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 too high for various low-income families to afford, even with the premium reduction.
Die Krankenkassenbeiträge sind zu hoch für diverse einkommensschwache Familien, um diese auch mit der Prämienverbilligung zu stämmen.
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
Abolish or introduce more equitably for persons living together but not married.
Abschaffen oder gerechterweise bei zusammenlebenden aber nicht verheirateten Personen einführen.
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
AHV is to be expanded and pension funds curbed. The money of the pension funds must be saved, which floods the market with money and over time with inflation the money loses value. The pay-as-you-go system of the AHV makes much more sense, because the money for retirement is consumed right now and does not have to be saved first.
AHV soll ausgebaut und Pensionskasse eingedämmt werden. Das Geld der Pensionskassen muss gespart werden, was den Markt mit Geld flutet und über die Zeit mit der Inflation das Geld an Wert verliert. Das Umlageverfahren der AHV macht viel mehr Sinn, da das Geld für die Altersvorsorge gleich heute verbraucht wird und nicht erst gespart werden muss.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |

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
However, I see sensitization as a better way than compulsory vaccination.
Sensibilisierung sehe ich aber als besseren Weg, als eine Impflicht.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
The solidarity-based system should remain as solidary as possible. An increase in the minimum deductible affects a low-income household much more in percentage terms than a household with a higher income.
Das solidarische System soll so solidarisch wie möglich bleiben. Eine Erhöhung der Mindestfranchise betrifft einen einkommensschwachen Haushalt prozentual viel stärker als ein Haushalt mit höherem Einkommen.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
For minor concerns where specialties are not needed, patients should be able to stay in the region.
Bei kleinen Anliegen, bei welchen es keine Spezialisierungen benötigt werden, sollten Patienten in der Region bleiben können.
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
However, it is imperative that teachers get the support they need, otherwise all children in the class will miss out.
Lehrpersonen müssen aber zwingend die nötige Unterstützung bekommen, sonst kommen alle Kinder der Klasse zu kurz.
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
In my opinion, vocational training is in most cases more effective for young people to find out what they really want to do. But if young people know that they want to study, which requires a high school diploma anyway, then nothing should stand in their way. Otherwise, there is no equality of opportunity, because low-income households cannot afford tuition to the same extent as rich households.
Berufslehre ist meiner Meinung nach in den meisten Fällen zielführender für die Jugendlichen, um herauszufinden, was sie wirklich Arbeiten wollen. Wenn aber Jugendliche wissen, dass Sie ein Studium machen wollen, welches sowieso eine gymnasiale Matura erfordert, dann sollte ihnen aber auch nichts im Weg stehen. Sonst herrscht keine Chancengleichheit, weil sich einkommensschwache Haushalte keine Nachhilfe in dem Umfang leisten können wie reiche Haushalte.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
Above all, the naturalization procedures urgently need to be professionalized and perhaps better taken over by the canton in order to avoid subjectivity in the procedures.
Vor allem müssen die Einbürgerungsverfahren dringend professionalisiert und vielleicht besser vom Kanton übernommen werden, um Subjektivität in den Verfahren zu vermeiden.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
It certainly does not make sense to transport these people, if they are already here, out of the Schengen area again for the asylum procedure. Instead, asylum seekers should be integrated into civilian service during the procedure, where they can learn the language and earn something, and also add value to society.
Es macht sicher nicht Sinn, diese Personen, wenn diese bereits hier sind, wieder aus dem Schengenraum zu transportieren für das Asylverfahren. Stattdessen sollten Asylsuchende während dem Verfahren in den Zivildienst integriert werden, wo sie die Sprache lernen und etwas verdienen können und zudem noch einen Mehrwert für die Gesellschaft leisten.
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?

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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
With what aim and what is being cut? The economy is doing well, which is why the state should reduce debt and prepare for worse times, so that it can then invest and promote the economy.
Mit welchem Ziel und was wird gestrichen? Es geht der Wirtschaft gut, weswegen der Staat Schulden abbauen und sich für schlechtere Zeiten rüsten soll, um dann investieren und die Wirtschaft fördern zu können.
Tax married couples individually

Comment
Abolish marriage penalty

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
Capital and especially capital income are not taxed enough. In principle, I would be more in favor of higher capital taxation, but inheritance tax is also conducive to equality of opportunity within the population. However, there is an urgent need for hardship cases for family businesses and farms in the inheritance tax, which is why this formulation above "all" is unfortunate.
Kapital und vor allem Kapitaleinnahmen werden zu wenig stark besteuert. Ich würde grundsätzlich eine höhere Kapitalbesteuerung stärker befürworten aber auch eine Erbschaftsteuer ist förderlich für die Chancengerechtigkeit innerhalb der Bevölkerung. Es braucht aber bei der Erbschaftssteuer dringend Härtefälle für Familienbetriebe und Bauernhöfe, weswegen diese Formulierung oben "alle" unglücklich gewählt ist.

|---|---|---|---|
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
Makes no sense, since electricity should be generated and consumed as locally as possible.
Macht keinen Sinn, da der Strom möglichst lokal erzeugt und verbraucht werden soll.
Make housing construction regulations more flexible
Should housing construction regulations be relaxed (e.g., noise protection, occupancy rates)?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

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
Except when the combustion engines are powered by renewable fuels (hydrogen, biodiesel, synfuels). Therefore only a "rather yes".
Ausser wenn die Verbrennungsmotoren mit erneuerbaren Treibstoffen (Wasserstoff, Biodiesel, Synfuels) betrieben werden. Daher nur ein "eher ja".
Achieve climate targets through incentives
To achieve climate targets, should incentives and target agreements be relied on exclusively, rather than bans and restrictions?

Introduce progressive electricity tariffs

Comment
The retirement age for women has just been raised to 65. I am rather in favor of first establishing wage equality between men and women or increasing the wage percentages in order to reorganize the AHV.
Das Rentenalter der Frau wurde gerade erst auf 65 Jahre erhöht. Bin eher dafür, dass zuerst die Lohngleichheit zwischen Männer und Frauen hergestellt wird oder die Lohnprozente erhöht werden, um die AHV zu sanieren.
