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 premiums are unlikely to ever go down. With additional reductions, health insurers will see no incentive to pay attention to costs. This would further increase costs.
Die Krankenkassen-Prämien werden wohl kaum jemals sinken. Mit zusätzlichen Verbilligungen werden die Krankenkassen keinen Anreiz sehen, auf die Kosten zu achten. Dies würde die Kosten zusätzlich erhöhen.
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
Married couples should no longer be disadvantaged.
Ehepaare sollen nicht länger benachteiligt werden.
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
A reduction is understandable, but not absolutely necessary. At present, there are too many individual insurers. There is a very large savings potential. What is needed is a clean analysis of administrative costs and performance.
Eine Senkung ist zwar nachvollziehbar, jedoch nicht unbedingt notwendig. Zur Zeit gibt es zu viele einzelne Kassen. Da besteht ein sehr grosses Sparpotenzial. Erforderlich wäre eine saubere Analyse, Verwaltungskosten, Performance.
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
This will not solve the shortage of skilled workers. Only large corporations, public corporations and institutions can afford this. Medium-sized and small companies can hardly afford it.
Der Fachkräftemangel wird damit nicht behoben. Leisten können sich dies nur Grosskonzerne, öffentlich rechtliche Körperschaften und Anstalten. Mittel- und Kleinunternehmen können sich dies kaum leisten.
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 possibility of building cooperatives already exists today. However, in individual cases it could make sense.
Die Möglichkeiten von Baugenossenschaften besteht heute schon. In einzelnen Fällen könnte es jedoch sinnvoll sein.
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
The previous vaccinations should be maintained. I am very cautious about new vaccinations. The decisions during the Corona pandemic were too obscure. Many years of studies have to be taken into account. The selection of experts has to be balanced, not only those who represent the desired opinion.
Die bisherigen Impfungen sollen beibehalten werden. Bei neuen Impfungen bin ich sehr vorsichtig. Zu undurchsichtig und waren die Entscheide während der Corona Pandemie. Da müssen langjährige Studien beachtet werden. Die Auswahl der Experten hat ausgewogen zu erfolgen, nicht nur diejenigen, die die gewollte Meinung vertreten.
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
The consumer should decide for himself what he wants to consume. This would lead to a tax being introduced on everything possible.
Der Konsument soll selber entscheiden, was er konsumieren will. Dies würde dazu führen, dass auf alles Mögliche eine Steuer eingeführt würde.
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
Premiums will rise regardless. As long as the health insurance companies do not see any incentive to pay attention to the costs or to analyze the bills paid, the costs will continue to rise. One approach would be to make those who report to the emergency department for a minor case pay a higher share of the costs.
Die Prämien werden trotzdem steigen. Solange die Krankenkassen keinen Anreiz sehen, auf die Kosten zu achten, bzw. die bezahlten Rechnungen analysieren, werden die Kosten weiter steigen. Ein Ansatz wäre, wer sich wegen eines Bagatellfalles beim Notfall meldet hat einen höheren Anteil der Kosten zu bezahlen.
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
Experience from the Corona pandemic has shown that there has been massive exaggeration in some cases. When experts, depending on the situation, claim that masks are not useful and then suddenly change their opinion, this does not inspire confidence.
Die Erfahrung aus der Corona Pandemie hat gezeigt, dass zum Teil massiv übertrieben wurde. Wenn Fachexperten, je nach Situation, behaupten, Masken seien nicht sinnvoll, später dann plötzlich ihre Meinung ändern, ist das nicht vertrauenserweckend.
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
It is to remain with the cantons. Whether this will reduce costs I doubt.
Es soll weiterhin bei den Kantonen bleiben. Ob die Kosten dadurch gesenkt werden, bezweifle ich.
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
I am convinced that special classes are more efficient. Teaching staff would be deployed in a more concentrated manner. Sooner or later, higher-performing students will move to private schools if this integrative model continues.
Ich bin überzeugt, dass Sonderklassen effizienter sind. Das Lehrpersonal würde konzentrierter eingesetzt. Früher oder später werden leistungsstärkere Schülerinnen und Schüler auf Privatschulen ausweichen, wenn dieses integrative Modell weiter bestehen bleibt.
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
It must be clear from the outset that a gymnasiale Maturität is preparation for a course of study. I still consider an entrance examination, taking into account the school grades of the previous two semesters, to be useful. From experience, the grades are not very meaningful, as they are often used to help.
Es muss von Anfang an klar sein, dass eine gymnasiale Maturität die Vorbereitung auf ein Studium ist. Eine Aufnahmeprüfung, unter Berücksichtigung der Schulnoten der vorherigen beiden Semester, betrachte ich nach wie vor als sinnvoll. Aus Erfahrung, sind die Noten wenig aussagekräftig, da oft nachgeholfen wird.
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
That doesn't help at all. I doubt whether the money will then be spent on education. A student also has the duty to participate in the lessons. For children with learning difficulties, there should be the possibility of organized tutoring.
Das bringt gar nichts. Ob das Geld dann für die Ausbildung ausgegeben wird, bezweifle ich. Ein Schüler oder eine Schülerin hat auch die Pflicht, sich am Unterricht zu beteiligen. Bei lernschwächeren Kindern sollte die Möglichkeit eines organisierten Nachhilfeunterrichts bestehen.
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 must be the result of successful integration. Naturalizing and hoping that the person will then integrate at some point is not possible. The person to be naturalized must undertake to accept our laws unconditionally and, in the event of a massive violation, accept that he or she may lose Swiss citizenship.
Die Einbürgerung muss das Resultat einer gelungenen Integration sein. Einbürgern und hoffen, dass sich die Person dann irgendwann integriert geht nicht. Die einzubürgernde Person muss sich verpflichten, unsere Gesetzt bedingungslos zu akzeptieren und bei massivem Verstoss akzeptieren, dass sie das Schweizer Bürgerrecht verlieren kann.
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
The earlier solution with quotas seems to me the most sensible solution.
Die frühere Lösung mit Kontingenten scheint mir die sinnvollste Lösung.
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
Absolutely. Once here, they are almost impossible to return to their country of origin. The costs for accommodation, care and medical treatment would be significantly lower. Unfortunately, it cannot be denied that the asylum system is being abused.
Unbedingt. Einmal hier, sind sie kaum mehr in ihr Ursprungsland zurück zu führen. Die Kosten für Unterbringung, Versorgung und ärztliche Versorgung wären deutlich tiefer. Leider ist nicht von der Hand zu weisen, dass das Asylwesen missbraucht wird.
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
Only those who are committed to Switzerland and its laws and who have Swiss citizenship should vote.
Wählen sollen nur, wer sich zur Schweiz und ihren Gesetzen bekannt und das Schweizer Bürgerrecht besitzt.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
We already have enough addiction problems. I remain convinced that this is a gateway drug.
Wir haben schon genug Suchtprobleme. Ich bin nach wie vor der Überzeugung, dass dies eine Einstiegsdroge ist.
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
Since euthanasia is already possible, physicians should be able to perform it without penalty. Clear guidelines must be adhered to.
Da Sterbehilfe bereits möglich ist, sollten Ärzte und Ärztinnen dies straffrei tätigen können. Dabei gilt es klare Richtlinien einzuhalten.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I do not find this necessary.
Dies finde ich nicht nötig.
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
A child had, has and will have a father (male) and a mother (female). If sooner or later it asks about the father and mother, the problems are likely to begin. Which child can live with the fact that it comes from the "pharmacy", only because the "fake parents" wanted to satisfy their desire for a child. A child thus becomes a commodity.
Ein Kind hatte, hat und wird auch in Zukunft einen Vater (männlich) und eine Mutter (weiblich) haben. Wenn es früher oder später nach Vater und Mutter fragt, dürften die Probleme beginnen. Welches Kind kann damit leben, dass es aus der "Apotheke" stammt, nur weil die "Fake Eltern" ihren Wunsch nach einem Kind befriedigen wollten. Ein Kind wird somit zur Handelsware.
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 more the federal government has at its disposal, the more it spends. The sprawling bureaucracy is just one example. By lowering taxes, citizens have more freedom to control their spending.
Je mehr der Bund zur Verfügung hat, desto mehr gibt er aus. Die ausufernde Bürokratie ist nur ein Beispiel. Durch die Senkung der Steuern haben die Bürgerinnen und Bürger mehr Freiheit, ihre Ausgaben zu steuern.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This is long overdue. Who are the preventers?
Dies ist schon längst fällig. Wer sind die Verhinderer?
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 money to be inherited has already been taxed several times: first as income, then every year as assets.
Das zu erbende Geld wurde schon mehrfach besteuert: zuerst als Einkommen, dann jedes Jahr als Vermögen.
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
Financial equalization tempts people not to get a grip on costs and promotes living at the expense of the other. The goal of every canton must be to keep revenues and expenditures balanced in the long term.
Finanzausgleiche verleiten dazu, die Kosten nicht in den Griff zu bekommen und fördert das Leben auf Kosten des andern. Ziel eines jeden Kantons muss sein, die Einnahmen und Ausgaben langfristig ausgewogen zu halten.
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 salary must be earned. If the employer finds that it is not possible, the job is eliminated. Again and again there is talk about the minimum wage. Who defines the minimum performance for an appropriate wage, e.g... Fr. 4,000.00?
Der Lohn muss erarbeitet werden. Wenn der Arbeitgeber feststellt, dass es nicht möglich ist, wird die Stelle gestrichen. Immer wieder wird vom Mindestlohne gesprochen. Wer definiert die Mindestleistung für einen entsprechenden Lohn, z.B.. Fr. 4'000.00?
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 opportunities have been missed. The financial industry is resistant to learning. The scandals of recent years speak for themselves. Stricter capital requirements for banks and bans on bonuses are useless and have had no effect in the past. Those who don't get what they want in this industry take what they think is appropriate. Insufficient controls, internal and external, have led to this mess. A bona fide supervisory authority is no longer enough.
Die Chancen wurden verpasst. Die Finanzbranche ist lernresistent. Die Skandale der letzten Jahre sprechen für sich. Strengere Eigenkapitalvorschriften für Banken, Bonusverbote bringen nichts, hätten auch in der Vergangenheit nichts bewirkt. Wer in dieser Branche nicht kriegt was er will, der nimmt sich was er/sie für angemessen hält. Ungenügende Kontrollen, interne und externe haben zu diesem Schlamassel geführt. Eine gutgläubige Aufsichtsbehörde reicht da nicht mehr.
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
This should be technically solvable today. Unfortunately, monopoly providers tend to abuse their position.
Dies müsste heute technisch lösbar sein. Monopolanbieter neigen leider dazu, ihre Stellung zu missbrauchen.
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
Relaxing the build-out ratio and increasing the maximum building height would serve the goal of denser construction. Interest rates? What do investors say about the times when mortgage interest rates were 6-7%?
Die Lockerung des Ausnutzungsziffern und die Erhöhung der maximalen Bauhöhe würden dem Ziel der verdichteten Bauweise dienen. Zinsen? Was sagen die Investoren zu den Zeiten,als die Hypothekarzinsen 6 bis 7 % betrugen?
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
I am convinced that it is hardly possible today to justify a greater difference. However, this topic will continue to cause discussions in the coming decades. There will probably still be individual cases in the future. However, I think it is unnecessary to spend a huge amount of time and effort on bureaucracy.
Ich bin überzeugt, dass es heute kaum mehr möglich ist, einen grösseren Unterschied zu rechtfertigen. Dieses Thema wird aber auch in den nächsten Jahrzehnten weiterhin für Diskussionen sorgen. Einzelfälle wird es vermutlich auch in Zukunft geben. Dafür aber einen riesigen bürokratischen Aufwand zu betreiben, finde ich unnötig.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Through traffic must be able to move quickly.
Der Durchgangsverkehr muss zügig erfolgen können.
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
Banning is not the right solution for me. Electric cars are not the only right solution. Technology will continue to advance over the next few years. A ban would force many to act, although there might be a better solution a little later.
Verbieten ist für mich nicht die richtige Lösung. Elektroautos sind nicht die einzige richtige Lösung. Die Technik wird in den nächsten Jahren weiter Fortschritte machen. Ein Verbot würde viele zum Handeln zwingen, obwohl es möglicherweise wenig später eine besserte Lösung gäbe.
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
The room for maneuver for incentives is large and should be used.
Der Handlungsspielraum für Anreize ist gross und sollte genutzt 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
Conflicting goals are unavoidable. There will be situations where environmental and landscape protection will have to make sacrifices.
Zielkonflikte sind unvermeidbar. Es wird Situationen geben, wo der Umwelt- und Landschaftsschutz Opfer bringen muss.
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
If we don't manage to cover our electricity needs even in the months with less sun and wind. I would rather we have our own nuclear power plants with our strict regulations than import nuclear power from plants that are less safe.
Wenn es uns nicht gelingt, den Strombedarf auch in den sonnen- und windärmeren Monaten zu decken. Es ist mir lieber, wir haben unsere eigenen Atomkraftwerke mit unseren strengen Auflagen, als dass wir Atomstrom importieren von Anlagen, die weniger sicher sind.
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 question of cost/benefit will play a major role here. In principle, peripheral regions should also benefit from public service offerings.
Die Frage nach Kosten/Nutzen wird hier eine wesentliche Rolle spielen. Grundsätzlich sollten auch Randregionen vom Service-Public-Angebot profitieren.
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
I reject this unequal treatment. Anyone who consumes electricity should strive to keep consumption as low as possible.
Ich lehne diese Ungleichbehandlung ab. Wer Strom verbraucht, sollte sich bemühen, den Verbrauch so tief wie möglich zu halten.
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
Those that have no natural enemies must be nurtured and cared for by gamekeepers. The freely available area required for wild animals is not enough for uncontrolled spread. Sooner or later, the animals will get used to people and appear in villages and towns.
Wer keine natürlichen Feinde hat, muss durch Jagdaufseher gehegt und gepflegt werden. Die für die Wildtiere erforderliche frei verfügbare Fläche reicht nicht für eine unkontrollierte Ausbreitung. Früher oder später werden sich die Tiere an die Menschen gewöhnen und in Dörfern und Städten auftauchen.
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I am convinced that Swiss farmers do their best to run their farms as ecologically as possible. In my opinion, a restriction would no longer have much effect.
Ich bin überzeugt, dass die Schweizer Bauern ihr bestes geben, um ihren Betrieb möglichst ökologisch zu führen. Eine Einschränkung würde meines Erachtens nicht mehr viel bewirken.
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 would possibly reduce the number of farm animals, which would result in a price increase. I would accept this. Those who are not willing to pay a higher price can reduce their meat consumption somewhat.
Dies würde möglicherweise die Anzahl der Nutztiere reduzieren, was eine Preissteigerung zur Folge hätte. Dies würde ich akzeptieren. Wer nicht bereit ist, einen höheren Preis zu bezahlen, kann den Fleischkonsum etwas reduzieren.
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
What about the desired high self-sufficiency target? I am of the opinion that biodiversity should be given much more attention than it has received so far. The 30% is not very meaningful for me.
Wie steht es mit dem angestrebten hohen Selbstversorgungsziel? Ich bin der Meinung, dass der Biodiversität eine deutlich höhere Beachtung zu schenken ist, als bisher. Die 30% sind für mich wenig aussagekräftig.
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
The wear and tear is far too high. Unfortunately, it has not been possible to appeal to people's common sense.
Der Verschleiss ist viel zu hoch. Leider war es bisher nicht möglich an die Vernunft der Menschen zu appellieren.
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
Moving away from the throwaway society is a sustainable solution. However, implementation is likely to be difficult.
Weg von der Wegwerfgesellschaft ist eine nachhaltige Lösung. Die Umsetzung dürfte allerdings schwierig werden.
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
Until the health issues are resolved, I am cautious.
Solange die gesundheitlichen Fragen nicht geklärt sind, bin ich vorsichtig.
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
Digitization at national level must be prioritized. One prerequisite is that costs can be reduced. However, I doubt that the federal government is in a position to prescribe the right standards. Finding consensus may take a little longer, but should promote mutual understanding and acceptance of the solution.
Die Digitalisierung auf nationaler Ebene muss priorisiert werden. Eine Voraussetzung, dass Kosten reduziert werden können. Ich zweifele jedoch daran, dass der Bund in der Lage ist, die richtigen Standards vorzugeben. Die Konsensfindung mag etwas länger dauern, dürfte das gegenseitige Verständnis und die Akzeptanz der Lösung fördern.
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
The influence of these media on citizens is enormous. Therefore, stronger regulation and increased liability for content is welcome.
Der Einfluss dieser Medien auf die Bürgerinnen und Bürger ist enorm. Deshalb ist eine stärkere Regulierung und eine verstärkte Haftung für Inhalte begrüssenswert.
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
Too many broadcasts that are questionable for me. Until now, I was of the opinion that the available financial resources must be too high when I followed certain broadcasts. A cost analysis would be quite useful.
Zu viele Sendungen, die für mich fraglich sind. Bisher war ich der Meinung, dass die zur Verfügung stehenden finanziellen Mittel zu hoch sein müssen, wenn ich gewisse Sendungen verfolgte. Eine Kostenanalyse wäre durchaus mal sinnvoll.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Being subject to youth protection at the age of 16, but at the same time assuming full responsibility like adults - that's not possible. The consequences of many votes are associated with high costs. People who don't pay taxes see things differently.
Mit 16 Jahren dem Jugendschutz unterstehen, aber gleichzeitig volle Verantwortung übernehmen wie Volljährige- das geht nicht. Die Folgen vieler Abstimmungen sind mit hohen Kosten verbunden. Wer keine Steuern bezahlt, sieht das mit anderen Augen.
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)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
This could potentially render the federal government incapable of acting for a longer period of time if contracts are to be concluded but would first have to be approved by the people.
Das könnte den Bund möglicherweise über einen längeren Zeitraum handlungsunfähig machen, wenn Verträge abzuschliessen sind, jedoch erst noch vom Volk genehmigt werden müssten.
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
As long as there is no concrete need, or no corresponding training program, I see no need.
Solange kein konkreter Bedarf, bzw. kein entsprechendes Ausbildungsprogramm besteht, sehe ich keine Notwendigkeit.
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
Cooperation in the field of training is ok. However, neutrality must not be violated under any circumstances.
Zusammenarbeit im Ausbildungsbereich ist ok. Die Neutralität darf jedoch keines Falls verletzt werden.
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
A country that is attacked in violation of international law has the right to defend itself. Otherwise, there is a danger that certain powers will again succumb to a mania for conquest. In the case of Ukraine, the UN General Assembly finds a qualified violation of the prohibition of the use of force and an armed attack, which would allow the re-export of Swiss weapons.
Ein Land, das völkerrechtswidrig angegriffen wird, hat das Recht sich zu verteidigen. Andernfalls besteht die Gefahr, dass gewisse Mächte wieder einem Eroberungswahnsinn erliegen. Im Falle der Ukraine stellt die UNO-Generalversammlung eine qualifizierte Verletzung des Gewaltverbots und einen bewaffneten Angriff fest, womit die Wiederausfuhr von Schweizer Waffen erlaubt wäre.

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
The Schengen Agreement has failed. It worked as long as everything went according to plan. It is unsuitable for crisis situations.
Das Schengen-Abkommen hat versagt. Es funktionierte, solange alles nach Plan lief. Für Krisenfälle ist es untauglich.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Only on a contractual basis. I refuse an automatic assumption of duties.
Nur auf Vertragsbasis. Eine automatische Übernahme von Pflichten lehne ich ab.
Seek a comprehensive free trade agreement with the United States
Should Switzerland strive for a comprehensive free trade agreement (including agriculture) with the USA?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Free trade yes, but not at any price.
Freihandel ja, aber nicht um jeden Preis.
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
The government of a country has to ensure that its population is not exploited by either domestic or foreign companies. It is also responsible for ensuring compliance with environmental standards. Unfortunately, quite a few governments fail in this respect. The controls and bureaucracy would be huge if Swiss companies had to guarantee compliance. The existing regulations for Swiss companies should be sufficient.
Die Regierung eines Landes hat dafür zu sorgen, dass seine Bevölkerung weder von inländischen noch ausländischen Unternehmen ausgebeutet wird. Ebenso trägt sie die Verantwortung für die Einhaltung von Umweltstandards. Leider versagen in dieser Hinsicht etliche Regierungen. Die Kontrollen und der bürokratische Aufwand wäre riesig, sollten Schweizer Unternehmen für die Einhaltung garantieren müssen. Die bestehenden Vorschriften für Schweizer Unternehmen sollten ausreichen.
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
At the moment, this is not a pressing issue. The further development of how Switzerland is treated by the EU is likely to be decisive. Switzerland certainly has its strengths.
Zur Zeit drängst sich dies nicht auf. Massgebend dürfte die weitere Entwicklung sein, wie die Schweiz von der EU behandelt wird. Die Schweiz hat durchaus ihre Stärken.
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
Switzerland must not become the stooge of criminal governments or members of governments. The boundaries of neutrality will continue to be carved in the future. The Ukraine case is one such instance.
Die Schweiz darf nicht zum Handlanger krimineller Regierungen oder Regierungsmitgliedern werden. Die Grenzen der Neutralität werden auch in Zukunft geritzt werden. Der Fall Ukraine ist so ein Fall.
