Welfare state & family
Raise the retirement age to 67
Do you support an increase in the retirement age (e.g., to 67)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Health insurance premiums
Should the federal government allocate more funding for health insurance premium subsidies?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
The funds should be used for prevention (healthy food, nutritional supplements (where necessary, older people in any case), healthy water, fitness, etc.).
Die Mittel sollten für Prävention (Gesundes Essen, Nahrungsergänzungsmittel (wo nötig, ältere Menschen auf jeden Fall), gesundes Wasser, Fitness usw.) eingesetzt 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
I am too little informed for that.
Dazu bin ich zuwenig informiert.
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 pensions should enable a comfortable retirement. So there will also be many volunteers who help other people. Everybody wins.
Die Renten sollen einen angenehmen Lebensabend ermöglichen. So wird es auch viele Freiwillige geben, welche anderen Menschen helfen. Es gewinnen alle.
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
No, if possible only 1 parent should have to work as long as the children go to school. This is how it was in the 70's for example. The goal must be: The children should have a protected haven at home, where at least 1 parent lives at home. At the moment, this is wishful thinking, but one should calmly set it as a goal.
Nein, es soll möglichst nur 1 Elternteil arbeiten müssen, solange die Kinder in die Schule gehen. So war es in den 70er Jahren zum Beispiel. Das Ziel muss heissen: Die Kinder sollen zu Hause einen geschützten Hafen haben, wo mindestens 1 Elternteil zu Hause lebt. Momentan ist das Wunschdenken, aber man soll es ruhig als Ziel setzen.
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
Housing construction is generally not considered eligible for subsidies. Renovation and expansion is fine, that may be subsidized, almost without limits. It must be discussed where we want to go. More and more inhabitants, without limits? My political goal in the fragment: where the infrastructure is not given, it is not allowed to build. First, the infrastructure must be created (of course, environmentally and socially compatible), only then may be built. As much greening as possible, not as much building as possible
Wohnungsbau gilt generell nicht als förderungswürdig. Renovieren und Ausbauen ist in Ordnung, das darf gefördert werden, beinahe grenzenlos. Es muss diskutiert werden, wohin wir wollen. Immer mehr Einwohner, grenzenlos? Mein politisches Ziel in dem Fragment: wo die Infrastruktur nicht gegeben ist, darf auch nicht gebaut werden. Zuerst muss die Infrastruktur (natürlich umwelt und sozial verträglich) erstellt werden, erst dann darf gebaut werden. Möglichst viel begrünt, nicht möglichst viel gebaut
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
Personal integrity always comes first! As long as vaccinations do not have to meet the standard of medicines (double-blind studies are not required, for example), vaccinations cannot even be medically recommended. The state does not have the competence to say what is good for the citizen.
Die persönliche Unversehrtheit geht immer vor! Solange Imfpungen nicht den Standard von Medikamenten erfüllen müssen (Doppelblindstudien sind nicht verlangt, zum Beispiel) können Impfungen nicht mal medizinisch empfohlen werden. Der Staat hat nicht die Kompetenz zu sagen, was für den Bürger gut ist.
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
Every sensible person consumes as little artificial sugar as possible.
Jeder vernünftige Mensch nimmt möglichst wenig künstlichen Zucker zu sich.
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 should be able to decide that for themselves.
Das soll jeder selbst entscheiden können.
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
Real pandemics can not arise at all with hygiene and healthy food and healthy joyful people. The right of self-determination is to be respected and stands above everything! A few people determine whether a pandemic exists or not, that is not acceptable!
Echte Pandemien können bei Hygiene und gesundem Essen und gesunden lebensfrohen Menschen gar nicht entstehen. Das Selbstbestimmungsrecht ist zu respektieren und steht über allem! Ein paar wenige Leute, bestimmen, ob eine Pandemie besteht oder nicht, das geht nicht an!
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
The federal government has to hold back, in all areas.
Der Bund hat sich zurückzuhalten, in allen Bereichen.
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 may be possible on a small scale, but it can only be regulated individually in cooperation with parents and teachers. Under no circumstances should this become a rigid regulation.
Im kleinen Massstab mag das gehen, aber das kann nur individuell geregelt werden in Zusammenarbeit mit Eltern und Lehrpersonen. Keinesfalls darf das eine starre Regelung werden.
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
I'm not informed enough.
Da bin ich zuwenig informiert.
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
Anyone who wants to can achieve anything today, even on a low income. Do an apprenticeship and off you go, given the right aptitude. There is no need for the state to intervene.
Wer will, kann heute alles erreichen, auch mit geringem Einkommen. Eine Lehre machen und ab geht die Post, bei entsprechender Eignung. Da braucht es kein Eingreifen vom Staat.
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
What is the purpose? What is the goal?
Wozu soll das gut sein? Was ist das Ziel?
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 you strengthen the families who live in Switzerland, there will automatically be enough skilled workers, if it is a pleasure to raise children, more children will be born. Home-grown children are to be preferred if the aptitude and the will is given.
Wenn man die Familien stärkt, welche in der Schweiz wohnen, wird es automatisch genug Fachkräfte geben, wenn es Freude macht, Kinder grosszuziehen, werden auch mehr Kinder geboren. Eigengewächs gilt es zu bevorzugen, wenn die Eignung und der Wille gegeben ist.
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
Today, asylum seekers are often mainly looking for money to be sent to their home countries. This is not to be supported. Rather direct, controlled help on the spot!
Asylsuchende suchen heute oft vor allem Geld, das in die Heimatländer geschickt wird. Das gilt es nicht zu unterstützen. Eher direkte, kontrollierte Hilfe vor Ort!
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
Either you have the Swiss passport, or you don't.
Entweder hat man den Schweizer Pass, oder man hat ihn nicht.
Society & ethics
Legalize cannabis use
Should cannabis use be legalized? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I know too little about the subject.
Ich kenne mich in der Thematik zuwenig aus.
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
That is a difficult question. I think that euthanasia should not be promoted.
Das ist eine schwierige Frage. Ich finde man sollte Sterbehilfe nicht fördern.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale
Should a third official gender be introduced alongside "female" and "male"?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Man, woman, child point!
Mann, Frau, Kind Punkt!
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
Nature speaks a simple clear language.
Die Natur spricht eine einfache klare Sprache.
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
Administration and federal spending should be reduced as much as possible. Quality instead of quantity!
Die Verwaltung und Bundesausgaben sollten soweit wie möglich verringert werden. Qualität statt Quantität!
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Rather tax relief for families with children, Or couples who take in children and care for them. Individuals are individuals, couples are couples. It's all very clear!
Eher Steuererleichterungen für Familien mit Kindern, Oder Paare, welche Kinder aufnehmen und für sie sorgen. Einzelpersonen sind Einzelpersonen, Paare sind Paare. Es ist alles ganz klar!
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
Why should an inheritance be taxed, it is already taxed via the wealth tax. I am not envious of rich people. Rich people are not the problem, but the system that makes extremely rich people richer, that is the problem.
Warum soll ein Erbe besteuert werden, es wird ja schon über die Vermögenssteuer besteuert. Ich bin nicht neidisch auf reiche Menschen. Reiche Menschen sind nicht das Problem, sondern das System, das extrem reiche Menschen reicher macht, das ist das Problem.
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
No, each canton should look after itself. Self-determination is our highest good, that's what makes a person. Socialist collectivization prevents people from taking responsibility for themselves.
Nein, jeder Kanton soll selbst für sich schauen. Selbstbestimmung ist unser höchstes Gut, das macht den Menschen aus. Sozialistische Kollektivierung hindert die Menschen, Selbstverantwortung zu übernehmen.
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
No, money is not the way to go. Strengthen small and medium-sized enterprises, they pay decent wages, otherwise they won't get good employees. A good working atmosphere is just as important as wages.
Nein, Geld ist nicht das Mittel der Wahl. Kleine und mittlere Unternehmen stärken, die bezahlen anständige Löhne, sonst bekommen die keine guten Mitarbeiter. Ein gutes Arbeitsklima ist genau so wichtig wie der Lohn.
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
UBS should not exist as it does now. There should be no banks that are "too big to fail.
Eine UBS wie jetzt dürfte es gar nicht geben. Es dürfte keine Banken geben, die "too big to fail" sind.
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
Rather, electricity and water , everything that is necessary for our lives, should be nationalized.
Eher sollten Strom und Wasser , alles was für unser Leben notwendig ist, verstaatlicht werden.
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 should be less building in general. There are too few green spaces.
Es sollte generell weniger gebaut werden. Es gibt zuwenig Grünflächen.
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
That should decide the employers, who must pay finally! Since man and woman are not biologically equal, there is in certain situations a different cost ratio for the employer, between the sexes, this must be allowed to consider the employer.
Das sollen die Arbeitgeber entscheiden, die müssen schliesslich bezahlen! Da Mann und Frau biologisch nicht gleich sind, gibt sich bei gewissen Situationen ein anderes Kostenverhältnis für den Arbeitgeber, zwischen den Geschlechtern, dieses muss der Arbeitgeber berücksichtigen dürfen.
Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Wherever there is expansion, demand increases. We need to discuss where we want to go. 15 million Switzerland or a maximum of 9 million Switzerland? Answers like these depend on that.
Wo ausgebaut wird, steigt die Nachfrage. Es gilt zu diskutieren, wo wir hin wollen. 15 Millionen Schweiz oder maximal 9 Millionen Schweiz? Davon hängen Antworten wie diese ab.
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
No, it could be that hydrogen engines make progress. Besides, poorer people will be disadvantaged!
Nein, es könnte sein, das Wasserstoffmotoren Fortschritte machen. Ausserdem werden so ärmere Menschen benachteiligt!
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
Switzerland cannot have any climate targets at all, because the climate cannot be influenced, or at most only marginally.
Die Schweiz kann gar keine Klimaziele haben, weil das Klima nicht beeinflussbar ist, oder höchstens ganz marginal.
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
No way, it's about including the grey energies that "renewable energies" consume, which unfortunately is not done until today.
Auf keinen Fall, es geht darum, die grauen Energien, welche "erneuerbare Energien" verbrauchen mit einzuberechnen, was leider bis heute nicht geschieht.
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
I would rather do without it, but if we want to say goodbye to gas and oil, we can't get around nuclear power plants at the moment. Unless we massively reduce the number of inhabitants and our luxuries, our standard of living cannot be achieved with windmills.
ich würde lieber darauf verzichten, aber wenn wir uns von Gas und Öl verabschieden wollen, kommen wir momentan nicht um Atomkraftwerke herum. Es sei denn, wir reduzieren die Einwohnerzahl und unseren Luxus massiv, mit Windmühlen lässt sich unser Lebensstandard nicht über die Bühne bringen.
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
With a sense of proportion, not with a watering can
Mit Augenmass, nicht mit der Giesskanne
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
Individual responsibility must be written in capital letters. With constraints, one only achieves different disadvantages (certain industries naturally need more electricity than others).
Eigenverantwortung muss gross geschrieben werden. Mit Zwängen erreicht man nur unterschiedliche Benachteiligungen (gewisse Gewerbe brauchen naturgemäss mehr Strom als andere)
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
You have to let the people concerned decide! We cannot rise above mountain areas, for example, that is very antisocial.
Man muss die Betroffenen entscheiden lassen! Wir können uns nicht über Berggebiete erheben, zum Beispiel, das ist sehr asozial.
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Direct payments should only be made for healthy products and services. No watering can for large farms where profit is the priority.
Direktzahlungen sollten nur für gesunde Produkte und Leistungen erbracht werden. Keine Giesskanne für Grossbetriebe, wo der Profit im Vordergrund steht.
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
Serious criminals are kept in luxury, for comparison like our pigs for example. It is quite bad how most "farm animals" are kept with us. Pigs, which have never seen grass can already be organic.
Schwerverbrecher werden in Luxus gehalten, zum Vergleich wie unsere Schweine zum Beispiel. Es ist ganz schlimm, wie die meisten "Nutztiere" bei uns gehalten werden. Schweine, welche noch nie Gras gesehen haben kann schon Bio sein.
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
Everything that benefits people is to be supported! An intact environment is the most important good for us and all!
Alles was dem Menschen zu Gute kommt, ist zu unterstützen! Eine intakte Umwelt ist das wichtigste Gut für uns und alle!
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
That's bullshit, the overall picture has to be taken into account. Bans are to be reduced anyway. Ecology must be financially viable and transparent. Otherwise it will not succeed.
Das ist Schwachsinn, es gilt die Gesamtschau zu berücksichtigen. Verbote sind sowieso zu verringern. Ökologie muss finanzierbar und transparent sein. Sonst hat es keinen Erfolg.
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
Actually, yes, but going it alone is impossible. The devices today are designed in such a way that they break down after a certain period of time. This is a generally bad mentality of the Grosskunsum, which a majority of people support. This can only be changed in the children, from the adults you can not expect much in this respect.
Eigentlich ja, aber ein Alleingang ist unmöglich. Die Geräte werden ja heute so konstruiert, dass sie nach einer bestimmten Dauer kaputt gehen. Das ist eine allgmein schlechte Mentalität vom Grosskunsum, den eine Mehrzahl von Menschen unterstützt. Das kann man nur bei den Kindern ändern, von den Erwachsenen kann man in der Hinsicht nicht mehr viel erwarten.
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 not. As long as it is not communicated what it is actually good for and before all the arguments of the critics concerning the dangers have been transparently dispelled, such a technology should not be introduced at all.
Auf keinen Fall. Solange nicht kommuiziert wird, wozu das eigentlich gut sein soll und bevor alle Argumente der Kritiker betreffend Gefahren transparent ausgeräumt sind, dürfte man so eine Technik gar nicht einführen.
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
No, federalism has made Switzerland strong, centralization helps no one. Look EU... where is it heading?
Nein, der Föderalismus hat die Schweiz stark gemacht, eine Zentralisierung hilft niemandem. Schaue EU.. wo steuert sie hin?
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
No, every citizen can inform himself and decide what he wants to believe and what not. The basis of free self-determination is that everyone can make his opinion known, even if it contradicts "state opinions"! (Keyword: Russia)
Nein, jeder Bürger kann sich selbst informieren und entscheiden, was er glauben will und was nicht. Die Grundlage freier Selbstbestimmung ist, dass jeder seine Meinung kundtun kann, auch wenn sie "staatlichen Meinungen" widerspricht! (Stichwort: Russland)
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
Fully and completely. SRF should become a pure information station, without blinkers and censorship. Culture should be with the people, in the community halls, the TV station can report on it, no more and no less.
Voll und ganz. SRF soll ein reiner Informationssender werden, ohne Scheuklappen und Zensur. Kultur soll bei den Menschen sein, in den Gemeindesäälen, der Fernsehsender kann darüber berichten, nicht mehr und nicht weniger.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
What's the point, people should first get to know working life, only then is there a basis for making decisions of consequence.
Wozu auch, Menschen sollen erst das Arbeitsleben kennenlernen, erst dann ist die Grundlage da, Entscheidungen von Tragweite zu fassen.
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
Yes, why not!
Ja, warum nicht!
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
No, the army should adapt to the respective threat situation. A militia army can do that best. But the "threat situation" of Switzerland is not even openly discussed. Who should be able to become our enemy? Has any Federal Council ever communicated this?
Nein, die Armee soll sich der jeweiligen Bedrohungslage anpassen. Das kann eine Milizarmee am besten. Aber die "Bedrohungslage" der Schweiz wird gar nicht offen diskutiert. Wer soll unser Feind werden können? Hat das schon jemals ein Bundesrat kommuniziert?
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
No way! Give up even more self-determination?
Auf keinen Fall! Noch mehr Selbstbestimmung aus der Hand geben?
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
Absolutely not. International law has often been disregarded by large powerful states. Therefore, we cannot rely on it. What is not our war is none of our business in terms of war, because in a war the truth can never really be ascertained. Thus we keep ourselves out of it!
Auf keinen Fall. Das Völkerrecht wurde schon oft von grossen mächtigen Staaten missachtet. Deshalb können wir uns nicht auf jenes verlassen. Was nicht unser Krieg ist, geht uns in kriegerischer Hinsicht nichts an, weil bei einem Krieg die Wahrheit nie wirklich ermittelbar ist. So halten wir uns da heraus!
Scumonda da visar automaticamain la fatscha en locals publics
Should automatic facial recognition be banned in public spaces?

Yes, the best security is a healthy satisfied population with intact families and friendship circles.
Ja, die beste Sicherheit ist eine gesunde zufriedene Bevölkerung mit intakten Familien und Freundschaftskreisen.
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
If the situation requires it, then yes. If partners do not abide by the agreement, consequences must be drawn.
Sollte es die Situation erfordern, dann ja. Wenn sich Partner nicht an das Abkommen halten, muss man Konsequenzen ziehen.
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
No, but close relations with all states in the world!
Nein, aber enge Beziehungen zu allen Staaten auf der Welt!
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
No way, that's ecological bullshit.
Auf keinen Fall, das ist ökologischer Blödsinn.
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
Who wants to control it? Who pays for the controls? Introducing unenforceable obligations, what does that do for the citizen?
Wer will das kontrollieren? Wer bezahlt die Kontrollen? Nicht durchsetzbare Verpflichtungen einführen, was bringt das dem Bürger?
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
It must be decided on a case-by-case basis. An agreement with the EU is out of the question as long as the EU is "governed" in a centralist way.
Es ist von Fall zu Fall zu entscheiden. Mit der EU ein Abkommen kommt nicht in Frage, solange die EU zentralistisch "regiert" wird.
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
Yes it should, even if it "may cost something". We should try to build a friendship with all countries of the world. This is possible only with a neutral attitude. Neutral attitude does not mean that one may not criticize things. But because often the truth is not ascertainable, it is also not allowed to condemn.
Ja das sollte sie, auch wenn das "etwas kosten mag". Wir sollten mit allen Länder der Welt versuchen eine Freundschaft aufzubauen. Das geht nur mit neutraler Haltung. Neutrale Haltung heisst nicht, dass man Dinge nicht kritisieren darf. Weil aber oft die Wahrheit nicht ermittelbar ist, darf auch nicht verurteilt werden.

Comment
Environmental protection must nevertheless remain affordable. The environment is most damaged where bad economies are at home. Economy cannot grow forever. The economy must go into circulation.
Umweltschutz muss trotzdem bezahlbar bleiben. Die Umwelt wird dort am meisten geschunden, wo schlechte Wirtschaften zu Hause sind. Wirtschaft kann nicht ewig wachsen. Die Wirtschaft muss in den Kreislauf gehen.
Federal budget

The only way to unite countries today is through friendships. Make friends with all countries in the world. Student exchanges financed by the military, all over the world! Such children will never shoot at each other!

Too much money ends up in non-transparent channels. Only directly controllable projects should be financed (wells, schools, etc.).
Es landet zu viel Geld in undurchsichtigen Kanälen. Es sollen nur direkt kontrollierbare Projekte finanziert werden (Brunnen, Schulen ect.)

People are already all at the breaking point. It can't go on like this. Working longer is certainly not a solution for giving people a life worth living. If the resources are used properly, people should work less as employees rather than more. At least that should be the goal.
Die Menschen sind jetzt schon alle am Anschlag. Es kann nicht so weiter gehen. Länger Arbeiten ist bestimmt keine Lösung, um den Menschen ein lebenswertes Leben zu ermöglichen. Wenn die Mittel richtig eingesetzt werden, sollten die Menschen als Angestellte eher weniger arbeiten als mehr. Zumindest sollte das das Ziel sein.
