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
No, even more redistribution will not solve the problem here either. Rather, we should discuss the introduction of a deductible rate of CHF 10,000. It should not be that people who are allowed to consider themselves healthy, especially young people, pay ever higher premiums, never receive benefits and at the same time can no longer afford other expenses that are not included in the KVG (e.g. dentist, mental health).
Nein, noch mehr Umverteilung löst auch hier das Problem nicht. Viel eher sollten wir über die Einführung einer Franchise von CHF 10'000.- diskutieren. Es sollte nicht sein, dass Menschen, die sich gesund schätzen dürfen, gerade junge, immer höhere Prämien bezahlen, nie Leistungen beziehen und sich gleichzeitig andere Ausgaben, die nicht im KVG enthalten sind (bspw. Zahnarzt, mentale Gesundheit) nicht mehr leisten können.
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
The marriage penalty should finally be completely abolished (likewise with taxes --> introduction of individual taxation).
Die Heiratsstrafe soll endlich vollumfänglich abgeschafft werden (ebenso bei den Steuern --> Einführung der Individualbesteuerung).
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
Yes, in order to take into account the increased life expectancy and not to endanger the pensions of future generations even more, the BVG reform is fine. However, long-term measures are now urgently needed in order to be able to do justice to all generations!
Ja, um der gestiegenen Lebenserwartung Rechnung zu tragen, und um die Renten künftiger Generationen nicht noch mehr zu gefährden, geht die BVG-Reform in Ordnung. Es braucht nun jedoch dringend langfristige Massnahmen, um allen Generationen gerecht werden zu können!
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
No, state-funded parental leave does not need to be expanded further. Employers can of course offer more extensive solutions here if necessary.
Nein, die staatlich finanzierte Elternzeit muss nicht weiter ausgebaut werden. Arbeitgeber können hier bei Bedarf natürlich weitergehende Lösungen anbieten.
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, it should rather not drive up rents further itself through a sensible monetary policy of the National Bank. All in all, less government intervention in the construction and housing market would enable more favorable, more affordable housing.
Nein, viel eher sollte er durch eine vernünftige Geldpolitik der Nationalbank die Mietzinse nicht selber weiter in die Höhe treiben. Insgesamt würden weniger staatliche Interventionen auf dem Bau- und Wohnungsmarkt günstigeres, bezahlbareres Wohnen ermöglichen.
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
Personally, I am in favor of vaccinations, especially those that have been tried and tested for a long time. However, it should always remain here with recommendations: Man is not an animal, no human being has to impose on another what kind of means should get into his body. Especially not children.
Ich persönlich befürworte Impfungen, gerade lange erprobte. Jedoch sollte es hier immer bei Empfehlungen bleiben: Der Mensch ist kein Tier, kein Mensch hat einem anderen aufzuzwingen, was für Mittel in dessen Körper gelangen sollen. Schon gar nicht Kindern.
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
Once again, some believe that the solution to a problem of a few affected people is to punish everyone, and via yet another new tax simply more money for the state. This is absurd and does not solve anything, moreover, the effect would probably be similar to the tobacco tax (people continue to consume exactly the same, the state simply benefits from the additional revenue).
Erneut glauben einige, die Lösung für ein Problem von einigen Betroffenen sei eine Bestrafung aller, sowie über noch eine neue Steuer ganz einfach mehr Geld für den Staat. Das ist widersinnig und löst gar nichts, zudem wäre der Effekt vermutlich ähnlich wie bei der Tabaksteuer (es wird genau gleich weiter konsumiert, der Staat profitiert einfach von den zusätzlichen Einnahmen).
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
Overall, solutions must be found to defuse the premium explosion: E.g. also by increasing the maximum deductible (e.g. deductible of CHF 10,000).
Es müssen insgesamt Lösungen gefunden werden, um die Prämienexplosion zu entschärfen: Z.B. auch durch eine Erhöhung der Maximalfranchise (bspw. Franchise von CHF 10'000.-).
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 Epidemics Act in its current form contains too many sweeping formulations that were interpreted by the Federal Council (as feared in 2013) on a whim during the Corona pandemic. Likewise, the constitutional emergency law was relied upon in a sometimes very questionable manner. Times of crisis call for special measures, but citizens deserve at least transparency as to where the federal government's powers begin in times of crisis and where they end.
Das Epidemiengesetz in heutiger Form enthält zu viele pauschale Formulierungen, die in der Corona-Pandemie vom Bundesrat (wie 2013 befürchtet) nach Lust und Laune interpretiert wurden. Ebenso wurde auf z.T. sehr fragwürdige Weise auf das verfassungsmässige Notrecht abgestützt. Krisenzeiten bedingen besondere Massnahmen, aber Bürgerin und Bürger verdienen zumindest die Transparenz, wo die Kompetenzen des Bundes in Krisenzeiten beginnen, und wo sie überhaupt aufhören.
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
No, planning should be decentralized and close to the people.
Nein, die Planung soll dezentral und bürgernah erfolgen.
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
As long as the concept is balanced and all students are supported and challenged according to their potential, definitely.
Solange das Konzept ausgeglichen gestaltet ist, alle Schülerinnen und Schüler ihrem Potential entsprechend gefördert und gefordert werden, auf jeden Fall.
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
In the last 20 years or so, the tertiary education level has become more flexible (easier transfer and more opportunities for graduates of universities of applied sciences, universities of applied sciences, etc.), but also increasingly diluted. This development should be slowed down somewhat; a HF, for example (1.5 days per week over 3 years), is never equivalent to a five-year course of study preceded by a four-year Matura.
In den letzten rund 20 Jahren wurde die tertiäre Bildungsstufe zwar flexibler (einfacherer Übertritt und mehr Möglichkeiten für Absolventinnen und Absolventen von Fachhochschulen, HF etc.), jedoch auch zunehmend verwässert. Diese Entwicklung soll etwas gebremst werden, eine HF bspw. (1,5 Tage pro Woche über 3 Jahre) ist niemals gleichwertig mit einem fünfjährigen Studium, dem eine vierjährige Maturität vorausgeht.
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
Rather, it must be ensured that the curriculum in regular classes already takes into account the individual backgrounds of students and that teaching staff also respond to the individual accordingly.
Viel eher muss gewährleistet sein, dass bereits der Lehrplan im regulären Unterricht die individuellen Hintergründe der Schülerinnen und Schüler berücksichtigt und auch das Lehrpersonal entsprechend auf das Individuum eingeht.
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 feel that today's requirements for naturalization are neither too lax nor too strict.
Ich empfinde die heutigen Anforderungen an eine Einbürgerung weder als zu lasch, noch als zu streng.
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
Immigration of qualified workers (as well as refugees!) should always be possible, but with moderation.
Zuwanderung von qualifizierten Arbeitskräften (sowie von Flüchtlingen!) soll immer möglich sein, jedoch mit Mass.
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
Depending on the origin and reason for migration, yes, especially if this can counteract the drama in the Mediterranean.
Je nach Herkunft und Migrationsgrund ja, v.a., wenn damit dem Drama im Mittelmeer entgegengewirkt werden kann.
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
Anyone who has lived in Switzerland for a long time, is well integrated into society and knows how the political processes work can become a naturalized citizen and thus obtain the right to vote and stand for election.
Wer seit längerer Zeit in der Schweiz wohnt, gut in die Gesellschaft integriert ist und über die Funktionsweise der politischen Prozesse Bescheid weiss, kann sich einbürgern lassen und somit das Stimm- und Wahlrecht erlangen.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I personally do not consume drugs, but it is none of my business if someone else does. A ban that is as obviously ineffective as that of cannabis is also completely out of place. Legalization could eradicate acquisitive crime and make ingredients more transparent and safer. The focus of government action should be on youth prevention here, and nowhere else.
Ich persönlich konsumiere keine Drogen, jedoch geht es mich nichts an, wenn jemand anderes dies tut. Ein Verbot, welches so offensichtlich unwirksam ist wie jenes von Cannabis, ist zudem völlig fehl am Platz. Durch eine Legalisierung könnte die Beschaffungskriminalität ausgemerzt werden und Inhaltsstoffe würden transparenter und sicherer. Der Fokus staatlichen Handelns soll hier auf der Jugendprävention liegen, und nirgendwo sonst.
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
In the worst case scenario, this would be better than the person concerned seeking suicide by other means. However, the conditions for this would have to be narrowly defined, and the person concerned would have to be clearly capable of making a judgment in any case. Finally, this would be the first (and only) form of legalized killing.
Das wäre im schlimmsten Fall der Fälle besser, als wenn die betroffene Person den Suizid auf anderem Wege sucht. Die Voraussetzungen dafür müssten jedoch eng definiert sein, die betroffene Person müsste in jedem Fall klar urteilsfähig sein. Schliesslich wäre dies die erste (und einzige) Form einer legalisierten Tötung.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The unambiguous biological sexes are male and female; beyond that, every human being is free to shape his or her gender identity as that person wishes. At best, the official, "state gender" could be abolished altogether, if the equality of the rights of all people would be better achieved.
Die eindeutigen biologischen Geschlechter lauten männlich und weiblich, darüber hinaus ist jeder Mensch frei, seine Geschlechtsidentität so zu gestalten, wie dieser Mensch das möchte. Allenfalls könnte man das offizielle, "staatliche Geschlecht" gleich ganz abschaffen, wenn somit die Gleichstellung der Rechte aller Menschen besser erreicht würde.
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
In any case, anything else would be unjust discrimination. The state does not have to dictate to anyone whom they may love or how they may love.
Auf jeden Fall, alles andere wäre unrechte Diskriminierung. Der Staat hat niemandem vorzuschreiben, wen er lieben darf, oder wie sie lieben darf.
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
Especially in times of crisis, the pressure on citizens, as well as on the economy, must be reduced. Likewise, after accumulating debts of around 100 billion francs during the Covid period, the federal government should now make sensitive savings.
Gerade in Krisenzeiten muss der Druck auf Bürgerinnen und Bürger, ebenso auf die Wirtschaft, verringert werden. Ebenso sollte der Bund, nachdem in der Covid-Zeit Schulden in Höhe von gegen 100 Milliarden Franken angehäuft wurden, nun empfindlich sparen.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The marriage penalty is to be abolished completely; the state is not to favor or punish any form of life.
Die Heiratsstrafe ist vollständig abzuschaffen, der Staat hat keine Lebensform zu bevorzugen oder zu bestrafen.
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
Then the same money would be taxed a third time: After income tax, wealth tax, and then inheritance tax? No, the state does not have to enrich itself a third time.
Dann würde das gleiche Geld zum dritten Mal besteuert: Nach der Einkommens- die Vermögenssteuer, und dann noch eine Erbschaftssteuer? Nein, der Staat hat sich nicht ein drittes Mal zu bereichern.
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
No, this is already the case to a high degree today. Tax competition between the cantons should continue to be guaranteed.
Nein, das ist heute bereits zu einem hohen Grade der Fall. Der Steuerwettbewerb der Kantone soll weiterhin gewährleistet werden.
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
Unfortunately, what sounds good and fair does not work: As numerous real-life experiments (e.g. most recently in the canton of Neuchâtel) have shown, a general minimum wage only leads to more unemployment, and also favors inflation.
Was gut und fair klingt, funktioniert leider nicht: Wie zahlreiche Experimente im realen Leben (z.B. neustens im Kanton Neuchâtel) gezeigt haben, führt ein allgemeiner Mindestlohn lediglich zu mehr Arbeitslosigkeit, und begünstigt zudem die Inflation.
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
Stricter capital requirements: Yes.
Strengere Eigenkapitalvorschriften: Ja.
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
Free choice for free citizens!
Freie Wahl für Freie Bürger!
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
As long as the population continues to grow rapidly and prices continue to skyrocket, that has to be an option.
Solange die Bevölkerung weiterhin rasant wächst und die Preise weiter in die Höhe schiessen, muss das eine Option sein.
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

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
I am fundamentally opposed to technology bans; the best technologies (in every respect) should prevail on the market. Since low-emission passenger cars are desired by consumers, the market is increasingly offering corresponding vehicles.
Ich lehne Technologieverbote grundsätzlich ab, die (in jeglicher Hinsicht) besten Technologien sollen sich auf dem Markt durchsetzen. Da emmissionsarme Personenwagen von Konsumentinnen und Konsumenten gewünscht werden, bietet der Markt zunehmend entsprechende Fahrzeuge an.
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
Incentives, agreements between economic partners and overall cooperation work better than bans, restrictions and the eternal finger of admonition from daddy state.
Anreize, Vereinbarungen zwischen Wirtschaftspartnern und insgesamt ein Miteinander funktionieren besser als Verbote, Einschränkungen und der ewige Mahnfinger von Papa Staat.
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
Yes, but not without limits.
Ja, aber nicht grenzenlos.
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
Instead of thousands of wind and solar plants, which disfigure the landscape and do not provide constant energy, Switzerland's electricity needs could continue to be met by a few nuclear power plants. The newer generations are also even safer and more efficient. Moreover, electric vehicles, for example, only make sense if they are also powered by clean electricity, which nuclear power plants provide in contrast to coal or gas, for example.
Anstelle tausender Wind- und Solaranlagen, welche die Landschaft verschandeln und keine konstante Energie liefern, könnte der Strombedarf der Schweiz weiterhin mit einigen wenigen Kernkraftwerken gedeckt werden. Die neueren Generationen sind zudem noch sicherer und effizienter. Zudem sind z.B. Elektrofahrzeuge erst dann sinnvoll, wenn sie auch mit sauberem Strom betrieben werden, welchen Kernkraftwerke im Gegensatz zu z.B. Kohle oder Gas 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

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In the matter of artificial intelligence, as well as monopoly market power of social media platforms, politics should remain vigilant, but - another topic - freedom of speech should not be further restricted (e.g. by "measures against the fight against disinformation" - Who determines what is disinformation, who is master of truth? --> The citizen, via the competition of ideas, and not the state!).
In Sachen künstliche Intelligenz, sowie Monopol-Marktmacht von Social Media Plattformen sollte die Politik wachsam bleiben, jedoch - anderes Thema - sollte die Redefreiheit nicht weiter eingeschränkt werden (z.B. durch "Massnahmen gegen die Bekämpfung von Desinformation" - Wer bestimmt, was Desinformation ist, wer ist Herr der Wahrheit? --> Der Bürger, über den Wettstreit der Ideen, und nicht der Staat!).
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
The Serafe fees and the SRG are no longer appropriate in their current form. It is disconcerting that SRF, for example, shows its own productions on YouTube, some of which are 30 minutes long, as advertisements, or that it has "Let's Plays" hired in professional television studios. This is not compatible with the SRG's performance mandate!
Die Serafe-Gebühren und die SRG sind in ihrer aktuellen Form nicht mehr zeitgemäss. Es ist befremdend, dass SRF bspw. auf YouTube Eigenproduktionen von z.T. 30min als Werbung schaltet, oder dass es "Let's Plays" in professionellen Fernsehstudios anstellen lässt. Das ist nicht mit dem Leistungsauftrag der SRG vereinbar!

In times of crisis, you have to save - Who is going to pay the CHF 100 bn. Corona debt, and when? In addition, the ever-increasing public spending ratio must be stopped.
In Krisenzeiten muss man sparen - Wer soll die gegen CHF 100 Mia. Corona-Schulden bezahlen, und wann? Zudem muss der immer grösser werdenden Staatsquote Einhalt geboten werden.

We have some catching up to do here, especially in the current security situation in Europe. The DDPS is the only department whose expenditure has fallen steadily since 1990.
Hier haben wir Nachholbedarf, insbesondere in der aktuellen Sicherheitslage in Europa. Das VBS ist das einzige Departement, dessen Ausgaben seit 1990 stetig sanken.

I would not cut back here - Switzerland fulfills important functions in international development cooperation, and this should not suffer as a result of our crisis.
Hier würde ich den Rotstift nicht ansetzen - die Schweiz erfüllt wichtige Funktionen in der internationalen Entwicklungszusammenarbeit, diese soll unter unserer Krise nicht leiden.

Since the introduction of the AHV in 1948, the retirement age has never been raised, but life expectancy has fortunately increased significantly. Now the calculation no longer works, and there are only 3 adjusting screws: Increase contributions? No, not more wage deductions. Cut pensions? No, pensioners should be able to live in dignity. Increase the retirement age? Yes, adjusting to increased life expectancy is fair and feasible. Certain industries can continue to agree on earlier retirements.
Seit Einführung der AHV 1948 wurde das Rentenalter nie erhöht, die Lebenserwartung stieg erfreulicherweise jedoch deutlich. Nun geht die Rechnung nicht mehr auf, und es gibt lediglich 3 Stellschrauben: Beiträge erhöhen? Nein, nicht noch mehr Lohnabzüge. Renten kürzen? Nein, Rentnerinnen und Rentner sollen in Würde leben können. Rentenalter erhöhen? Ja, eine Anpassung an die gestiegene Lebenserwartung ist fair und machbar. Bestimmte Branchen können weiterhin frühere Pensionierungen vereinbaren.
