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 health of the population is important, so everyone should have access to good health insurance. However, reforms are needed. 50 health insurance companies are too many. Consolidation and cost reduction are needed.
Die Gesundheit der Bevölkerung ist wichtig, deshalb soll jedermann Zugang zu einer guten Krankenversicherung haben. Es braucht jedoch Reformen. 50 Krankenkassen sind zu viel. Es braucht ein Konsolidierung und Kostenreduktion.
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
incentives for the third pillar should rather be created
es sollten eher Anreize für die dritte Säule geschaffen werden
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
We are getting older and older, and this should be countered by raising the retirement age. On the other hand, interest rates have been extremely low in recent years, which was one of the reasons why the minimum conversion rate was lowered. Since last year, however, interest rates have been rising again, which means that pension funds are also benefiting again. Pensioners are always the losers from inflation, which is why I am against a reduction in the minimum conversion rate.
Wir werden immer älter, dem sollte mit einer Erhöhung des Rentenalters entgegengewirkt werden. Andererseits war das Zinsniveau in den letzten Jahren enorm tief, was ein Mitgrund war, dass man den Mindestumwandlungssatz gesenkt hat. Seit letztem Jahr steigen die Zinsen jedoch wieder, wodurch auch die Pensionskassen wieder profitieren. Rentner sind immer die Verlierer der Inflation, deshalb bin ich gegen eine Reduzierung des Mindestumwandlungssatzes.

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 body needs sugar to a certain extent. Too much sugar is unhealthy. But too much fat (fast food) is also unhealthy. Instead of a tax, what is needed is an educational campaign for healthy nutrition (e.g. in schools, education).
Der Körper braucht Zucker zu einem bestimmten Mass. Zuviel Zucker ist ungesund. Aber auch z.B. zuviel Fett (Fastfood) ist ungesund. Anstelle einer steuerlichen Abgabe braucht es eher Aufklärungskampagnen für gesunde Ernährung (z.B. in den Schulen, Ausbildung)

Should the federal government raise the requirements for the gymnasiale matura?

Should the conditions for naturalization be relaxed (e.g., shorter residence period)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Die Wirtschaft braucht hoch qualifiziere Arbeitskräfte. Die Schweiz lebt von der Inovationskapazität und technologischen Vorsprung zu andern Ländern
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
The asylum problem must be tackled at the root so that the asylum seekers do not come at all.
Das Asylproblem muss an der Wurzel angepackt werden, damit die Asylanten gar nicht kommen.

Legalize cannabis use

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
in Thailand, the use of cannabis was recently legalized, which led to many problems. People smoke on the street and there have been deaths (Swiss tourists). I rather see a partial legalization, e.g. like in Holland, cannabis consumption in certified pubs.
in Thailand wurde der Konsum von Cannabis kürzlich legalisiert, was zu vielen Problemen führte. Es wird auf der Strasse geraucht, und es hat auch schon Todesfälle gegeben (Schweizer Touristen). Ich sehe eher eine Teil-Legalisierung, z.B. wie in Holland, Cannabis Konsum in zertifizierten Lokalen.

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 |

A free market economy with profit incentives is needed, but the state must step in to protect the socially disadvantaged classes. (pensioners, sick people, low income etc.). Articulated market economy would be more the right term.
es braucht zwar eine freie Marktwirtschaft mit Gewinnanreizen, aber der Staat muss einlenken um die sozial benachteiligten Schichten zu schützen. (Rentner, Kranke, low income etc). Gelenkte Marktwirtschaft wäre eher der richtige Begriff.

People are getting older, mainly thanks to increasingly better medical care. We are living healthier lives and can therefore work longer. The equation of getting older and working less does not add up.
Leute werden älter, vor allem dank einer immer besseren medizinischen Versorgung. Wir leben gesünder, und können deshalb auch länger arbeiten. Die Gleichung älter werden und weniger arbeiten geht nicht auf.
