Health insurance premiums
Should the federal government allocate more funding for health insurance premium subsidies?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
|---|---|---|---|

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I am against any compulsory vaccination.
Ich bin gegen jegliche Impfpflicht.
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
Sugar may be harmful in excessive amounts, but I am opposed to new taxes and to taxes as dietary control measures.
Zucker mag in zu hohen Mengen schädlich sein, aber ich bin gegen neue Steuern und gegen Steuern als Lenkungsmassnahmen bei der Ernährung.
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
In connection with the constantly rising health insurance costs, this measure seems necessary to me.
Im Zusammenhang mit den stetig steigenden Krankenkassen-Kosten scheint mir diese Massnahme notwendig.
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
Yes, these must be restricted. Freedom is not a fun good - we believe in freedom as a precious good because free societies have always fared better than unfree societies. No matter what system man lives in (communism, capitalism, etc.), man makes mistakes. The point is to have a system in which mistakes are quickly corrected. This is the case in free societies.
Ja, diese müssen eingeschränkt werden. Freiheit ist nicht ein Spassgut - wir glauben an die Freiheit als kostbares Gut, weil freie Gesellschaften immer besser gefahren sind als unfreie Gesellschaften. Egal in welchem System der Mensch lebt (Kommunismus, Kapitalismus, etc.), der Mensch macht Fehler. Es geht darum ein System zu haben, in welchem Fehler schnell korrigiert werden. Dies ist in freien Gesellschaften der Fall.
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
I am against centralism.
Ich bin gegen Zentralismus.
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 not an expert, but I think that children should be divided into classes according to their learning ability. The point is to support each child in the best possible way.
Ich bin nicht Experte, allerdings denke ich das Kinder gemäss ihrem Lernvermögen in Klassen eingeteilt werden sollten. Es geht darum, jedes Kind bestmöglich zu unterstützen.
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
Even though I'm looking at this more from a distance, I generally see more of a deterioration, not an improvement, in the knowledge of high school students over the past few years as a college professor.
Auch wenn ich das eher aus der Ferne betrachte, ich sehe in den vergangenen Jahren als Hochschullehrer generell eher eine Verschlechterung und nicht eine Verbesserung des Wissens der Gymnasiasten.
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
I'm not sure how these vouchers are going to work. If it's the ability of parents to decide for themselves which schools their children go to, then I'm for it. If the state ends up deciding again what can and can't be, I'm against it.
Ich bin mir nicht sicher, wie diese Gutscheine funktionieren sollen. Wenn es die Möglichkeit der Eltern, selber entscheiden zu können, in welche Schulen ihre Kinder gehen, dann bin ich dafür. Wenn der Staat am Ende wieder bestimmt, was sein darf und was nicht, bin ich dagegen.
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
In principle, no. However, the municipalities should be free to decide (within a certain framework).
Grundsätzlich nein. Allerdings sollen die Gemeinden (innerhalb eines gewissen Rahmens) frei entscheiden können.
Increase the quota of third-country nationals for skilled workers
Should more qualified workers from non-EU/EFTA countries be allowed to work in Switzerland (increase third-country quota)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
I would be in favor of it in principle, but not at this point in time. First, the free movement of persons with the EU would have to fall.
Ich wäre grundsätzlich dafür, aber nicht zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt. Zuerst müsste die Personenfreizügigkeit mit der EU fallen.
Asylum procedures outside Europe
Do you support efforts to house asylum seekers in centers outside Europe during the asylum procedure?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Voting rights for foreigners
Should foreign nationals who have lived in Switzerland for at least ten years be granted the right to vote and stand for election at the municipal level?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In cities with a large proportion of foreigners, this may make sense, provided that these foreigners actually lived in the same municipality for ten years. I would be a bit more open to this request if the strong immigration in Switzerland would finally be reduced. As of today, I would rather say no to this request.
In Städten mit grossem Ausländeranteil mag dies sinnvoll sein, sofern diese Ausländer auch wirklich zehn Jahre in der gleichen Gemeinde lebten. Ich wäre diesem Anliegen ein Stück weiter offen, wenn die starke Einwanderung in der Schweiz endlich reduziert würde. Stand heute sage ich Eher Nein zu diesem Anliegen.

Comment
Long-term damage.
Langzeitschäden.
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
As much as I would like to allow each individual the greatest freedom of choice, I must state that the supreme imperative of the state must be to protect life.
So sehr ich jedem Einzelnen die grösste Wahlfreiheit gestatten möchte, so muss ich doch festhalten, dass es das oberste Gebot des Staates sein muss, das Leben zu schützen.
Introdurre un terzo sesso ufficiale

|---|---|---|---|
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
Indeed. A government that trusts its citizens is against high taxes.
In der Tat. Eine Regierung, welche den Bürgern und Bürgerinnen vertraut, ist gegen hohe Steuern.
Tax married couples individually
Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Rather no, because I am in favor of marriage.
Eher Nein, denn ich bin für die Ehe.
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
No. The greed of the state seems to have no end. Gaht's no.
Nein. Die Gier des Staates scheint kein Ende zu haben. Gaht's no.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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, this is socialist nonsense. This only leads to higher youth unemployment. This is the positive approach: If the state withdraws strongly from the economy, then the economy recovers and the unemployment figures decrease. And then the economy has to pay higher wages.
Nein, das ist ein sozialistischer Unsinn. Dies führt nur zu höherer Jugendarbeitslosigkeit. Dies ist der positive Ansatz: Wenn der Staat sich aus der Wirtschaft stark zurückzieht, dann erholt sich diese und die Arbeitslosenzahlen nehmen ab. Und dann muss die Wirtschaft höhere Löhne bezahlen.
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
In principle, yes, but I am not a banker.
Grundsätzlich ja, aber ich bin kein Banker.

|---|---|---|---|
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
Switzerland is overbuilt in very many places. I don't want any more densified living.

Energy & transport
Restructure heavily trafficked sections of the highway
Should busy sections of highways be widened?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
In principle, yes, but the free movement of persons and the associated mass immigration must be resolved first.
Grundsätzlich ja, aber die Personenfreizügigkeit und die damit verbundene Masseneinwanderung muss zuerst gelöst werden.
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
Absolutely not. Electric cars are interesting technology, but they also have their downsides. Driving cars for a long time is economical and ecological. In any case, freedom of choice must apply.
Auf gar keinen Fall. Elektroautos sind interessante Technologie, haben aber auch ihre Schattenseiten. Autos lange fahren ist ökonomisch und ökologisch. Auf jeden Fall muss Wahlfreiheit gelten.
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
We have bigger problems. I don't believe in a climate catastrophe.
Wir haben grössere Probleme. An eine Klimakatastrophe glaube ich nicht.
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
It doesn't make sense. Either we want to protect the environment or we don't.
Das macht keinen Sinn. Entweder wollen wir die Umwelt schützen oder wir wollen es 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
This is even urgently necessary for our power supply; especially if one is as against fossil fuels as the present governments. New NPPs are also safer than old ones!
Das ist sogar dringend nötig für unsere Stromversorgung; vor allem wenn man derart gegen fossile Brennstoffe ist wie die heutigen Regierungen. Neue KKW sind auch sicherer als alte!
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
What does comprehensive mean? Post offices and post buses Yes.
Was heisst umfassend? Poststellen und Postautos Ja.
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 am against the forced introduction of smart meters. However, electricity providers must be allowed to react to the market.
Ich bin gegen die zwangsweise Einführung von Smart-Meters. Das Strom-Anbieter auf den Markt reagieren dürfen, muss allerdings schon erlaubt sein.
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
The revised hunting law was rejected. You have to respect a vote. If this were to come up for a vote again, I would be in favor of relaxing it. But I don't want to be in favor of a new vote, so soon after the rejection.
Das revidierte Jagdgesetz wurde abgelehnt. Man muss eine Abstimmung respektieren. Sollte dies wieder zur Abstimmung kommen, wäre ich für eine Lockerung. Aber ich will mich nicht für eine neue Abstimmung einsetzen, so kurz nach der Ablehnung.
Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?

Comment
You can't turn all good ideas into laws.

Mobile phone network (5G)
Should the Swiss mobile network be equipped throughout the country with the latest technology (currently 5G standard)?

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
In no case the so-called 'fight against disinformation'. Free expression of opinion!
Auf gar keinen Fall die sogenannte 'Bekämpfung von Desinformation'. Freie Meinungsäusserung!
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
Yes, I support this, because the SRF is one-sided. It also does not need an all-day offer paid even by those who do not consume it at all.
Ja, ich unterstütze diese, denn die SRF ist einseitig. Es braucht auch nicht ein Ganztagesangebot bezahlt auch von solchen, welche es gar nicht konsumieren.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
No. Age of majority should have meaning again. Until then, the parents have the say.
Nein. Volljährigkeitsalter soll wieder eine Bedeutung haben. Bis dahin haben die Eltern das Sagen.
Introducing an optional financial referendum against federal spending

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
If I understand the question correctly, it's not about moving away from the militia system (because I would be against that), but about more national defense within our militia system.
Falls ich die Frage richtig verstehe, geht es nicht um eine Abkehr vom Milizsystem (denn da wäre ich dagegen), sonder um mehr Landesverteidigung innerhalb unseres Milizsystems.
Strengthening cooperation between the Swiss army and NATO
Should the Swiss Armed Forces expand their cooperation with NATO?

Switzerland does not change its laws under pressure from abroad. What has been decided has been decided. Switzerland is neutral and independent.
Die Schweiz ändert ihre Gesetze nicht unter dem Druck des Auslandes. Was entschieden wurde, wurde entschieden. Die Schweiz ist neutral und selbständig.

The law of the foreign country applies abroad. Do not create a mess of provisions, which may then even be contradictory.
Im Ausland gilt das Recht des Auslandes. Kreiert nicht ein Durcheinander von Bestimmungen, welche eventuell dann sogar noch widersprüchlich sind.
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
A project that does not produce the desired result for decades must be abandoned. We have had the free movement of persons for a long time, and we still don't have enough skilled workers. Although it is precisely the PF that should bring these skilled workers into the country. But we still have a shortage according to the economy despite large immigration. Quit.
Ein Projekt, das jahrzehntelang nicht das gewünschte Resultat bringt, muss abgebrochen werden. Wir haben die Personenfreizügigkeit schon lange, und wir haben immer noch nicht genug Fachkräfte. Obwohl gerade die PF diese Fachkräfte ja ins Land bringen sollte. Wir haben aber immer noch Mangel gemäss der Wirtschaft trotz grosser Zuwanderung. Kündigen.

Security measures taken by the state
What is your position the following statement: "Someone who is not guilty, has nothing to fear from state security measures."
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Such statements are naive. Once a competence/power has been granted to the state, the state can later use it for other purposes. The state must be restricted. It may only do what is explicitly allowed. The private may do 'everything', unless it is forbidden. The above statement tries to turn this into the opposite and is therefore dangerous.
Solche Aussagen sind naiv. Eine einmal dem Staat zugesprochene Kompetenz/Macht kann der Staat später auch für andere Zwecke verwenden. Der Staat muss eingeschränkt sein. Er darf nur, was explizit erlaubt wird. Der Private darf 'alles', ausser es ist verboten. Die obige Aussage versucht dies ins Gegenteil zu verkehren und ist daher brandgefährlich.

100% correct. All those who see this differently, please answer the following question: How is wealth created? Through redistribution?

Comment
This always leads to a loss of prosperity for all. The Soviet Union (as an extreme example) sends its regards. Venezuela in more recent history. Apart from the fact that such a thing is nothing else than 'legalized theft'!
Solches führt immer zu Wohlstandsverlust für alle. Sowjetunion (als Extrembeispiel) lässt grüssen. Venezuela in neuerer Geschichte. Mal abgesehen davon , dass sowas nichts anderes als 'legalisierter Diebstahl' ist!
Parent stays at home full time
What is your position the following statement: "It is best for a child, when one parent stays home full-time for childcare."
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Comment
At least I don't think it's wrong for one parent to do it full time. But I want parents to be able to decide for themselves. It is also unfortunately the case that this is not possible for everyone.
Ich halte es zumindest nicht für falsch, wenn es ein Elternteil dies Vollzeit übernimmt. Aber ich will, dass Eltern selber entscheiden können. Ebenso ist es leider so, dass dies nicht für alle möglich ist.

Comment
Both would be ideal, but: Crime always goes down when criminals are caught and punished. And it rises again when this is not done.
Beides wäre ideal, aber: Die Kriminalität sinkt immer dann, wenn Kriminelle gefasst und bestraft werden. Und sie steigt wieder, wenn man dies nicht tut.

There may be a lack of money in certain areas and an increase would be appropriate, but more money does not automatically mean better education or better research. And not everything has to come from the federal government.
Eventuell kann punktuell Geld fehlen und eine Erhöhung wäre angebracht, doch mehr Geld heisst nicht automatisch bessere Bildung oder bessere Forschung. Und es muss nicht alles vom Bund kommen.
