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
Affordable health insurance premiums by abolishing the tariff system, compulsory contracting and compulsory health insurance instead of financing excessive health care costs through tax money
bezahlbare Krankenkassenprämien durch Abschaffung des Tarifsystems, des Vertragszwangs und des Krankenkassenobligatoriums statt Finanzierung überhöhter Gesundheitskosten durch Steuergelder
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 contributions and the pension amount are to be determined individually according to the insurance principle for the individual insured person according to his or her needs by private pension institutions
die Beiträge und die Rentenhöhe sollen individuell nach dem Versicherungsprinzip für den einzelnen Versicherten nach seinen Bedürfnissen festgelegt werden durch private Vorsorgeeinrichtungen
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
Voluntary pension solutions with consideration of individual needs and risks instead of fixed conversion rates
freiwillige Vorsorgelösungen mit Berücksichtigung der individuellen Bedürfnisse und Risiken statt festen Umwandlungsätzen
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
Children are a private matter and neither the employer nor the state have to take part in it
Kinder sind Privatangelegenheit und weder der Arbeitgeber noch der Staat haben sich daran zu beteiligen
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
affordable housing can be achieved by abolishing tenant protection and liberalizing building laws
bezahlbares Wohnen kann erreicht werden durch Abschaffung des Mieterschutzes und Liberalisierung des Baurechts
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
Art. 10 para. 2 BV: "Everyone has the right to personal freedom, in particular the right to physical and mental integrity". Art. 11 para. 1 BV: "Children and adolescents have the right to special protection of their integrity and to the promotion of their development."
Art. 10 Abs. 2 BV: "Jeder Mensch hat das Recht auf persönliche Freiheit, insbesondere auf körperliche und geistige Unversehrtheit" Art. 11 Abs. 1 BV: "Kinder und Jugendliche haben Anspruch auf besonderen Schutz ihrer Unversehrtheit und auf Förderung ihrer Entwicklung."
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
Everyone can decide for themselves how much sugary food they want to eat without being penalized for it, even if it harms their health.
Jeder kann selber entscheiden, wie viel zuckerhaltige Lebensmittel er zu sich nehmen möchte, ohne dafür bestraft zu werden, auch wenn er dadurch seiner Gesundheit schadet.
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
Health insurance premiums would become affordable by abolishing the tariff system, the obligation to contract and the compulsory health insurance. Then everyone could insure their risks according to their needs and treatment costs would decrease massively through competition while maintaining the same quality.
bezahlbar würden Krankenkassenprämien durch die Abschaffung des Tarifsystems, des Vertragszwangs und des Krankenkassenobligatoriums. Dann könnte jeder seine Risiken nach seinen Bedürfnissen versichern und die Behandlungskosten würden durch den Wettbewerb massiv sinken bei gleicher Qualität
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 has considerably exceeded its competences by means of emergency law and violated fundamental rights. This must never happen again!
Der Bundesrat hat seine Kompetenzen mittels Notrecht erheblich überschritten und die Grundrechte verletzt. Das darf nie mehr vorkommen!
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
In the healthcare sector, as in other sectors of the economy, supply and demand must determine which hospital capacities are needed where. The current planned hospital planning system is demonstrably not working, neither at the level of the cantons nor at the federal level.
Im Gesundheitswesen muss, wie andere Wirtschaftszweigen auch, Angebot und Nachfrage entscheiden, welche Spitalkapazitäten wo benötigt werden. Die aktuelle planwirtschaftliche Spitalplanung funktioniert nachweislich nicht, weder auf der Ebene Kantone noch auf Bundesebene.
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
Privatization of the school system and free school choice would allow parents to send their child to the school that is most appropriate for their child's needs. For some children, inclusive schools may be beneficial, others would feel more comfortable in an environment designed for their abilities, the child himself and his parents can judge that, authorities certainly cannot.
Privatisierung des Schulsystems und freie Schulwahl würden es den Eltern ermöglichen, ihr Kind auf die Schule zu schicken, die für die Bedürfnisse ihres Kindes am geeignetsten ist. Für einige Kinder mögen integrative Schulen förderlich sein, andere würden sich in einem auf ihre Fähigkeiten ausgelegten Umfeld wohler fühlen, das können das Kind selbst und seine Eltern beurteilen, Behörden mit Sicherheit nicht.
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
Private high schools in a market-based education system could decide for themselves what requirements they demand for a Matura degree. And students could choose between a Matura at a school with lower requirements and a lower reputation or a more demanding Matura at a school with a good reputation. So could universities and employers.
Private Gymnasien in einem marktwirtschaftlichen Bildungssystem könnten selber entscheiden, welche Anforderungen sie verlangen für einen Maturitätsabschluss. Und die Schüler könnten wählen zwischen einer Matura an einer Schule mit geringeren Anforderungen und geringerer Reputation oder einer anspruchsvolleren Matura an einer Schule mit guter Reputation. Ebenso die Universitäten und Arbeitgeber.
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
Supporting children is the responsibility of parents, not the state. Financial equality of opportunity exists automatically in a private-sector school system because the schools and the business community are interested in talent and, in their own interests, provide appropriate funding in the form of scholarships and student loans.
Die Förderung der Kinder ist Aufgabe der Eltern, nicht des Staates. Die finanzielle Chancengleichheit besteht in einem privatwirtschaftlichen Schulsystem automatisch, da die Schulen und die Wirtschaft an Talenten interessiert sind und im eigenen Interesse entsprechende Mittel in Form von Stipendien und Studiendarlehen zur Verfügung stellen.
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
Naturalization should be open to anyone who identifies with Switzerland and contributes to the community, regardless of the length of residence. On the other hand, Swiss citizens should be able to be expatriated if they violate the fundamental values of our constitutional state and our democracy, even if they have no other citizenship. The decision on naturalization or expatriation should remain with the cantons without standardization at the federal level.
Die Einbürgerung soll jedem offen stehen, der sich mit der Schweiz identifiziert und seinen Beitrag an die Gemeinschaft leistet, unabhängig von der Dauer des Wohnsitzes. Hingegen sollen Schweizer Staatsbürger ausgebürgert werden können, wenn sie gegen die Grundwerte unseres Rechtsstaats und unserer Demokratie verstossen, auch wenn sie keine andere Staatsbürgerschaft besitzen. Der Entscheid über Ein- oder Ausbürgerung soll zudem bei den Kantonen verbleiben ohne Vereinheitlichung auf Bundesebene.
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
Everyone is free to live and work where they want, regardless of state borders. Instead of a planned economy with state quotas, I call for open borders and free immigration, but without access to social services. A radical reduction of social benefits leads to the migration of unproductive foreigners and Swiss, thus avoiding the feared overpopulation.
Jeder Mensch ist frei zu leben und zu arbeiten wo er will, unabhängig von staatlichen Grenzen. Statt Planwirtschaft mit staatlichen Kontingenten fordere ich offene Grenzen und freie Zuwanderung, allerdings ohne Zugang zum Sozialwesen. Ein radikaler Abbau von Sozialleistungen führt zur Abwanderung von unproduktiven Ausländern und Schweizern wodurch die befürchtete Überbevölkerung vermieden wird.
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
Asylum seekers also have the right to freedom of settlement, which is violated by state "accommodation", regardless of whether this takes place within or outside Europe. More important would be a free access of migrants to the labor market and no access to social benefits, so that they settle where they are needed and can make their own living in security.
Auch Asylsuchende haben das Recht auf Niederlassungsfreiheit, welche durch eine staatliche "Unterbringung" verletzt wird, unabhängig ob diese innerhalb oder ausserhalb Europas erfolgt. Wichtiger wäre ein freier Zugang von Migranten zum Arbeitsmarkt und kein Zugang zu Sozialleistungen, damit sich diese dort niederlassen, wo sie benötigt werden und ihren Lebensunterhalt in Sicherheit selber bestreiten können.
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
Democracy is not a question of citizenship, but of being personally affected by popular decisions. Therefore, foreign citizens should also be allowed to participate in elections and referendums if they have their permanent residence in Switzerland and contribute to the common good, e.g. through their work, taxes, etc.
Demokratie ist keine Frage der Staatsbürgerschaft, sondern der persönlichen Betroffenheit durch Volksentscheide. Deshalb sollen auch ausländische Staatsbürger an Wahlen und Abstimmungen teilnehmen dürfen, wenn sie ihren Wohnsitz dauerhaft in der Schweiz haben und ihren Beitrag an das Gemeinwohl leisten, z.B. durch ihre Arbeitsleistung, Steuern etc.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The consumption, trade, cultivation and import of all substances should be legalized, not only cannabis, without state prevention measures, incentive taxes, etc., because the responsible citizen can decide for himself, without paternalism and education by the state. And with the risk that subsequent health costs will not be covered by his health insurance, if the latter is allowed to make a corresponding reservation.
Der Konsum, Handel, Anbau und Import aller Substanzen sollen legalisiert werden, nicht nur Cannabis, ohne staatliche Präventionsmassnahmen, Lenkungsabgaben etc., weil der mündige Bürger selber entscheiden kann, ohne Bevormundung und Erziehung durch den Staat. Und mit dem Risiko, dass gesundheitliche Folgekosten von seiner Krankenversicherung nicht übernommen werden, wenn diese einen entsprechenden Vorbehalt machen darf.
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
According to Art. 10 para. 1 BV, every person has the right to life, but not the obligation to do so, and can decide on this himself, including its end. The use of active euthanasia by professionals allows a dignified demise without suffering for oneself and fellow human beings, as is usually the case with unaccompanied suicide.
Gemäss Art. 10 Abs. 1 BV hat jeder Mensch das Recht auf Leben, nicht aber die Pflicht dazu, und kann selber über dieses entscheiden, auch über dessen Ende. Die Inanspruchnahme aktiver Sterbehilfe durch Fachpersonen erlaubt eine würdige Gestaltung des Ablebens ohne Leid für sich selber und die Mitmenschen, wie dies beim unbegleiteten Suizid meist der Fall ist.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Better than introducing a third official gender would be the abolition of the official gender. Whether male, female or something else is a question of biology and personal identification and not a task of the state.
Besser als ein drittes amtliches Geschlecht einzuführen wäre die Abschaffung des amtlichen Geschlechts. Ob männlich, weiblich oder etwas Anders ist eine Frage der Biologie und der persönlichen Identifikation und keine Staatsaufgabe.
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
If couples have to be treated equally at all. Who lives with whom and in what form is a private matter and does not require regulation or official recognition by the state.
Sofern Paare überhaupt gleichgestellt werden müssen. Wer mit wem zusammenlebt und in welcher Form, ist Privatsache und bedarf keiner Regelung oder offiziellen Anerkennung durch den Staat.
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
Taxes are nothing other than expropriation by means of coercive measures and thus illegitimate or legalized robbery.
Steuern sind nicht Anderes als eine Enteignung mittels Zwangsmassnahmen und somit illegitim bzw. legalisierter Raub.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Private living arrangements should not affect taxation.
Die private Lebensgestaltung darf keinen Einfluss auf die Besteuerung haben.
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
The property guarantee allows the testator to determine during his lifetime how his estate is to be used.
Die Eigentumsgarantie erlaubt es dem Erblasser zu Lebzeiten selber bestimmen, wie sein Nachlass einst verwendet werden soll.
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
The NAF prevents fair competition between regions, harms the economy and innovation. Instead of an expansion, the NAF should be abolished.
Der NAF verhindert den fairen Wettbewerb zwischen den Regionen, schadet der Wirtschaft und der Innovation. Statt einem Ausbau ist der NAF abzuschaffen.
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
How much labor is worth is determined by supply and demand, not by the state.
Wie viel Arbeit wert ist, bestimmen Angebot und Nachfrage und nicht der Staat.
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
Regulation distorts competition, makes services more expensive and prevents new providers from entering the market. Regulation, on the other hand, does not contribute to the security of the financial center.
Regulierung verzerrt den Wettbewerb, verteuert Dienstleistungen und verhindert den Markteintritt neuer Anbieter. Zur Sicherheit des Finanzplatzes trägt Regulierung hingegen nicht bei.
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
Abolishing territorial monopolies lowers household electricity costs, and more attractive feed-in tariffs encourage private photovoltaic power generation without subsidies.
Eine Abschaffung der Gebietsmonopole senkt die Stromkosten der Privathaushalte und durch attraktivere Einspeisevergütungen wird die private Stromerzeugung durch Photovoltaik gefördert ohne Subventionen.
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
Liberalizing the building code will create more housing and the increased supply will lower rents.
Durch eine Liberalisierung des Baurechts wird mehr Wohnraum entstehen und durch das höhere Angebot sinken die Mieten.
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
The wage is the result of negotiations between employer and employee and varies from individual to individual. An employee who is dissatisfied with his wage negotiates with his employer or looks for another job, regardless of gender.
Der Lohn ist das Resultat der Verhandlungen zwischen Arbeitgeber und Arbeitnehmer und individuell verschieden. Ein Arbeitnehmer, der mit seinem Lohn unzufrieden ist, verhandelt mit seinem Arbeitgeber oder sucht eine andere Stelle, unabhängig vom Geschlecht.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The expansion of infrastructure is a necessity, but not necessarily a government task. Private providers expand the highways where there is demand for expansion.
Der Ausbau der Infrastruktur ist eine Notwendigkeit, aber nicht notwendig eine Staatsaufgabe. Private Anbieter bauen die Autobahnen dort aus, wo Nachfrage nach einem Ausbau besteht.
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
This technology ban prevents further development of internal combustion engines, creates competitive distortions and loss of wealth without any proven environmental benefit.
Dieses Technologieverbot verhindert die weitere Entwicklung der Verbrennungsmotoren, schafft Wettbewerbsverzerungen und Wohlstandseinbussen ohne einen nachgewiesenen Nutzen für die Umwelt.
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 and target agreements are the lesser evil than bans, but they are also an evil.
Anreize und Zielvereinbarungen sind das kleinere Übel als Verbote, aber auch ein Übel.
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 decision of whether and how to protect a landscape rests with the owner of the land, not the voter.
Der Entscheid, ob und wie eine Landschaft geschützt werden soll, liegt beim Eigentümer des Grundstücks und nicht beim Stimmbürger.
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
Any technology must be permissible if it is demanded by the market.
Jede Technologie muss zulässig sein, wenn sie vom Markt nachgefragt wird.
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
The state should not provide any public service at all, neither in the countryside nor in the city. Private providers are geared to demand and provide the same services more cost-effectively.
Der Staat soll überhaupt kein Service-Public-Angebot erbringen, weder auf dem Land noch in der Stadt. Private Anbieter richten sich nach der Nachfrage und erbringen dieselben Leistungen kostengünstiger.
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
More demand leads to higher prices. But this does not require politics, the market can do it all by itself.
Mehr Nachfrage führt zu höheren Preisen. Dazu braucht es aber keine Politik, das kann der Markt ganz alleine.
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
The local population, not the federal government, must decide on coexistence with large carnivores.
Über das Zusammenleben mit Grossraubtieren muss die lokale Bevölkerung entscheiden, nicht der Bund.
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
No farm should receive direct payments, regardless of the type of agricultural production.
Kein Betrieb soll Direktzahlungen erhalten, unabhängig von der Art der landwirtschaftlichen Produktion.
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
The type of husbandry is the responsibility of the farm and depends on the demand and the price that consumers are willing to pay.
Die Art der Haltung liegt in der Verantwortung des Betriebs und richtet sich nach der Nachfrage und dem Preis, welchen die Konsumenten bereit sind zu bezahlen.
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
Biodiversity is in the interest of each landowner and is not a federal issue.
Biodiversität liegt im Interesse des jeweiligen Grundeigentümers und ist keine Bundesangelegenheit.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Consumers can decide for themselves what quality they want to buy and at what price.
Der Konsument kann selber entscheiden, welche Qualität er zu welchem Preis kaufen möchte.
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
Yes, but by private providers without government intervention
Ja, aber durch private Anbieter ohne staatliche Eingriffe
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
Under the guise of "transparency," state censorship is to be permitted. Freedom of expression encompasses all information, regardless of its truth content. Everyone should be responsible for what they disseminate, without a state monopoly on truth.
Unter dem Deckmantel der "Transparenz" soll staatliche Zensur erlaubt werden. Meinungsfreiheit umfasst alle Informationen, unabhängig von ihrem Wahrheitsgehalt. Jeder soll selbst verantwortlich sein dafür, was er verbreitet, ohne ein staatliches Wahrheitsmonopol.
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
A small step in the right direction. But true media diversity can only be guaranteed by completely abolishing state media and compulsory fees.
Ein kleiner Schritt in die richtige Richtung. Echte Medienvielfalt kann aber nur durch eine gänzliche Abschaffung von staatlichen Medien und Zwangsgebühren gewährleistet werden.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?

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)?

Any measure to curb the rampant growth of the state is to be supported.
Jede Massnahme zu Eindämmung des ausufernden Staatswachstums ist zu befürworten.
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
The number of armed forces must correspond to the mission of the armed forces. A number of army members determined by politics is not expedient.
Der Armeebestand muss dem Auftrag der Armee entsprechen. Eine durch die Politik festgesetzte Zahl Armeeangehöriger ist nicht zielführend.
Strengthening cooperation between the Swiss army and NATO
Should the Swiss Armed Forces expand their cooperation with NATO?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
The owner decides on the use of his weapons, not the Federal Council. Privatization of the arms industry in Switzerland will make this question superfluous, as there will no longer be any "Swiss weapons", but only weapons manufactured by private Swiss companies and owned by other states.
Der Eigentümer entscheidet über die Verwendung seiner Waffen, nicht der Bundesrat. Durch eine Privatisierung der Rüstungsindustrie in der Schweiz erübrigt sich diese Frage, da es keine "Schweizer Waffen" mehr geben wird, sondern nur noch von privaten Schweizer Unternehmen hergestellte Waffen im Besitz von anderen Staaten.

|---|---|---|---|
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
Each country has its own regulations to which local companies must adhere. Imposing our standards on companies abroad is social imperialism and puts Swiss companies at a disadvantage in international competition.
Jedes Land hat seine eigenen Bestimmungen an die sich die lokalen Unternehmen zu halten haben. Unsere Standards Unternehmen im Ausland aufzuzwingen ist Sozialimperialismus und benachteiligt Schweizer Unternehmen im internationalen Wettbewerb.
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?

Return to a strict interpretation of neutrality

Economic sanctions contradict neutrality and primarily harm Switzerland itself.
Wirtschaftssanktionen widersprechen der Neutralität und schaden in erster Linie der Schweiz selber.
