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
Premium reductions are only symptom control and reflect a failure of health policy. The stakeholders have formed an alliance and are driving up costs. The solution is a large-scale redistribution by the state with tax-financed health insurance premium reductions. The focus must be on fighting the causes, i.e. reducing costs: fewer hospitals, more outpatient treatment, more Spitex, cheaper drugs, no financing of minor cases.
Prämienverbilligungen sind nur Symptombekämpfung und widerspiegeln ein Scheitern der Gesundheitspolitik. Die Interessensvertreter haben sich verbündet und treiben die Kosten hoch. Das Ventil ist eine staatliche Grossumverteilung mit steuerfinanzierten Krankenkassen-Prämienverbilligungen. Der Fokus muss bei der Ursachenbekämpfung liegen, sprich die Senkung der Kosten: weniger Spitäler, mehr ambulante Behandlungen, mehr Spitex, günstigere Medikamente, keine Finanzierung von Bagatell-Fällen
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
Sovereignty for each person, also with regard to pensions. Individual life models must not be disadvantaged. That's why I'm in favor of an individual pension for everyone.
Souveränität für jede Person auch bei der Rente. Einzelne Lebensmodelle dürfen nicht benachteiligt werden. Daher befürworte ich eine Individualrente für alle.
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
The redistribution in the 2nd pillar must be stopped, it is nothing else than a pension theft of the now paying generation, especially the 20 to 50 year olds. YES to full freedom of movement at all times, i.e.: equal employer contribution rates regardless of the age of the employee (today there is massive discrimination against the older generation), no obligation to join the employer's pension fund, own investment strategy, lump sum withdrawal or individual pension solution from age 50.
Die Umverteilung in der 2. Säule muss gestoppt werden, sie ist nichts anderes als ein Rentenklau der nun einzahlenden Generation v.a. der 20 bis 50-Jährigen. JA zur voller Freizügigkeit zu allen Zeiten, sprich: Gleiche Beitragssätze der Arbeitgeber unabhängig vom Alter des Arbeitnehmers (heute besteht eine massive Diskriminierung der älteren Generation), kein Anschlusszwang bei der Pensionskasse des Arbeitgebers, eigene Anlagestrategie, Kapitalbezug oder individuelle Rentenlösung ab Alter 50.
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
Paid parental leave is important. Parents should be able to freely divide this among themselves within a period after the birth.
Bezahlte Elternzeit ist wichtig. Die Eltern sollen diese innerhalb einer Frist nach der Geburt frei unter sich aufteilen können.
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
Basically, this is not a state task, and certainly not at the federal level with a new, complex watering can principle. Non-profit housing construction is, if anything, a task at the cantonal or, even better, municipal level. That is, where people live and work.
Grundsätzlich ist das keine Staatsaufgabe, und sicher nicht auf Bundesebene mit einem neuen, komplexen Giesskannenprinzip. Der gemeinnützige Wohnungsbau ist, wenn schon, eine Aufgabe auf Ebene Kanton oder besser sogar Gemeinde. Dort nämlich, wo gewohnt und gelebt wird.
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
As an unvaccinated person, I have experienced discrimination for the first time in my life.... The integrity of the body is a fundamental right for all. Compulsory vaccination for any future medical issue (epidemic, pandemic) is to be categorically rejected and fought with all means.
Als Ungeimpfter habe ich in meinem Leben zum ersten Mal eine Diskriminierung erlebt.. Die Unversehrtheit des Körpers ist ein Grundrecht für alle. Eine Impfpflicht bei jeder künftigen medizinischen Fragestellung (Epidemie, Pandemie) ist kategorisch abzulehnen und wird mit allen Mitteln bekämpft.
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 |

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 Council (and the Parliament) has behaved in an encroaching manner and has partially undermined fundamental rights, with the instrument of fear and with the help of the media. There are many "injuries" in the lives of individuals, families, friends and acquaintances, and disappointments in politics. Trust in politics and administration has suffered greatly. Therefore, the 2023 elections are also a referendum against the failure of those in charge during the Corona legislature.
Der Bundesrat (und das Parlament) hat sich übergriffig verhalten und die Grundrechte teilweise ausgehebelt, mit dem Instrument der Angst und mit der Hilfe der Medien. Es gibt viele „Verletzungen“ im Leben von Einzelnen, in Familien, Freund- und Bekanntschaften, und Enttäuschungen der Politik gegenüber. Das Vertrauen in Politik und Verwaltung hat stark gelitten. Daher sind die Wahlen 2023 auch ein Referendum gegen das Versagen der Verantwortlichen während der Corona-Legislatur.
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
I am in favor of the sovereignty of the cantons in health policy. They should cooperate pragmatically and regionally. There are too many hospitals, especially those under public law. The losses and write-offs financed with tax money are horrendous (see cantonal hospital Aargau, Waid/Triemli in the city of Zurich, hospital Uster ZH). It takes courage to dismantle the over-regulated hospital landscape.
Ich bin für die Souveränität der Kantone bei der Gesundheitspolitik. Sie sollen pragmatisch und regional zusammenarbeiten. Es gibt zu viele Spitäler, v.a. öffentlich-rechtliche. Die mit Steuergeldern finanzierten Verluste und Abschreibungen sind horrend (siehe Kantonsspital Aargau, Waid/Triemli in der Stadt Zürich, Spital Uster ZH). Es braucht den Mut, die überregulierte Spitallandschaft zu zerschlagen.

|---|---|---|---|
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
Integration into the complex state system of Switzerland (of which we can be proud) takes time and, above all, the will of the individual. Naturalization is the final step in a successful integration process, in which language and participation in our society are crucial.
Die Integration in das komplexe Staatssystem Schweiz (auf das wir stolz sein dürfen) braucht Zeit und vor allem der Wille der/des Einzelnen. Eine Einbürgerung steht am Schluss eines geglückten Integrationsprozesses, bei dem die Sprache und ein Mitwirken in unserer Gesellschaft entscheidend sind.

Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
There are two biological sexes. In a non-discriminatory society, gender is of secondary importance, since rights and obligations (e.g. military service, civilian service) are the same for everyone.
Es gibt zwei biologische Geschlechter. In einer diskriminierungslosen Gesellschaft ist das Geschlecht von untergeordneter Bedeutung, da Rechte und Pflichten (z.B. Militärdienst, Zivildienst) für alle gleich sind.

Make the rules for renewable energy less strict

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
With the exception of reservoirs (increase of dam walls) and new run-of-river power plants. The disfigurement of the (alpine) environment, but also in the canton of Zurich, by wind power and photovoltaics is to be strictly rejected. Above all, it has not been thought through how the energy produced in these remote regions can be fed into the power grid with little loss and at low cost.
Mit Ausnahme bei den Stauseen (Erhöhung der Staumauern) und neuen Laufwasserkraftwerken. Die Verschandelung der (alpinen) Umwelt, aber auch im Kanton Zürich, durch Windkraft und Fotovoltaik ist strikte abzulehnen. Vor allem ist auch nicht durchdacht, wie die in diesen abgelegenen Regionen produzierte Energie mit wenig Verlusten und bei tiefen Kosten ins Stromnetz eingespiesen werden können.

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 is against any logis of the market and makes the production factor energy more expensive for the local industry and thus harms Switzerland as a factory location with the many jobs that demonstrably create added value. Instead, the framework conditions should be created to enable reindustrialization in Switzerland. For this, exactly the opposite is needed: cheap energy.
Dies ist gegen jegliche Logis des Marktes und verteuert den Produktionsfaktor Energie für die hiesige Industrie und schadet somit dem Werkplatz Schweiz mit den vielen Arbeitsplätzen, die nachweislich einen Mehrwert schaffen. Es sollten vielmehr die Rahmenbedingungen geschaffen werden, eine Reindustrialisierung in der Schweiz zu ermöglichen. Dafür braucht es genau das Gegenteil: günstige Energie.

Comment
The administrative costs of the AHV and the social insurance institutions must be reduced. High and very high incomes should be possible in a free market economy. They contribute significantly to the financing of old-age pensions. An important step is to establish an "equal retirement age for all". Abuse must be punished (especially payments to recipients abroad, periodic checks). Social benefits must be simplified in principle.
Die Verwaltungskosten der AHV bzw. der Sozialversicherungsanstalten sind zu senken. Hohe und sehr hohe Einkommen dürfen in einer freien Marktwirtschaft möglich sein. Sie finanzieren die Altersvorsorge massgeblich mit. Als wichtiger Schritt ist ein „gleiches Rentenalter für alle“ zu etablieren. Missbrauch ist zu ahnden (v.a. Zahlungen an Empfängerinnen und Empfänger im Ausland, periodische Kontrollen). Sozialleistungen sind grundsätzlich zu vereinfachen.
