Comment
Der indirekte Gegenvorschlag ist gut, aber Prämienverbilligung ohne wirklich das System in den Griff zu bekommen macht keinen Sinn. Das System muss geändert werden. Zu viele Lobbisten, die dies verhindern. Deshalb eher nein.

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Eher ja wäre möglich, aber derzeit sollte man zuerst Erfahrungen sammeln über das erst kürzlich neue System mit zwei Wochen Vaterschaftsurlaub. Aber zwingend nicht zu Lasten der Unternehmen. Sonst klar eher nein

Aufgaben, Verantwortung und Kompetenzen sollen am gleichen Ort sein. Der Bund kann dies machen für Spezialangebote wie Herzzentren etc, aber er muss sich dann auch Beteiligen

Bildungsgutscheine muss das Ziel sein. Es kann und darf nicht sein, dass man die möglicherweise zentralste Branche für den Erfolg eines Landes kantonalisiert und nicht als Exportschlager nimmt. Dafür braucht es mehr Wettbewerb

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Auf Bundesebene soll 10 Jahre bleiben, aber nicht mehr an gleichen Wohnort der Gemeinde gelten sondern Schweiz Auf kantonaler Ebene soll Wohnort innerhalb des Kantones genügen. Es kann nicht sein, dass jemand beispielsweise von Bottighofen nach Tägerwilen zieht und wieder bei Null beginnen muss. Die Kantone sollen den Gemeinden i.S. der Subsidiarität es überlassen, wie sie kommunale Angelegenheiten regeln. Dazu habe ich im Kantonsrat einen Vorstoss lanciert mit Unterstützern aus anderen Parteien

Neurobiologisch erst dann, wenn das Hirn des jungen Menschen so weit ist. Das ist noch nicht mit 18 Jahren der Fall, deshalb nur eher ja, sonst ganz ja. Ab ca 25 ist dies der Fall und nichts spricht dagegen

aber wie überall gilt es Toleranz zu haben, da der individuelle Wunsch mit der Gewohnheit der Mehrheit Verständnis auf beiden Seiten braucht. Deshalb kann dies nur über die Zeit gut gelingen

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
eine 50/50 Verteilung zwischen Bund und Kantonen wäre wohl besser gewesen, aber Steuerwettbewerb ist nur schon deshalb gut, da es eine gewisse Wettbewerbssituation gibt, welche letztlich auf lange Frist besser ist wie staatliche Regulierung

Die Unternehmen erfassen bereits die Löhne und müssen innerhalb der Toleranzgrenze von 3% Abweichungen sein. Kein Unternehmen hat wirklich einen Anreiz unterschiedliche Löhne zu haben. Strengere Kontrollen wie alle drei Jahre abzugleichen ergibt wenig Mehrwert

Kein Technologieverbot. Es soll geforscht werden und auch die Kernfusion verfolgt werden. Aber ein AKW jetzt zu fordern ist purer Populismus. Es ist enorm teuer, aber die derzeitige Technologie macht für die Schweiz noch keinen Sinn, sondern der Ausbau der Erneuerbaren. Das würde gefährdet werden, wenn derzeitige Technologie bevorzugt wird. Aber KEIN TECHNOLOGIEVERBOT. KERNENERGIE KANN noch viel beitragen, aber die Probleme gilt es zu lösen. Pragmatisches Vorgehen macht Sinn. Forschen first

Comment
Es kommt auf die Ausgestaltung an (Grüner Strom vs. Dreckstrom, Gewährleistung der Sozialverträglichkeit etc.), Lenkung über Anreize aber gut. Aber die Stromintensiven Branchen dürfen nicht darunter leiden. Branchenspezifische Lösungen wären fast zwingend und administrativer Aufwand muss zuerst abgeschätzt werden, da ansonsten unsinnig und teuer ohne wirklichen Mehrwert

Als wirtschaftlich wichtigster Partner wie auch als Europäer macht eine enge Abstimmung Sinn. Das heisst jedoch nicht EU Beitritt. Im Gegenteil. EWR wäre aber zu prüfen

Zu vage Frage. Selbstverständlich sind alle daran zu halten, aber es kann nicht sein, dass der Swiss Standard auch für Tochterfirmen in anderen Ländern gelten soll. Die Unternehmen sollen aber möglichst Swiss Standard anwenden sollen.

eine Anpassung und Flexibilisierung des Rentenalters unter Berücksichtigung der branchenspezifischen Verhältnisse ist zwingend nötig. Gleichzeitig muss es nicht zwingend 67 sein, sondern flexibel gehandhabt werden, aber zwingend erhöht und an das Lebensalter damit angepasst werden. Deshalb eher ja
