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 care system should be denationalized and rebuilt on personal responsibility and self-determination. The current state system is complicated, non-transparent and hardly financially viable in the long term. In addition, the constant pandering from the left and the right is creating more and more new problems.
Das Gesundheitswesen sollte entstaatlicht werden und wieder auf Eigenverantwortung und Selbstbestimmung aufbauen. Das aktuelle staatliche System ist kompliziert, intransparent und langfristig kaum finanzierbar. Zudem werden durch die ständige Pflästerlipolitik von links und rechts immer neue Probleme geschaffen.
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
There is a need for more personal responsibility in pension provision. The AHV is to be scaled back - in this respect, the question does not play a decisive role on the whole. If the AHV exists, it is not clear why married couples should be comparatively worse off.
Es braucht mehr Eigenverantwortung in der Vorsorge. Die AHV ist zurückzubauen - insofern spielt die Frage im Grossen und Ganzen keine entscheidende Rolle. Gibt es die AHV, ist nicht klar, weshalb Ehepersonen komparativ schlechter gestellt werden sollten.
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
As described above, individual pension provision should be a private matter. In particular, the pension fund should be freely chosen.
Wie oben beschrieben, sollte die individuelle Vorsorge Privatsache sein. Insbesondere sollte die Pensionskasse frei gewählt werden 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
The state should stay out of the housing market altogether.
Der Staat soll sich aus dem Wohnungsmarkt ganz heraushalten.
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
Vaccination is a decision about one's own bodily integrity and therefore only concerns the individual or his or her parents.
Impfen ist eine Entscheidung über die eigene körperliche Integrität und geht somit nur den jeweiligen Menschen oder dessen Eltern etwas an.
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
We don't need a state to tell us what we should and shouldn't eat. One's own diet is an individual decision. But of course there should also be no entitlement to have the health consequences of a poor lifestyle or diet paid for by the general public.
Wir brauchen keinen Staat, der uns vorschreibt, was wir essen sollen und was nicht. Die eigene Ernährungsweise ist eine individuelle Entscheidung. Es sollte aber natürlich auch kein Anspruch darauf bestehen, gesundheitliche Folgen einer schlechten Lebensweise oder Ernährung durch die Allgemeinheit bezahlt zu erhalten.
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
As described above, people should once again take more responsibility for their own health. This also includes greater participation in health care costs.
Wie oben beschrieben, sollen die Menschen wieder mehr Verantwortung über ihre eigene Gesundheit wahrnehmen. Dazu gehört auch eine stärkere Beteiligung an den Gesundheitskosten.
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
During the Corona pandemic, the Federal Council adopted extremely drastic and discriminatory measures (e.g. compulsory certification) that hardly met the requirements for such severe interventions in terms of suitability, necessity and proportionality. It makes sense to limit its options.
Während der Corona-Pandemie hat der Bundesrat äusserst einschneidende und diskriminierende Massnahmen (bspw. Zertifikatspflicht) beschlossen, die den Anforderungen an so schwere Eingriffe im Hinblick auf Eignung, Notwendigkeit und Verhältnismässigkeit kaum genügten. Eine Beschränkung seiner Möglichkeiten ist sinnvoll.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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?

|---|---|---|---|
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 |

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
In terms of federalism (Gemeinseautonomie), it would be up to the municipality to enact appropriate regulations.
Im Sinne des Föderalismus (Gemeinseautonomie) wäre es an der Gemeinde, entsprechende Regelungen zu erlassen.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
People have the right to make their own decisions about their bodies. Of course, it must be ensured that the wish to die really corresponds to a perfectly formed will of the person concerned and that no influence is exerted.
Der Mensch hat das Recht, selbst über seinen Körper zu entscheiden. Selbstverständlich muss sichergestellt werden, dass der Sterbewunsch wirklich einem einwandfrei gebildeten Willen des Betroffenen entspricht und keine Beeinflussung stattfindet.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
One could say in itself that gender need not concern the state. Regardless of this, however, there are only two genders.
Man könnte an sich sagen, dass das Geschlecht den Staat nichts anzugehen braucht. Unabhängig davon gibt es jedoch nur zwei Geschlechter.
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 principle, it is none of the state's business how people organize their lives together.
Prinzipiell geht es den Staat nichts an, wie Menschen ihr Zusammenleben gestalten.
Finances & taxes
Reduce taxes at the federal level

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Inherited assets are private property that the state should not interfere with. In addition, these inheritances have already been taxed as income or assets at some point.
Geerbte Vermögenswerte sind Privateigentum, an dem sich der Staat nicht vergreifen soll. Dazu kommt, dass diese Erbschaften irgendwann einmal bereits als Einkommen oder Vermögen versteuert wurden.
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
All of these equalization instruments should be abolished, as they ultimately completely undermine fiscal discipline and are incompatible with federalism.
Sämtliche dieser Ausgleichsinstrumente sollten abgeschafft werden, da sie letztlich die Finanzdisziplin völlig untergraben und mit dem Föderalismus unvereinbar sind.
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
In the spirit of freedom of content, the state should stay out of contracts between private parties.
Der Staat soll sich im Sinne der Inhaltsfreiheit aus den Verträgen zwischen Privaten heraushalten.
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
Given the current situation, it's fair to ask what good all the regulations of the past few years have done. More of the same is hardly the solution.
Angesichts der aktuellen Lage ist die Frage berechtigt, was alle die Regulierungen der vergangenen Jahre gebracht haben. Mehr davon ist kaum die Lösung.

|---|---|---|---|
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
Wages are an agreement between private parties (employer and employee), which is none of the state's business.
Der Lohn ist eine Vereinbarung zwischen Privaten (Arbeitgeber und Arbeitnehmer), die den Staat nichts angehen muss.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

|---|---|---|---|
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
Disfigured landscapes and dead birds can hardly be the "solution" to homegrown energy problems.
Verschandelte Landschaften und tote Vögel können kaum die "Lösung" für selbstgemachte Energieprobleme sein.
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
Anything else is unrealistic wishful thinking.
Alles andere ist unrealistisches Wunschdenken.
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 stay out of it and create space for innovative, needs-based private solutions.
Der Staat soll sich heraushalten und Raum für innovative, bedarfsgerechte private Lösungen schaffen.
Introduce progressive electricity tariffs
Would you be in favor of the introduction of increasing electricity tariffs when consumption is higher (progressive electricity tariffs)?

|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Absurd.

|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
From a federalist perspective, the cantons should decide for themselves. Moreover, the federal government is by no means a role model in digital matters (keyword cybersecurity).
Aus föderalistischer Sicht sollten die Kantone selbst entscheiden. Zudem ist der Bund in digitalen Belangen keineswegs ein Vorbild (Stichwort Cybersicherheit).
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)?

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
We should go one step further and abolish all compulsory levies. It is also not clear why the federal government should be involved in the media sector at all.
Man sollte noch einen Schritt weitergehen, und sämtliche Zwangsabgaben abschaffen. Es ist ausserdem nicht einsichtig, warum der Bund im Medienbereich überhaupt mitmischen sollte.
