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
Health insurance is an essential achievement of our welfare state. It must remain accessible to all. If this requires more resources, they must be used to keep everyone in the system.
Die Krankenkasse ist eine wesentliche Errungenschaft unseres Sozialstaats. Sie muss allen zugänglich bleiben. Falls das mehr Mittel erfordert sind diese einzusetzen, um alle im System halten zu 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
It is completely absurd that marriage leads to receiving less AHV pension than unmarried people. Where is the connection?
Es ist völlig absurd, dass die Heirat dazu führt, dass man weniger AHV-Rente erhält als Unverheiratete. Wo ist der Zusammenhang?
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
In principle, I am in favor of there being no shifting of assets between generations - but the pension funds today are so poorly organized that with better organization such a measure would not even be necessary. Today, a few people are making a killing in this system.
Grundsätzlich bin ich zwar dafür, dass es keine Verschiebung von Vermögen zwischen den Generationen gibt - aber die Pensionskassen sind heute so schlecht organisiert, dass mit einer besseren Organisation eine solche Massnahme gar nicht notwendig wäre. In diesem System verdienen sich heute ein paar wenige eine goldene Nase.
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
Not because it is not desirable, but because it is difficult to finance. Moreover, ultimately only a fair sharing of the burdens in a relationship helps to achieve a long-term stable care situation. A few more weeks of vacation won't change anything in this regard.
Nicht weil es nicht wünschenswert wäre, aber schwer zu finanzieren. Zudem hilft letztlich nur eine gerechte Aufteilung der Lasten in einer Beziehung, eine langfristig stabile Betreuungssituation zu erreichen. Ein paar Wochen mehr Urlaub ändern diesbezüglich gar nichts.
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, the federal government should promote home ownership. Around 80% of all people would like to own their own home. The federal government should ensure that this is possible with the appropriate laws. Anything else is window dressing and misses the point.
Nein, der Bund soll das Wohneigentum fördern. Rund 80 % aller Menschen möchten Wohneigentum. Der Bund soll mit den entsprechenden Gesetzen dafür sorgen, dass dies möglich wird. Alles andere ist Augenwischerei und geht am Problem vorbei.
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
Physical integrity is a fundamental value of the constitution. It should not be tampered with under any circumstances.
Die körperliche Unversehrtheit ist ein Grundwert der Verfassung. Daran sollte auf keinen Fall geschraubt werden.
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
Yes, that would make a lot of sense. It would make even more sense to use the levy to make healthy food cheaper. The state does not need more money.
Ja, das wäre sehr sinnvoll. Noch sinnvoller wäre es die Abgabe zu nutzen um gesunde Lebensmittel zu verbilligen. Der Staat braucht nicht noch mehr Geld.
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
Everyone can determine the deductible rate according to their own needs and possibilities. There is no need for additional government requirements.
Jeder kann ja die Franchise gemäss seinen Bedürfnissen und Möglichkeiten selber bestimmen. Dafür braucht es nicht zusätzliche staatliche Vorgaben.
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's interventions in the corona pandemic were far too strong compared with the meager data base available to the government at the time. This was negligent blind flying.
Die Eingriffe des Bundesrates waren in der Coronapandemie viel zu stark, verglichen mit der mageren Datenbasis, welche der Regierung damals zur Verfügung stand. Das war fahrlässiger Blindflug.
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
Here, massive cost savings could be made and quality improved. Competence centers instead of mediocrity everywhere.
Hier könnten massiv Kosten gespart und die Qualität verbessert werden. Kompetenzzentren anstatt überall Mittelmass.
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
This system does not do justice to anyone. There can be common subjects and activities. But joint classes overload the cart. An imposition for the teachers.
Dieses System wird niemandem gerecht. Es kann durchaus gemeinsame Fächer und Aktivitäten geben. Aber gemeinsame Klassen überladen das Fuder. Eine Zumutung für die Lehrerinnen und Lehrer.
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
For what, why? There is no reason. The system works.
Wofür, weshalb? Es gibt kein Grund. Das System funktioniert.
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
Absolutely. Every person who can't reach his potential is a loss for society... and of course it is also a missed chance for this person and his environment.
Auf jeden Fall. Jeder Mensch, der sein Potential nicht ausschöpfen kann ist ein Verlust für die Gesellschaft... und natürlich ist es auch eine verpasste Chance für diesen Menschen und sein Umfeld.
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
The residence period of 10 years can certainly be maintained, but IN SWITZERLAND. It is not acceptable that people have to live in the same municipality. In addition, it seems massively more important to me that people speak a national language and accept democratic values and human rights.
Die Wohnsitzfrist von 10 Jahren kann durchaus beibehalten werden, aber IN DER SCHWEIZ. Es kann nicht angehen, dass man in der gleichen Gemeinde wohnen muss. Zudem scheint mir massiv wichtiger, dass die Menschen eine Landessprache beherrschen und die demokratischen Werte und die Menschenrechte akzeptieren.
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
If Switzerland does not want to become a big city with 20 million inhabitants, it must try to manage the workload with technical means.
Will die Schweiz nicht eine grosse Stadt mit 20 Millionen Einwohnern werden, muss sie versuchen mit technischen Mitteln den Arbeitsanfall zu bewältigen.
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
However, only under two conditions: Asylum seekers would also have to be able to apply for asylum in this third country and, if approved, would no longer have a dangerous journey ahead of them, but would be able to enter the country officially. In addition, very high demands would have to be made on the care in this third country.
Allerdings nur unter zwei Bedingungen: Asylsuchende müssten in diesem Drittland auch Asylanträge stellen können und hätten bei Gutheissung keine gefährliche Reise mehr vor sich, sondern würden offiziell einreisen können. Zudem müssten sehr hohe Anforderungen an die Betreuung in diesem Drittland gestellt 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
However, only on the condition that they have a perfect command of the language of that municipality and pay taxes in that municipality.
Allerdings nur unter der Bedingung, dass sie die Sprache dieser Gemeinde einwandfrei beherrschen und in dieser Gemeinde Steuern bezahlen.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Criminalizing drugs has never solved the problem.
Die Kriminalisierung von Drogen hat das Problem noch nie gelöst.
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
However, very clear and sharp rules would be needed. The current situation is unacceptable. Whereby every regulation offers problems.
Es bräuchte allerdings sehr klare und scharfe Regeln. Die heutige Situation ist unakzeptabel. Wobei jede Regelung Probleme bietet.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
It is undisputed that people can be clearly assigned to one of the two sexes, both biologically and psychologically. If they feel the need to officially confirm this fact, this should be made possible. However, the differences that still exist today due to the official gender would then also have to be abolished. Otherwise, everything would have to be redefined in this regard.
Es ist unbestritten, dass Menschen sowohl biologisch noch psychologisch klar einem der beiden Geschlechter zugeordnet werden können. Wenn diese das Bedürfnis haben, diesen Umstand amtlich zu bestätigen, sollte dies ermöglicht werden. Allerdings müssten dann auch die Unterschiede abgeschafft werden, welche heute aufgrund des amtlichen Geschlechts noch bestehen. Sonst müsste man diesbezüglich alles neu definieren.
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
Why not?
Warum nicht?
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
The federal government has massive problems (energy, environment) to solve. There is no reason to limit its resources right now.
Der Bund hat massive Probleme (Energie, Umwelt) zu lösen. Es gibt keinen Grund seine Mittel gerade jetzt zu beschränken.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
That would be fair.
Das wäre fair.
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 incentive to make investments for the next generation would decrease. If inheritances were to be taxed, this should not be done through a tax but through a levy that would flow directly into the education system / equal opportunities.
Der Anreiz Investitionen für die nachfolgende Generation zu tätigen würde sinken. Wenn Erbschaften belastet würden, sollte dies nicht durch eine Steuer geschehen sondern durch eine Abgabe, welche direkt in das Bildungssystem / Chancengleichheit fliessen würde.
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
Financially weak cantons have other advantages that financially strong ones do not. The cantons' own interest in balanced budgets must be preserved.
Finanzschwache Kantone haben andere Vorteile, welche finanzstarke nicht haben. Das Eigeninteresse der Kantone an ausgeglichenen Budgets muss erhalten bleiben.
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
It is factually impossible to live with less money. Anyone who works full time should be able to make a living with the money. However, there should be exceptions, for example for student jobs, vacation jobs, etc.
Es ist faktisch unmöglich mit weniger Geld zu leben. Wer voll arbeitet sollte mit dem Geld eine seinen Lebensunterhalt bestreiten können. Allerdings müsste es Ausnahmen geben, zum Beispiel für Studentenjobs, Ferienjobs usw.
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
Unfortunately, yes. Individual responsibility has been completely lost in the banking sector. Presumably, it won't work without government regulations, lest the next bank be hollowed out by managers out of greed for profit.
Leider ja. Die Eigenverantwortung ist im Bankensektor vollständig verloren gegangen. Vermutlich geht es nicht ohne staatliche Vorschriften, damit nicht die nächste Bank von den Managern ausgehöhlt wird aus Profitgier.
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
Electricity and water are absolutely essential goods. Liberalization is of no use whatsoever here. The state should guarantee this as efficiently as possible and in high quality.
Strom oder auch Wasser sind absolut lebensnotwendige Güter. Hier bringt die Liberalisierung überhaupt nichts. Das soll der Staat möglichst effizient und in hoher Qualität garantieren.
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
There are dozens of completely unnecessary regulations. Above all, far too many. A reduction of regulations and especially of officials who are always inventing new ones is absolutely necessary. A few regulations concerning noise and the environment (sewage, poisons, etc.) are needed. Everything else is completely superfluous.
Es gibt Dutzende völlig unnötige Vorschriften. Vor allem viel zu viele. Eine Reduktion der Vorschriften und vor allem der Beamten, welche immer neue erfinden ist absolut notwendig. Es braucht ein paar wenige Vorschriften, welche den Lärm und die Umwelt (Abwasser, Gifte u.ä.) betreffen. Alles andere ist völlig überflüssig.
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
Who is supposed to control that - and what exactly? Wages are always negotiated individually. Anyone who does not receive a correct wage is protected by the federal constitution and can sue.
Wer soll das denn kontrollieren - und was genau? Löhne werden immer individuell ausgehandelt. Wer keinen korrekten Lohn erhält ist durch die Bundesverfassung geschützt und kann klagen.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Yes, because individual transport still has an enormous significance in society. There is no point in leaving citizens standing in traffic jams.
Ja, denn der Individualverkehr hat in der Gesellschaft nach wie vor einen enormen Stellenwert. Es nützt nichts die Bürgerinnen und Bürger im Stau stehen zu lassen.
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
If there are CO2 neutral combustion alternatives, such exceptions would be allowed.
Falls es CO2 neutrale Verbrennungsalternativen gibt, wären solche Ausnahmen zuzulassen.
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
Neither is the solution. The solution is environmentally compatible prices. The environment must be factored in. For example, 10 francs for a liter of gasoline. That changes behavior. Everything else is window dressing. That's how it works without bans.
Beides ist nicht die Lösung. Die Lösung sind umweltgerechte Preise. Die Umwelt muss eingerechnet werden. Zum Beispiel 10 Franken für einen Liter Benzin. Das ändert das Verhalten. Alles andere ist Augenwischerei. So geht es auch ohne Verbote.
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
Deep geothermal energy could be used without any problems. Then this contradiction would not exist. Unfortunately, this is not done.
Man könnte problemlos die Tiefengeothermie nutzen. Dann gäbe es diesen Widerspruch gar nicht. Macht man aber leider nicht.
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
Those who demand something like this have not realized that Switzerland still does not know what to do with the waste and that these people have also missed Chernobyl, Zaporizhia and Fukushima. And the dependence on foreign uranium, they also seem to ignore. The only domestic and safe energy source for the next 10'000 years is deep geothermal energy.
Wer so etwas fordert hat nicht mitbekommen, dass die Schweiz bis heute nicht weiss, wohin mit dem Abfall und Tschernobyl, Saporischja und Fukushima haben diese Menschen gleich mitverpasst. Und die Abhängigkeit von ausländischem Uran, scheinen sie auch zu ignorieren. Die einzige inländische und sichere Energiequelle für die nächsten 10'000 Jahre ist die Tiefengeothermie.
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
Biodiversity areas and forests do not need a comprehensive service-public service.
Biodiversitätsflächen und Wälder brauchen kein umfassendes Service-Public-Angebot.
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
In any case, incentives should be created to use less electricity.
Auf jeden Fall sollten Anreize geschaffen werden, weniger Strom zu verbrauchen.
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
No, the farmers should finally stop keeping so-called "farm animals", which they then have killed anyway. The sheep want to be killed neither by a wolf nor by a butcher. Who cannot offer a safe life to the sheep, should leave it. Killing wolves and bears is not a solution.
Nein, die Bauern sollen endlich aufhören sogenannte "Nutztiere" zu halten, die sie ja dann sowieso umbringen lassen. Die Schafe wollen weder von einem Wolf noch von einem Metzger getötet werden. Wer den Schafen kein sicheres Leben bieten kann, soll es lassen. Wölfe und Bären zu töten ist keine Lösung.
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Those who unnecessarily pollute the soil and water, for example pig farmers, should no longer receive any direct payments at all. How stupid is society to give money to these animal abusers so that they destroy air, land and water - and the lives of pigs on top of that.
Wer unnötig die Böden und das Wasser belastet, zum Beispiel Schweinehalter, sollten überhaupt gar keine Direktzahlungen mehr erhalten. Wie blöd ist eigentlich die Gesellschaft diesen Tierquälern Geld zu geben, damit sie Luft, Land und Wasser zerstören - und die Schweineleben obendrauf.
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
This is the absolute minimum. The dignity of the pigs is trampled by the farmers. It is a disgrace.
Das ist das absolute Minimum. Die Würde der Schweine wird von den Bauern mit Füssen getreten. Es ist eine Schande.
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
Minimum. Land areas that are not suitable for growing plants for human consumption should all be forested or made available to safeguard biodiversity. We need more virgin forest again. We cannot point the finger at Brazil and deforest and overuse everything here.
Mindestens. Landflächen, welche sich nicht für den Pflanzenanbau zur menschlichen Ernährung eignen, sollten alle bewaldet werden oder zur Sicherung der Biodiversität zur Verfügung stehen. Wir brauchen wieder mehr Urwald. Wir können nicht mit dem Finger auf Brasilien zeigen und bei uns alles abholzen und übernutzen.
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
I am not in favor of bans. But such products would have to be extremely expensive, so they are only used where absolutely necessary. A disposable plate is definitely not one of them.
Ich bin nicht für Verbote. Aber solche Produkte müssten extrem teuer sein, so dass sie nur dort eingesetzt werden, wo es absolut notwendig ist. Ein Einwegteller gehört definitiv nicht dazu.
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
Basically a good idea. However, I see extreme difficulties in implementing them as long as they are not global or at least European measures.
Grundsätzlich gute Idee. Ich sehe allerdings extreme Schwierigkeiten diese durchzusetzen, solange es keine weltweiten oder mindestens europäische Massnahmen sind.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This must be regulated throughout Switzerland. Establishing these competencies in all cantons is too costly and risky.
Das muss schweizweit geregelt werden. Diese Kompetenzen in allen Kantonen aufzubauen ist zu kostspielig und riskant.
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
Question of enforcement - but fundamentally important. Especially transparency
Frage der Durchsetzung - aber grundsätzlich wichtig. Insbesondere Transparenz
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 halfway independent SRG is a good thing as long as it offers high quality. Which, unfortunately, is not consistently the case.
Eine halbwegs unabhängige SRG ist eine gute Sache, solange sie hohe Qualität bietet. Was leider nicht durchwegs der Fall ist.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Those who want to participate should be able to do so. The willingness to help shape democracy is too low anyway.
Wer mitmachen will, soll das können. Die Bereitschaft die Demokratie mitzuprägen ist eh zu gering.

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
Yes, under certain conditions. The UN must have clearly criticized this war of aggression as such.
Ja, unter bestimmten Bedingungen. Die Uno muss diesen Angriffskrieg klar als solchen kritisiert haben.

Comment
These are minimum standards that should be a matter of course anyway.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Comment
That is correct in principle. But only if the framework conditions are set correctly. For example, public goods such as water, electricity, etc. must not be left to the free market economy. In addition, networks are needed so that people who fall out of the system do not fall out of the social network at the same time.
Das ist grundsätzlich richtig. Allerdings nur, wenn die Rahmenbedingungen richtig gesetzt werden. Zum Beispiel dürfen öffentliche Güter wie Wasser, Strom usw. nicht der freien Marktwirtschaft überlassen werden. Zudem braucht es Netzwerke, damit Leute die aus dem System fallen, nicht gleichzeit aus dem sozialen Netz fallen.

Both are important - although reintegration is more a pious wish than reality in most cases. Many who have committed a crime do not need to be reintegrated because the crime was an exception. Others refuse to be reintegrated.
Beides ist wichtig - wobei die Wiedereingliederung eher ein frommer Wunsch als Realität ist in den meisten Fällen. Denn viele die kriminell wurden müssen gar nicht wiedereingegliedert werden weil die Tat eine Ausnahme war. Andere verweigern sich der Wiedereingliederung.

Above all, much more should be done in the area of training for specialist personnel.
Vor allem im Bereich Ausbildung von Fachpersonal sollte deutlich mehr getan werden.

Only farms that work in an environmentally friendly way and, above all, only produce plant-based food for people should receive support. Those who produce animal feed or even keep pigs, chickens, calves, cows, sheep, etc., which they keep in order to kill them, should no longer receive any money at all from the state.
Es sollten nur noch Landwirtschaftsbetriebe Unterstützung erhalten, welche umweltgerecht arbeiten und vor allem nur noch pflanzliche Lebensmittel für Menschen herstellen. Wer Tierfutter herstellt oder gar Schweine, Hühner, Kälber, Kühe, Schafe usw. hält, die er hält, um sie zu töten, sollte überhaupt gar kein Geld mehr erhalten vom Staat.

Cities would have to have an absolutely reliable, fast and punctual public transport system so that private motorized traffic can be curbed. Bicycle networks must be consistently and generously expanded.
Die Städte müssten ein absolut zuverlässiges, schnelles und pünktliches öff. Verkehrssystem haben, damit der motorisierte Privatverkehr zurückgedämmt werden kann. Velonetze müssen konsequent und grosszügig ausgebaut werden.

Many people are unsettled today. Public prosecutors' offices and courts are permanently overloaded. This calls into question the functioning rule of law. There needs to be a significant increase here.
Viele Menschen sind heute verunsichert. Die Staatsanwaltschaften und Gerichte sind permanent überlastet. Das stellt den funktionierenden Rechtsstaat in Frage. Hier muss deutlich aufgestockt werden.

Development cooperation has proven to be a big mistake. We should create healthy economic relations so that these countries can get off the ground themselves. Otherwise, they will remain dependent on us forever. That is not a solution.
Die Entwicklungszusammenarbeit hat sich als ein grosser Irrtum erwiesen. Wir sollten gesunde Wirtschaftsbeziehungen schaffen, damit diese Länder selber auf einen grünen Zweig kommen. Sonst bleiben sie auf immer von uns abhängig. Das ist keine Lösung.

The retirement age should be linked to life expectancy. Above all, people who train until they are 30 or even 40 should be available to society according to their life expectancy. This does not have to apply generally. Those who perform heavy physical work from 17 or 18 should also be able to retire earlier.
Das Rentenalter sollte an die Lebenserwartung geknüpft sein. Vor allem Menschen, die sich bis 30 oder gar 40 ausbilden lassen, sollten der Gesellschaft entsprechend ihrer Lebenserwartung zur Verfügung stehen. Das muss nicht generell gelten. Wer schwere körperliche Arbeit ab 17 oder 18 ausübt, sollte auch früher in Rente gehen können.
