dass man so oder so für Klimaziele eintritt. Dies ist in meinem Fall nicht so. Umweltschutz ist richtig und wichtig und auch ich möchte unseren Kindern eine gesunde Umwelt hinterlassen. Den momentan medial dogmatisch inszenierten Klimawahn lehne ich ab.
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
I welcome hydropower as the longest proven technology in Switzerland. It provides increased power on demand. Wind and solar power deliver energy when it is windy or the sun is shining and require the parallel infrastructure that is always available to step in at any time. This makes electricity expensive and fuels inflation because there is energy in almost every product. If only our economy faces expensive energy prices, our industry will migrate.
Ich begrüsse Wasserkraft als längstens bewährte Technik in der Schweiz. Sie liefert verstärkt Leistung bei Bedarf. Wind- und Solarenergie liefert Energie, wenn es windet oder die Sonne scheint und bedingen die ständig verfügbare Parallelinfrastruktur, die jederzeit einspringen kann. Das macht Strom teuer und heizt die Inflation an, da nahezu in jedem Produkt Energie steckt. Wenn nur unsere Wirtschaft mit teuren Energiepreisen konfrontiert wird, wandert unsere Industrie ab.
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
I ask. This technology has long been developed and can provide cheap and safe energy for many more generations.
Ich bitte darum. Diese Technologie wurde längstens weiterentwickelt und kann vielen weiteren Generationen preiswerte und sichere Energie liefern.
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
Anyone who moves to the countryside is automatically confronted with a thinned-out infrastructure. That makes life there cheaper, but also more modest.
Wer auf das Land zieht, ist automatisch mit ausgedünnter Infrastruktur konfrontiert. Das macht das Leben dort günstiger, aber auch bescheidener.
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
Price measures the scarcity of goods - a fairly basic insight. When electricity is scarce, it is more expensive. The stagnant and increasingly erratic electricity production capacity and, in parallel, the increase in electricity consumption due to immigration and due to heat pumps, e-cars has been caused by political short-sightedness. Now comes the bill, which must be paid one way or another.
Der Preis misst die Knappheit der Güter - eine ziemlich grundlegende Erkenntnis. Wenn der Strom knapp wird, ist er eben teurer. Die stagnierende und zunehmend erratische Stromproduktionskapazität und parallel dazu der Strommehrverbrauch durch Zuwanderung und durch Wärmepumpen, E-Autos ist durch politische Kurzsichtigkeit verursacht worden. Jetzt kommt die Rechnung, die so oder so bezahlt werden muss.

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 degree of self-sufficiency in food in Switzerland is already low. The organic production method is less productive than the conventional one. Therefore, it is not worthy of additional support.
Der Selbstversorgungsgrad bezüglich Lebensmittel in der Schweiz ist schon tief. Die Produktionsmethode Bio ist weniger ertragreich, als die konventionelle. Deshalb ist sie nicht zusätzlich förderungswürdig.
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 |

National territory available for biodiversity conservation
Should 30% of Switzerland's land area be dedicated to preserving biodiversity? [BePart question]

In our country, land is already scarce and expensive.
In unserem Land ist der Boden bereits knapp und teuer.
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
No, bans do not bring innovation, competition does. Recycling processes have also already been improved.
Nein, Verbote bringen keine Innovationen, sondern der Wettbewerb. Auch die Recyclingverfahren wurden bereits verbessert.
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
The customer must inform himself and pay accordingly more for good products.
Der Kunde muss sich selbst informieren und für gute Produkte entsprechend mehr bezahlen.
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
My trust in the independent judgment of authorities has suffered greatly in recent years. I am not sure whether the technology is really safe for people and the environment.
Mein Vertrauen in die unabhängige Urteilsfähigkeit von Behörden hat in den letzten Jahren arg gelitten. Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob die Technologie für Mensch und Umwelt tatsächlich unbedenklich ist.
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
The canton must be able to proceed according to its own financial possibilities.
Der Kanton muss gemäss eigenen finanziellen Möglichkeiten vorgehen können.
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
No, state censorship and opinion mongering have already increased massively in the last few years.
Nein, staatliche Zensur und Meinungsmache haben wir die letzten paar Jahren bereits massiv zugenommen.
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
Yes, SRG has become far too politically left-wing and has lost its raison d'être as the fourth estate in the state. SRG is so bogged down in the topics of the US elections, Ukraine, Corona, union issues, climate change that one has the impression that they have swallowed the red-green party program.
Ja, die SRG ist viel zu politisch links geworden und hat als vierte Gewalt im Staat seine Daseinsberechtigung verloren. Die SRG ist derart festgefahren in den Themen US-Wahlen, Ukraine, Corona, gewerkschaftliche Themen, Klimawandel, dass man den Eindruck hat, sie hätten das rotgrüne Parteiprogramm verschluckt.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Comment
At a young age, one cannot sufficiently distinguish propaganda from reality due to lack of life experience.
In jungen Jahren kann man Propaganda nicht ausreichend von der Realität unterscheiden aufgrund von mangelnder Lebenserfahrung.

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
Switzerland must continue to be able to guarantee perpetual, independent, armed neutrality.
Die Schweiz muss weiterhin eine immerwährende, unabhängige, bewaffnete Neutralität gewährleisten können.
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
Switzerland must remain independent and stay away from alliances. We were able to learn this lesson very impressively during the First World War.
Die Schweiz muss unabhängig bleiben und sich von Allianzen fernhalten. Sehr eindrücklich haben wir diese Lektion im ersten Weltkrieg erlernen können.
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 must remain credible as a neutral state at all times.
Die Schweiz muss als neutraler Staat jederzeit glaubwürdig bleiben.
Scumonda da visar automaticamain la fatscha en locals publics
Should automatic facial recognition be banned in public spaces?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Something like this would only be permitted temporarily at best in the event of an extreme threat to order and security. However, order and security must be established at the border, not in the interior of the country.
So etwas wäre nur bei extremer Gefährdung von Ordnung und Sicherheit bestenfalls temporär zu erlauben. Allerdings ist Ordnung und Sicherheit bereits an der Grenze zu bewerkstelligen, nicht erst im Landesinneren.

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 EU will fall apart even more. I also don't know who elected Ms. von der Leyen. We should strengthen trade relations with the rest of the world.
Die EU wird noch stärker auseinanderfallen. Mir ist auch nicht bekannt, wer Frau von der Leyen gewählt hat. Wir sollten die Handelsbeziehungen mit der restlichen Welt stärker ausbauen.
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
However, we must take care of our agriculture in order not to let the self-sufficiency level fall even further.
Allerdings müssen wir unserer Landwirtschaft Sorge tragen, um den Selbstversorgungsgrad nicht noch weiter fallen zu lassen.
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
Local laws apply to everyone. Otherwise, we systematically disadvantage Swiss companies and this would result in an exodus.
Es gelten die lokalen Gesetze für alle. Sonst benachteiligen wir schweizerische Unternehmen systematisch und dies hätte eine Abwanderung zur Folge.
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
The free movement of persons has had a disastrous effect.
Die Personenfreizügigkeit hat sich katastrophal ausgewirkt.
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
I cannot understand why Switzerland has deviated from this strict interpretation of neutrality at all. Switzerland must remain neutral ground so that international conflicts can continue to be discussed and settled in Switzerland.
Ich kann nicht verstehen, dass die Schweiz überhaupt von dieser strikten Neutralitätsauslegung abgewichen ist. Die Schweiz muss neutraler Boden bleiben, so dass weiterhin internationale Konflikte in der Schweiz besprochen und beigelegt werden können.

We are getting older and want to benefit from good pensions for longer, so we have to work longer and save. However, not all professions and people are the same. You have to be able to leave earlier, but with a deduction.
Wir werden älter und wollen länger von guten Renten profitieren, also muss länger gearbeitet und gespart werden. Allerdings sind nicht alle Berufe und Menschen gleich. Man muss früher gehen können, allerdings mit einem Abschlag.
