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 purely symptom control and should only be paid in extreme emergencies. Rising premiums should be combated by privatizing the health care system to a large extent and abolishing the obligation to contract.
Prämienverbilligung sind reine Symptombekämpfung und sollten nur im äussersten Notfall bezahlt werden. Die steigenden Prämien sollten durch eine weitgehende Privatisierung des Gesundheitssystems und Aufhebung des Vertragszwangs bekämpft werden.
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 AHV pyramid scheme should be replaced by a pure funded scheme à la 2nd or 3rd pillar. Thus, the way of life would also no longer play a role.
Das Schneeballsystem AHV sollte durch ein reines Kapitaldeckungsverfahren ersetzt werden à la 2. oder 3. Säule ersetzt werden. Somit würde auch die Lebensweise keine Rolle mehr spielen.
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 conversion rate is too high. For years, this has led to an unauthorized redistribution from young to old. The conversion rate must be adjusted in line with rising life expectancy.
Der Umwandlungssatz ist zu hoch. Das führt seit Jahren zu einer unerlaubten Umverteilung von Jung zu Alt. Der Umwandlungssatz muss an die steigende Lebenserwartung angepasst werden.
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
Funding lifestyles is not a government responsibility. Parental leave makes sense, but should be financed voluntarily by employers.
Die Finanzierung von Lebensweisen ist keine Staatsaufgabe. Elternzeit ist sinnvoll, sollte aber durch die Arbeitgeber freiwillig finanziert werden.
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
Financing or even building housing is not a government task. Non-profit housing construction should therefore be completely abolished. In cases of hardship (e.g. social welfare), the state can take over the rent, for example, via subject assistance.
Wohnungen finanzieren oder gar bauen ist keine Staatsaufgabe. Der gemeinnützige Wohnungsbau sollte daher vollständig abgeschafft werden. In Härtefällen (z.B. bei Sozialhilfe) kann der Staat über Subjekthilfe z.B. die Miete übernehmen.
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
I am a strong supporter of all vaccinations, but I think compulsory vaccination is wrong. The constitution guarantees the right to physical integrity. Therefore, the state may not order any interventions. In turn, parents whose children negligently fall ill due to lack of vaccinations should be allowed to be prosecuted and sued by the children.
Ich bin ein ein starker Befürworter aller Impfungen, aber eine Impfpflicht halte ich für falsch. Die Verfassung garantiert das Recht auf körperliche Unversehrtheit. Der Staat darf daher keine Eingriffe anordnen. Im Gegenzug sollten Eltern, deren Kinder fahrlässig aufgrund fehlender Impfungen erkranken, strafrechtlich verfolgt und von den Kindern verklagt werden dürfen.
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 have freedom of choice in nutrition. The rising obesity of the population can be fought with higher health insurance premiums for unhealthy lifestyles.
Wir haben eine Wahlfreiheit bei der Ernährung. Die steigende Fettleibigkeit der Bevölkerung kann man mit höheren Krankenkassenprämien für ungesunde Lebensweisen bekämpfen.
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
Those who receive more services should also have to pay more. Increased cost sharing reduces the self-service mentality in the health care system and increases freedom of choice.
Wer mehr Leistungen bezieht, sollte auch mehr bezahlen müssen. Eine erhöhte Kostenbeteiligung reduziert die Selbstbedienungsmentalität im Gesundheitssystem und erhöht die Wahlfreiheit.
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
Emergency law at the federal level must once again become an exception. Necessary interventions can be introduced via laws.
Notrecht auf Bundesebene muss wieder eine Ausnahme werden. Notwendige Eingriffe können über Gesetze eingeführt werden.
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
Hospitals should be privatized wherever possible. This would automatically make zombie hospitals in rural regions, which only survive at all thanks to cantonal funding, impossible. New powers for the federal government are a further centralization of the already over-regulated healthcare system.
Spitäler sollten wo möglich privatisiert werden. Das würde Zombiespitäler in ländlichen Regionen, die nur durch kantonale Gelder überhaupt überleben, automatisch verunmöglichen. Neue Kompetenzen für den Bund sind eine weitere Zentralisierung des bereits überregulierten Gesundheitssystems.
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
Choosing the right approach is the job of educators, not politicians. In principle, however, I am a supporter of the achievement principle. Furthermore, the problems of this concept are well known.
Die Wahl des richtigen Konzepts ist Aufgabe der Pädagogen, nicht der Politik. Grundsätzlich bin ich aber ein Befürworter des Leistungsprinzips. Weiterhin sind die Probleme dieses Konzepts bekannt.
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
The idea of achievement must also be expanded again in high schools.
Der Leistungsgedanke muss auch in den Gymnasien wieder ausgebaut werden.
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
The school system should be denationalized where possible and state support measures replaced by private ones (e.g. scholarships). However, subject aid should remain possible where absolutely necessary.
Das Schulsystem sollte wo möglich entstaatlicht und staatliche Fördermassnahmen durch private ersetzt werden (z.B. Stipendien). Subjekthilfe, wo unbedingt notwendig, sollte aber weiterhin möglich bleiben.
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
Citizenship is an artificial construct that I actually reject. All people should have the same rights (e.g. freedom of establishment) and duties (e.g. to abide by local rules). Today's citizenship is only for people who accept these rights and duties. Furthermore, no taxation without representation! Those who pay taxes and duties should also be allowed to determine how they are used.
Staatbürgerschaft ist ein künstliches Konstrukt, das ich eigentlich ablehne. Alle Menschen sollten die gleichen Rechte (z.B. Niederlassungsfreiheit) und Pflichten (z.B. sich an lokale Regeln halten) haben. Die heutige Staatsbürgerschaft ergibt aber nur bei Menschen sind, welche diese Rechte und Pflichten auch akzeptieren. Weiterhin gilt, no taxation without representation! Wer Steuern und Abgaben bezahlt, sollte auch über die Verwendung bestimmen dürfen.
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
I am in favor of open borders and free immigration, but without automatic access to social welfare. Quotas are protectionism, which I always reject.
Ich bin für offene Grenzen und freie Zuwanderung, jedoch ohne automatischen Zugang zum Sozialwesen. Kontingente sind Protektionismus, den ich immer ablehne.
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
Freedom of establishment should apply to all people, as should the right to work. In return, social assistance should be restricted.
Niederlassungsfreiheit sollte für alle Menschen gelten, wie auch das Recht arbeiten zu dürfen. Im Gegenzug sollte die Sozialhilfe eingeschränkt werden.
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
No taxation without representation! Those who pay taxes and duties should also be allowed to determine how they are used. Of course, this does not apply to people who do not follow the rules, e.g. criminals.
No taxation without representation! Wer Steuern und Abgaben bezahlt, sollte auch über die Verwendung bestimmen dürfen. Das gilt natürlich nicht für Menschen, welche sich nicht an die Regeln halten, z.B. Kriminelle.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
As with nutrition, absolute freedom of choice should also apply to drugs. Any prohibitions on drugs should be lifted.
Wie bei der Ernährung sollte auch bei Drogen eine absolute Wahlfreiheit gelten. Jegliche Drogenverbote sollten aufgehoben werden.
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
Suicide is an individual decision that should not be restricted by the state.
Selbstmord ist ein individueller Entscheid, der durch den Staat nicht eingeschränkt werden sollte.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The state gender should be abolished. Until then, a third gender for intersexual people makes sense.
Das staatliche Geschlecht sollte abgeschafft werden. Bis dahin ist ein drittes Geschlecht für intersexuelle Menschen sinnvoll.
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
State marriage should be abolished. Until then, marriage for all is a matter of course.
Die staatliche Ehe sollte abgeschafft werden. Bis dahin ist die Ehe für alle eine Selbstverständlichkeit.
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 legalized robbery. Government tasks should be financed by fees. Tax cuts are therefore always a priority for me.
Steuern sind legalisierter Raub. Staatliche Aufgaben sollten durch Gebühren finanziert werden. Steuersenkungen sind daher für mich immer eine Priorität.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Lifestyle should have no bearing on taxation.
Die Lebensweise sollte keinerlei 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
An inheritance tax is legalized robbery of the dead and their children. Property must be guaranteed after death for the heirs and according to the wishes of the deceased.
Eine Erbschaftssteuer ist legalisierter Raub an Toten und deren Kindern. Das Eigentum muss auch nach dem Tod für die Erben und entsprechend den Wünschen der Verstorbenen garantiert sein.
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 without replacement. Fair location competition between the cantons lowers taxes and leads to attractive locations for residents and companies (see Zug).
Der Finanzausgleich sollte ersatzlos gestrichen werden. Der faire Standortwettbewerb zwischen den Kantonen senkt die Steuern und führt zu attraktiven Standorten für Bewohner und Unternehmen (siehe Zug).
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
The state should not further restrict economic and contractual freedom. Wages are a matter for employers and employees.
Der Staat sollte die Wirtschafts- und Vertragsfreiheit nicht weiter einschränken. Löhne sind Sache der Arbeitgeber und Arbeitnehmer.
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
The state should not further restrict economic and contractual freedom. The financial sector is already overregulated, yet the Credit Suisse crisis could not be prevented.
Der Staat sollte die Wirtschafts- und Vertragsfreiheit nicht weiter einschränken. Der Finanzsektor ist bereits überreguliert, trotzdem konnte die Credit-Suisse-Krise nicht verhindert werden.
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
I support freedom of choice in electricity as well, including nuclear power.
Ich befürworte die Wahlfreiheit auch beim Strom, inklusive Atomstrom.
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
High immigration makes new housing necessary. This should be built privately. Liberalization of the building code will create more living space, which will lead to a reduction in rents.
Die hohe Einwanderung macht neuen Wohnraum notwendig. Dieser sollte privat gebaut werden. Durch eine Liberalisierung des Baurechts wird mehr Wohnraum entstehen, was zu einer Absenkung der Mieten führen wird.
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 state should not further restrict economic and contractual freedom. Establishing a wage police is not a task for the state.
Der Staat sollte die Wirtschafts- und Vertragsfreiheit nicht weiter einschränken. Eine Lohnpolizei aufbauen ist keine Staatsaufgabe.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The population and mobility are increasing, so capacity must also be increased on the roads. However, the expansion should be carried out through private financing.
Die Bevölkerungszahl und die Mobilität steigen, daher muss die Kapazität auch auf den Strassen erhöht werden. Der Ausbau sollte aber durch private Finanzierung erfolgen.
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
The state should not be allowed to impose technology bans.
Der Staat sollte keine Technologieverbote aussprechen dürfen.
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
I support the net zero target in principle. This should be achieved through incentives, target agreements and technological progress.
Ich befürworte das Netto-Null-Ziel grundsätzlich. Dieses sollte durch Anreize, Zielvereinbarungen und technologischen Fortschritt erreicht werden.
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
Construction regulations should generally be reduced.
Bauregulierungen sollten grundsätzlich reduziert werden.
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
This is long overdue. Nuclear power plants can make an important contribution to a CO2-neutral energy supply.
Das ist schon lange überfällig. Atomkraftwerke können einen wichtigen Beitrag für eine CO2-neutrale Energieversorgung 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
Public service offerings should be abolished or privatized. There should be no right to basic services in the remotest hamlet.
Service-Public-Angebote sollten abgeschaft bzw. privatisiert werden. Es sollte kein Recht auf Grundversorgung bis in das hinterste Dörfchen geben.
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 does not require the state, but free competition for electricity.
Dafür braucht es nicht den Staat, sondern einen freien Stromwettbewerb.
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
In principle, biodiversity is worth protecting, which is why I reject any further relaxation of protection regulations.
Grundsätzlich ist die Biodiversität schützenswert, daher lehne ich weitere Lockerungen der Schutzbestimmungen ab.
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Agricultural subsidies and direct payments should be abolished without replacement. Until then, distribution only to organic farms makes sense and reduces costs.
Landwirtschaftssubventionen und Direktzahlungen sollten ersatzlos abgeschafft werden. Bis dahin ist eine Verteilung nur an ökologische Betriebe sinnvoll und kostensenkend.
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
Animals in human care should be treated similarly to children. Therefore, for once, I am in favor of strict government regulations for the reduction of suffering.
Tiere in menschlicher Obhut sollten ähnlich wie Kinder behandelt werden. Daher befürworte ich für einmal strenge staatliche Vorschriften für die Reduktion von Leid.
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
In principle, biodiversity is worth protecting, but the state should not be allowed to own land. Biodiversity is also in the interest of landowners.
Grundsätzlich ist die Biodiversität schützenswert, der Staat sollte aber kein Land besitzen dürfen. Biodiversität ist auch im Interesse der Landbesitzer.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Purely a side issue. I abhor technology bans.
Reiner Nebenschauplatz. Ich verabscheue Technologieverbote.
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
The circular economy makes sense, but the state should not further restrict economic and contractual freedom.
Die Kreislauftwirtschaft ist sinnvoll, der Staat sollte die Wirtschafts- und Vertragsfreiheit aber nicht weiter einschränken.
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
Absolutely, but not government funded.
Unbedingt, aber nicht staatlich finanziert.
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
Centralization efforts are to be rejected on principle.
Zentralisierungsbestrebungen sind grundsätzlich abzulehnen.
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
Freedom of expression must be guaranteed at all costs. The state should not further restrict economic and contractual freedom.
Die Meinungsäusserungsfreiheit muss unbedingt gewährleistet werden. Der Staat sollte die Wirtschafts- und Vertragsfreiheit nicht weiter einschränken.
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
Television and radio fees should be abolished without replacement. Media consumption is a private matter.
Die Fernseh- und Radiogebühren sollten ersatzlos abgeschafft werden. Medienkonsum ist Privatsache.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Comment
No taxation without representation! Those who pay taxes and duties should be allowed to vote on how they are used.

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)?

|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Every measure to curb government growth should be used.
Jede Massnahme zu Eindämmung des Staatswachstums sollte genutzt werden.
Security & military

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
Compulsory military service should be abolished and replaced by a small volunteer army and equipped with modern equipment.
Die Wehrpflicht sollte abgeschafft und durch eine kleine Freiwilligenarmee ersetzt und modern ausgerüstet werden.
Strengthening cooperation between the Swiss army and NATO
Should the Swiss Armed Forces expand their cooperation with NATO?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
NATO is Switzerland's natural ally in the event of war. Cooperation should therefore be intensified, but without accession or deployment commitments.
Die NATO ist der natürliche Bündnispartner der Schweiz im Kriegsfall. Die Zusammenarbeit sollte daher intensiviert werden, aber ohne Beitritt oder Einsatzverpflichtungen.
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]

|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Economic freedom also for weapons.
Wirtschaftsfreiheit auch bei Waffen.
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
I reject a fundamental ban, but the state should not have access to the data, with a few exceptions (e.g. police).
Ein grundsätzliches Verbot lehne ich ab, der Staat sollte aber mit wenigen Ausnahmen (z.B. Polizei) keinen Zugriff auf die Daten haben.
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]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Checks on persons at the border are in most cases an unacceptable restriction on the freedom of travel and establishment. Targeted controls for security are possible through Schengen.
Personenkontrollen an der Grenze sind in den meisten Fällen eine inakzeptable Einschränkung der Reise- und Niederlassungsfreiheit. Gezielte Kontrollen für die Sicherheit sind durch Schengen möglich.
Foreign trade & foreign policy
Seek closer relations with the EU
Are you in favor of closer relations with the European Union (EU)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

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
Other countries should be allowed to define their standards independently. This demand is social imperialism!
Andere Länder sollten ihre Standards selbstständig definieren dürfen. Diese Forderung ist Sozialimperialismus!
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?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Free trade yes, but only with free movement of persons without automatic access to the welfare state.
Freihandel ja, aber nur mit Personenfreizügigkeit ohne automatischen Zugang zum Sozialstaat.
Return to a strict interpretation of neutrality
Should Switzerland return to a strict interpretation of neutrality (renounce economic sanctions to a large extent)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In principle, I support neutrality, but not towards countries that ignore international law as the basis of this neutrality.
Grundsätzlich befürtworte ich die Neutralität, nicht aber gegenüber Ländern, welche das Völkerrecht als Grundlage ebendieser Neutralität ignorieren.

Social protection: spend more/less
Should the federal government spend more or less in the area of "Social services"?
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The cost growth of the welfare state must finally be slowed down. Social welfare where there is no other way (subject assistance). I reject the current watering can principle.
Das Kostenwachstum beim Sozialstaat muss endlich gebremst werden. Sozial Wohlfahrt dort, wo es nicht anders geht (Subjekthilfe). Ich lehne das heutige Giesskannenprinzip ab.

One of the few sensible government expenditures. As everywhere, however, bureaucracy should first be reduced and tasks privatized where possible. The abolition of compulsory military service and the war in Ukraine will probably require an expensive modernization of the army.

This is not a government task. Development aid should be privatized.
Das ist keine Staatsaufgabe. Die Entwicklungshilfe sollte privatisiert werden.

The AHV pyramid scheme should be replaced by a pure funded scheme à la 2nd or 3rd pillar. Until then, the retirement age should be linked to life expectancy.
Das Schneeballsystem AHV sollte durch ein reines Kapitaldeckungsverfahren à la 2. oder 3. Säule ersetzt werden. Bis dahin sollte das Rentenalter an die Lebenserwartung gekoppelt werden.
