| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

The conversion rate has been too high for many years and today's pensioners are living at the expense of the young.
Der Umwandlungssatz ist seit vielen Jahren zu hoch und die heutigen Rentner leben auf Kosten der Jungen.

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
Not only during pandemics, but also outside of them, the Federal Council should exercise more restraint.
Nicht nur bei Pandemien, auch ausserhalb sollte sich der Bundesrat mehr zurückhalten.
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
Seeing how well the federal government "plans," I wouldn't let them plan anything.
Wenn man sieht, wie gut der Bund "plant", würde ich den gar nichts planen lassen.
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
That should be decided by educators, not politicians. In principle, I think a certain degree of integration is good. However, I reject a purely politically motivated egalitarianism if education suffers as a result.
Das sollten Pädagogen entscheiden und nicht Politiker. Grundsätzlich finde ich ein gewisse Integration gut. Allerdings lehne ich eine rein politisch motivierte Gleichmacherei ab, wenn die Bildung darunter leidet.
Tighten the requirements for obtaining a high school diploma
Should the federal government raise the requirements for the gymnasiale matura?

|---|---|---|---|
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
Would be more efficient and would lead to an easing of the situation. But the question is still who should finance it. Voluntary donations should increasingly take the place of state funding.
Wäre effizienter und würde zu einer Entspannung der Situation führen. Fragt sich aber immer noch wer das finanzieren soll. Hier sollten vermehrt freiwillige Spenden an Stelle der staatlichen Gelder treten.
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
This should be left to the discretion of the municipality. But in principle I am in favor of the fact that you can vote even without a Swiss passport, if you meet certain material requirements (language, basic political knowledge).
Die sollte im Ermessen der Gemeinde verbleiben. Aber grundsätzlich bin ich dafür dass man auch ohne Schweizer Pass wählen /abstimmen kann, wenn man gewisse materielle Voraussetzungen erfüllt (Sprache, grundlegende politische Kenntnisse).

|---|---|---|---|
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
Fiscal equalization should be abolished completely. It is a lazy trick of politicians to sabotage competition between cantons. And lack of competition leads to poor performance, as every child knows...
Der Finanzausgleich gehört komplett abgeschafft. Es ist ein fauler Trick von Politikern, um den Wettbewerb zwischen den Kantonen zu sabotieren. Und mangelnder Wettbewerb führt zu schlechter Leistung, wie eigentlich jedes Kind weiss...

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
The sector is already completely over-regulated. Banks are getting bigger and bigger because small banks have been regulated to death.
Der Sektor ist doch schon komplett überreguliert. Banken werden immer grösser, weil kleine Banken totreguliert wurden.
Liberalizzare completamente il mercato dell'elettricità
Should private households be free to choose their electricity supplier (complete liberalization of the electricity market)?

Comment
Why not?
Wieso auch nicht?
Make housing construction regulations more flexible

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Actually, it is now proven that there are no wage differences. With such measures, simply a few more civil servants are employed, who would otherwise be at the RAV.
Eigentlich ist mittlerweile erwiesen, dass es keine Lohnunterschiede gibt. Mit solchen Massnahmen, werden einfach noch ein paar Beamte beschäftigt, dies sonst beim RAV wären.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Autobahnen & ÖV sollten privat finanziert werden. Dann kann die Nachfrage das Angebot bestimmen und nicht irgendwelche schöngeistigen Politiker.

Should Switzerland ban the registration of new passenger cars with internal combustion engines starting in 2035?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Comment
After the total failure in energy policy, Swiss politics should take a step back on such issues.
Nach dem Totalversagen in der Energiepolitik, sollte die Schweizer Politik sich ein bisschen zurücknehmen bei solchen Themen.

|---|---|---|---|
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
In principle, I am in favor of relaxing such regulations, it just bothers me a bit that it is only done for the benefit of the renewable energy lobby interests.
Grundsätzlich bin ich für die Lockerung solcher Vorschriften, es stört mich einfach etwas, dass es nur zugunsten der Lobbyinteressen der erneuerbaren-Energielobby erfolgt.

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
"Switzerland" should not have so much land in the first place. Landowners decide for themselves whether they want to promote biodiversity. Unpopular opinion: large farms are better for biodiversity than small ones. So finally cut the subsidies and merge the farms.
"Die Schweiz" sollte gar nicht über so viel Land verfügen. Die Landbesitzer entscheiden selbst, ob sie Biodiversität fördern wollen. Unpopuläre Meinung: Grossbauernhöfe sind besser für die Biodiversität als kleine. Also endlich mal die Subventionen streichen und die Höfe zusammenlegen.

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
Depends on the definition of public space. The state should definitely be prohibited from monitoring citizens with facial recognition. However, a fundamental ban seems excessive to me.
Kommt auf die Definition des öffentlichen Raums an. Dem Staat sollte auf jeden Fall verboten werden, die Bürger mit Gesichtserkennung zu überwachen. Ein grundsätzliches Verbot scheint mir aber übertrieben.
Denounce the Schengen Agreement and strengthen border controls
Should Switzerland terminate the Schengen agreement with the EU and reintroduce more security checks directly on the border? [BePart question]

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?

Nur wenn die EU-Personenfreizügigkeit zur eine unilaterale Personenfreizügigkeit ersetzt würde.

The first priority would have to be reparation of the damage / compensation for the victim. Then the reintegration and finally the punishment, if the first two are not possible.
Im Vordergrund müsste die Wiedergutmachung des Schadens / Entschädigung des Opfers stehen. Danach die Wiedereingliederung und zuletzt die Strafe, wenn die ersten zwei nicht möglich sind.
