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 annually increasing health insurance premiums are difficult to finance for a part of the population. Therefore, in my view, it is necessary to support these individuals or families financially, so that all people in Switzerland have access to health care.
Die jährlich steigenden Krankenkassen-Prämien sind für einen Teil der Bevölkerung schwer zu finanzieren. Deshalb ist es aus meiner Sicht nötig diese Personen oder Familien finanziell zu unterstützen, damit alle Menschen in der Schweiz einen Zugang zur Gesundheitsversorgung haben.
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
I think that no distinctions should be made for married couples, cohabiting couples, or couples living together freely.
Ich finde, dass bei verheirateten Paaren, im Konkubinat oder als frei zusammen lebende Paare keine Unterschiede gemacht werden sollten.
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
Personally, I don't think the minimum conversion rate should be lowered. Pensions have tended to decrease in recent years.
Ich persönlich finde nicht, dass der Mindestumwandlungssatz gesenkt werden sollte. Die Renten haben tendenziell in den letzten Jahren eher schon abgenommen.
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
I think maternity leave is rather too short and would be in favor of increasing it by a few weeks. The first period after the birth is a big adjustment for both parents (new role/responsibility, sleep rhythm, breastfeeding, etc.). In addition, I think it would make more sense to talk about "parental leave" and leave it up to the parents to decide how they want to divide up these weeks of parental leave.
Ich finde den Mutterschaftsurlaub eher zu kurz bemessen und wäre dafür, diesen um ein paar Wochen zu erhöhen. Die erste Zeit nach der Geburt stellt für beide Eltern eine grosse Umstellung dar (neue Rolle/Verantwortung, Schlafrhythmus, Stillen etc.) Zudem fände ich es sinnvoller, von "Elternurlaub" zu sprechen und den Eltern die Entscheidung zu überlassen, wie sie sich diese Elternurlaubswochen einteilen möchten.
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
I have the impression that rents in Switzerland have reached a rather high level. The current changes in interest rates and energy prices are making housing even more expensive. It is important to me that people with lower incomes can also rent an affordable and suitable apartment. In my view, this requires more non-profit housing construction.
Ich habe den Eindruck, dass die Mieten in der Schweiz ein eher hohes Niveau erreicht haben. Durch die momentanen Zins- und Energiepreisveränderungen verteuert sich das Wohnen weiter. Mir ist es wichtig, dass auch Menschen mit tieferen Einkommen eine bezahlbare und passende Wohnung mieten können. Dazu braucht es aus meiner Sicht mehr gemeinnützigen Wohnungsbau.
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
I think it is important to inform parents carefully and comprehensively about the various vaccinations. Based on the advantages and disadvantages thus revealed, I hope to see a relatively high level of willingness to receive the vaccinations.
Ich finde es wichtig, die Eltern über die verschiedenen Impfungen sorgfältig und umfassend zu informieren. Aufgrund der sich so zeigenden Vor- und Nachteile erhoffe ich mir eine relativ hohe Bereitschaft zu den Impfungen.
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
High sugar consumption is harmful to health. It is contained in many prefabricated foods. In my view, it would make a lot of sense to reduce these proportions and to inform and sensitize the population accordingly. Some efforts have already been made (fruit yogurt without added sugar, flavored drinks without sugar, etc.). There is still room for improvement.
Ein hoher Zuckerkonsum ist schädlich für die Gesundheit. In vielen vorgefertigten Lebensmitteln ist er enthalten. Aus meiner Sicht wäre es sehr sinnvoll, diese Anteile zu reduzieren und die Bevölkerung auch entsprechend zu informieren und sensibilisieren. Einzelne Bestrebungen dazu gibt es schon (Früchtejoghurt ohne zusätzlichen Zucker, aromatisierte Getränke ohne Zucker etc.). Da wären noch Verbesserungen möglich.
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
I think it makes a lot of sense that every person has to contribute proportionately to their own healthcare costs. In this way, it is possible to see how expensive the treatments are. Maybe then people won't immediately go to a doctor or emergency room for every little thing. However, the contribution should not be so high that financially weak people do not seek treatment for urgent problems or seek treatment too late for financial reasons.
Ich finde es sehr sinnvoll, dass sich jede Person anteilsmässig an den eigenen Gesundheitskosten beteiligen muss. So bleibt erkennbar, wie teuer die Behandlungen sind. Vielleicht wird dann auch nicht wegen jeder Kleinigkeit sofort ein Arzt oder eine Notfallaufnahme aufgesucht. Die Beteiligung sollte aber nicht so hoch sein, dass sich finanziell schwache Personen bei dringlichen Problemen aus finanziellen Gründen nicht oder zu spät behandeln lassen.
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
Personally, I think that the Federal Council has, on the whole, acted quite well in the Covid pandemic (e.g. compared to Germany....). Therefore, I do not want any limitations in the future.
Ich persönlich finde, dass der Bundesrat im Grossen und Ganzen bei der Covid-Pandemie recht gut gehandelt hat (z. Bsp. im Vergleich zu Deutschland....). Deshalb möchte ich da zukünftig keine Begrenzungen.
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
Personally, I think that hospital planning cannot only take place in the cantons, but that a superordinate view of the hospital landscape is needed. In this way, overprovision and thus, for example, unnecessary operations or treatments could be reduced. Not all hospitals have to offer all treatments, but regional priorities could be set. We are a quite mobile society and longer distances to the "suitable" hospital will probably become necessary.
Ich persönlich denke, dass die Spitalplanung nicht nur in den Kantonen stattfinden kann sondern dass es da einen übergeordneten Blick auf die Spitallandschaft braucht. So könnten Überangebote und damit wohl auch z. Bsp. unnötige Operationen oder Behandlungen reduziert werden. Nicht alle Spitäler müssen alle Behandlungen anbieten, sondern es könnten regionale Schwerpunkte gesetzt werden. Wir sind eine recht mobile Gesellschaft und längere Wege zum "passenden" Spital werden wohl nötig.
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
In principle, I am in favor of this. Unfortunately, however, the last few years have shown how difficult it is to implement when there are too many students with learning difficulties, disabilities or behavioral problems in a class. This can lead to excessive demands on teachers and students and make regular instruction difficult/impossible. Therefore, I also support the possibility of small classes or other offers where a more individual care is possible.
Grundsätzlich bin ich dafür. Leider hat sich aber in den letzten Jahren gezeigt, wie schwierig die Umsetzung ist, wenn es zu viele Schüler/innen mit Lernschwierigkeiten, Behinderungen oder Verhaltensauffälligkeiten in einer Klasse gibt. Das kann zu Überforderung bei den Lehrpersonen und Schüler/innen führen und einen geregelten Unterricht erschweren/verunmöglichen. Deshalb unterstütze ich auch die Möglichkeit von Kleinklassen oder anderen Angeboten, wo eine individuellere Betreuung möglich ist.
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
I think the requirements are by and large appropriate. However, there are decent differences from canton to canton. Here it would make sense to make certain adjustments so that the Matura degrees are roughly similar in percentage terms.
Ich denke, die Anforderungen sind im Grossen und Ganzen passend. Jedoch gibt es von Kanton zu Kanton ordentliche Unterschiede. Hier würde es Sinn machen, gewisse Anpassungen zu machen, damit die Maturitätsabschlüsse prozentual ungefähr ähnlich sind.
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
I believe that the social or financial situation of the family should not influence or limit the educational opportunities of students. All students should have the opportunity to realize their potential and abilities. The state should be more involved in this.
Ich finde, dass nicht die soziale oder finanzielle Situation der Familie die Bildungschancen von Schüler/-innen beeinflussen oder einschränken sollte. Alle Schüler/-innen sollten die Möglichkeit haben ihr Potential und ihre Fähigkeiten auszuschöpfen. Da darf sich der Staat gerne stärker dafür einsetzen.
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
I think that the overall situation of the candidate should be considered when naturalizing. For young people, the residence period is an obstructive point, because due to an education, a study or a change of job, the residence is changed more often. Therefore, a change should be made (--> residence in Switzerland).
Ich finde bei den Einbürgerungen sollte die Gesamtsituation des Kandidaten angeschaut werden. Bei jungen Personen ist die Wohnsitzfrist ein hinderlicher Punkt, denn aufgrund einer Ausbildung, eines Studiums oder Stellenwechsels wird der Wohnsitz öfters gewechselt. Deshalb sollte da unbedingt eine Änderung vorgenommen werden (--> Wohnsitz in der Schweiz).
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 in general and the healthcare sector in particular are suffering from a shortage of skilled workers. I guess that's why it makes sense. But I also think it's important that our own workforce can work as well as possible. I'm thinking of the older workers who have great difficulty in finding employment again after being laid off. Our own potential of existing workers should be exploited.
Die Wirtschaft allgemein und vor allem auch das Gesundheitswesen leiden unter einem Fachkräftemangel. Deshalb macht es wohl Sinn. Aber ich finde es auch wichtig, dass unsere eigenen Arbeitskräfte so gut wie möglich tätig sein können. Ich denke da an die älteren Arbeitskräfte, welche grosse Mühe haben nach einer Kündigung wieder eine Anstellung zu finden. Unser eigenes Potential an vorhandenen Arbeitskräften sollte ausgeschöpft werden.
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
Difficult. I can't really imagine the implementation.
Schwierig. Ich kann mir die Umsetzung nicht wirklich vorstellen.
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
I think all foreign people who want to vote and elect have the opportunity to naturalize.
Ich finde, alle ausländischen Personen, die abstimmen und wählen möchten, haben die Möglichkeit sich einzubürgern.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I fear that legalization will lead to cannabis being used too little in the future. Based on experiences from my personal environment, I think it is important not to underestimate the effects and side effects of cannabis. Especially the protection of young people is a concern for me.
Ich befürchte, dass die Legalisierung dazu führt, dass Cannabis zukünftig zu wenig erst genommen wird. Aufgrund von Erfahrungen aus meinem persönlichen Umfeld, finde ich es wichtig die Wirkung sowie auch die Nebenwirkungen von Cannabis nicht zu unterschätzen. Besonders ist mir da der Schutz von Jugendlichen ein Anliegen.
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 there are clear rules for this and careful information/clarification takes place so that no hasty decisions or abuse etc. can occur.
Wenn es dazu klare Regeln gibt und eine sorgfältige Information/Abklärung stattfindet damit es nicht zu voreiligen Entscheidungen oder Missbrauch etc. kommen kann.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I think it's important to include minorities socially. But the whole thing should make sense and not become too complicated.
Ich finde es wichtig, Minderheiten gesellschaftlich mit einzuschliessen. Aber die ganze Sache sollte Sinn machen und nicht zu kompliziert werden.
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
Absolutely! Couples are couples, whether heterosexual or same-sex.
Absolut! Paare sind Paare, egal ob heterosexuell oder gleichgeschlechtlich.
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
Due to the many expenditures in recent years (pandemic, etc.), the financial situation is rather tight. In my view, it makes little sense to think about tax cuts. It remains important to use the available tax money as sensibly as possible.
Aufgrund der vielen Ausgaben in den letzten Jahren (Pandemie etc.) ist die Finanzlage eher angespannt. Da macht es aus meiner Sicht wenig Sinn an Steuersenkungen zu denken. Wichtig bleibt es, die vorhandenen Steuergelder möglichst sinnvoll einzusetzen.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
It cannot be that married couples are still disadvantaged in terms of taxes compared to other couples.
Es kann nicht sein, dass Ehepaare bei den Steuern im Vergleich zu anderen Paaren immer noch benachteiligt sind.
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
Difficult. But actually, the money was already taxed as an asset beforehand and after the inheritance it is also taxed again as an asset. Therefore rather no.
Schwierig. Aber eigentlich wurde das Geld ja vorher schon als Vermögen versteuert und nach der Vererbung wird es auch wieder als Vermögen versteuert. Deshalb eher nein.
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
There are cantons with high or rather low economic density. ("city cantons / country cantons"). But all cantons should be able to fulfill their tasks well and have the corresponding financial resources.
Es gibt Kantone mit hoher oder mit eher tiefer wirtschaftlicher Dichte. ("Stadtkantone / Landkantone"). Aber alle Kantone sollten ihre Aufgaben gut erfüllen können und entsprechende Finanzmittel zur Verfügung haben.
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
I think that with the current fixed costs due to health insurance premiums, rent, transport costs, etc., a minimum wage of Fr. 4000 is not excessive. Cantons that have already introduced the minimum wage have had good experiences with it so far. Perhaps this will also result in lower social welfare costs in the long term.
Ich finde, bei den momentanen Fixkosten durch Krankenkassenprämien, Mieten, Transportkosten etc. sind ein Mindestlohn von Fr. 4000.- nicht übertrieben. Kantone, welche den Mindestlohn schon eingeführt haben, machen bisher gute Erfahrungen damit. Vielleicht ergeben sich dadurch langfristig auch tiefere Sozialhilfekosten.
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 find the highly excessive bonus payments of employees in the banking industry unacceptable. In my view, the banks have lost sight of the normal customers (population). Services are being cut back and every bank statement costs. Therefore, I think it makes sense that stricter regulations for the financial sector increase the security of customer funds from the population.
Die stark überhöhten Bonuszahlungen von Mitarbeitern in der Bankenbranche finde ich nicht akzeptabel. Die Banken haben aus meiner Sicht den Blick für die normalen Kunden (Bevölkerung) verloren. Die Dienstleistungen werden abgebaut und jeder Bankauszug kostet. Deshalb finde ich es sinnvoll, dass strengere Regulierungen für den Finanzsektor die Sicherheit der Kundengelder von der Bevölkerung erhöhen.
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
Difficult. Further developments in the electricity market are difficult to predict at present.
Schwierig. Die weitere Entwicklung im Strommarkt ist momentan schwierig abzuschätzen.
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
I think it is important to facilitate compacted building. In this way, the rather scarce, undeveloped soil can be conserved.
Ich finde es wichtig, dass das verdichtete Bauen erleichtert wird. So kann der eher knappe, unverbaute Boden geschont werden.
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
There has been progress here in recent years, but differences still remain. These need to be addressed.
Hier hat es in den letzten Jahren Fortschritte gegeben, aber trotzdem gibt es weiterhin noch immer Unterschiede. Diese gilt es anzugehen.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I am of the opinion that the expansion of highway sections attracts more motorized traffic and makes it more difficult to switch to public transport. It is better to expand public transport and make it more attractive.
Ich bin der Meinung, dass der Ausbau von Autobahnabschnitten mehr motorisierten Verkehr anzieht und das Umsteigen auf den ÖV erschwert. Lieber den ÖV ausbauen und attraktiver gestalten.
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
Provided that we are able to actually provide the electricity required for this!
Sofern wir in der Lage sind den Strombedarf dazu tatsächlich zur Verfügung zu stellen!
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 incentives must make sense to the population and the benefits must be clearly recognizable and tangible. It is important to "bring people along" and offer them opportunities to make decisions. If people can decide for themselves, they are more likely to do so.
Die Anreize müssen für die Bevölkerung sinnvoll und die Vorteile klar erkennbar und spürbar sein. Es gilt die Menschen "mitzunehmen" und ihnen Entscheidungsmöglichkeiten anzubieten. Wenn sich der Mensch selber für etwas entscheiden kann, ist er eher bereit dies auch zu tun.
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
The expansion of renewable energies has come to the fore and requires an adjustment in environmental and landscape protection. It is necessary that compromises are also possible in order to realize projects.
Der Ausbau von erneuerbaren Energien ist in den Vordergrund gerückt und benötigt eine Anpassung beim Umwelt- und Landschaftsschutz. Es ist nötig, dass dort auch Kompromisse möglich werden um Projekte zu realisieren.
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
Many problems of the nuclear power plants are not solved, such as the safe disposal of nuclear waste, the enormous costs of construction and dismantling, etc.. We also have to buy the uranium we need from abroad and this again creates a dependency. Moreover, we have to act now and cannot wait 20-30 years until a nuclear power plant would be built (if the financing would be possible at all...).
Viele Probleme von den Atomkraftwerken sind nicht gelöst wie z. Bsp. die sichere Entsorgung des Atomabfalls, die enormen Kosten der Erstellung und des Rückbaus etc. Auch das benötigte Uran müssen wir im Ausland einkaufen und dadurch ergibt sich wieder eine Abhängigkeit. Zudem müssen wir jetzt handeln und können nicht 20-30 Jahre warten bis ein AKW gebaut wäre (sofern überhaupt die Finanzierung möglich wäre...).
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
Rural regions should not be left behind by public services. Living in the countryside should remain attractive, also for young families.
Die ländlichen Regionen sollen nicht vom Service-Public-Angebot abgehängt werden. Das Wohnen auf dem Land soll attraktiv bleiben, auch für junge Familien.
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
This would promote an incentive to use electricity sparingly. Unfortunately, it is often the case that we are more willing to change our behavior (electricity consumption) if it costs us something financially.
Dadurch würde ein Anreiz zum sparsamen Umgang mit Strom begünstigt. Leider ist es oft so, dass wir eher bereit sind unser Verhalten (Stromverbrauch) zu ändern, wenn es uns finanziell etwas kostet.
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
However, I think that the overall situation should be assessed regularly. How is the population of large carnivores developing and what are the consequences for nature and the population. Where necessary, adjustments must be made.
Ich finde aber, dass die Gesamtsituation regelmässig beurteilt werden sollte. Wie entwickelt sich der Bestand der Grossraubtiere mit welchen Auswirkungen für die Natur und Bevölkerung. Wo nötig, müssen Anpassungen vorgenommen werden.
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In this way, there are incentives to implement a more environmentally friendly agriculture, while receiving a good and regular income.
So ergeben sich Anreize um eine umweltschonendere Landwirtschaft umzusetzen und dabei einen guten und regelmässigen Verdienst zu erhalten.
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
It's high time that the purely stable housing became a thing of the past. I am thinking especially of the pigs and the chickens. We owe it to our farm animals.
Es ist höchste Zeit, dass die reinen Stallhaltungen der Vergangenheit angehören. Ich denke da vor allem an die Schweine und die Hühner. Wir sind es unseren Nutztieren schuldig.
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
We must take care of the balance of nature. Otherwise we will deteriorate our livelihoods in the long term (e.g. bee mortality, overgrowth of pests, decline of beneficial insects, etc.).
Wir müssen zum Gleichgewicht der Natur Sorge tragen. Sonst werden wir langfristig unsere Lebensgrundlagen verschlechtern (z. Bsp. Bienensterben, Überhandnahme von Schädlingen, Rückgang der Nützlinge etc.)
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
The impact of plastic has long been underestimated. We now know where it is deposited and the many problems it causes. We need to reduce single-use plastic and improve/expand recycling.
Die Auswirkungen des Plastiks wurden lange unterschätzt. Unterdessen weiss man, wo er sich überall ablagert und welche vielfältige Probleme er macht. Wir müssen Einwegplastik reduzieren und das Recycling verbessern/ausbauen.
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
Unfortunately, today it is really difficult to get a device repaired.
Leider ist es heute wirklich schwierig, ein Gerät reparieren zu lassen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |

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
I think media diversity and good-quality journalism are important. I'm also willing to pay something for that. I listen to the radio a lot and like it, and find it diverse, stimulating and enriching.
Ich finde eine Medienvielfalt sowie auch qualitativ guter Journalismus wichtig. Dafür bin ich auch bereit etwas zu zahlen. Ich höre sehr viel und gerne Radio und finde das Angebot vielfältig, anregend und bereichernd.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I think it's important to give young people over the age of 16 the opportunity to participate in votes or elections. The results often have a direct impact on their future.
Ich finde es wichtig, dass man Jugendlichen ab 16 Jahren die Möglichkeit gibt sich bei Abstimmungen oder Wahlen zu beteiligen. Oft wirken sich die Resultate ja direkt auf ihre Zukunft aus.
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 |

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
Difficult! I think that makes little sense.
Schwierig! Ich denke, dass das wenig Sinn macht.
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
I think that makes much more sense and that way we, as a European country, can play our part in the necessary measures.
Ich denke, dass das viel mehr Sinn macht und wir so als europäisches Land unseren Anteil an den nötigen Massnahmen leisten 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
In my view, it makes little sense to pretend neutrality.
Die Neutralität da vorzuschieben, macht aus meiner Sicht wenig Sinn.
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
Difficult. On the whole, we as a population should not be "monitored". The benefit of certain "recordings" I see but also, eg video surveillance of places with many criminal incidents.
Schwierig. Im Grossen und Ganzen sollen wir als Bevölkerung nicht "überwacht" werden. Den Nutzen von gewissen "Aufzeichnungen" sehe ich aber schon auch, z. Bsp. Videoüberwachung von Orten mit vielen kriminellen Vorfällen.

Are you in favor of closer relations with the European Union (EU)?

It is high time that we as Switzerland clarify the situation with the EU and bring it to a constructive level. Compromises will certainly be necessary.

Comment
The average age of the population in Switzerland has been increasing for years, which is very encouraging. However, this circumstance can no longer be financed satisfactorily in the long term under the current pension conditions. Therefore, it will probably be necessary in the long term to increase the retirement age in order to secure pensions. Unfortunately....! For me, however, it would make sense to reduce the workload somewhat after the age of 65. Such possibilities should be considered.
Die Bevölkerung in der Schweiz wird seit Jahren im Durchschnitt sehr alt, was sehr erfreulich ist. Dieser Umstand lässt sich aber langfristig zu den momentanen Altersvorsorgebedingungen nicht mehr zufriedenstellend finanzieren. Deshalb wird es wohl langfristig nötig sein, das Rentenalter zu erhöhen um die Renten zu sichern. Leider....! Sinnvoll wäre aber für mich die Möglichkeit das Arbeits-Pensum ab 65 Jahren etwas zu reduzieren. Solche Möglichkeiten sollten berücksichtigt werden.
