| 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
Les assurances maladies sont un impôt comme les autres. Les plus précaires doivent donc être soutenus.
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
Les rentes doivent être versées individuellement à chaque personne cotisante.
Reduce LPP pensions

L'idéal serait de supprimer le deuxième pilier, vecteur d'inégalités, au profit d'une AVS forte et populaire.

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|

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
La vaccination est l'outils qui a permis d'éradiquer de nombreuses maladies infantiles ces deux dernières décennies. Toutefois, sa gestion et sa création doivent être du ressort de la collectivité et non des grands groupes pharmaceutiques obnubilés par le profit et la compétition.
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
Les taxes sont des outils principalement anti-sociaux lorsqu'ils touchent la classes travailleuses. Toutefois, le sucre est une question de santé publique et la taxe fonctionne comme une incitation auprès des producteur-trices et des consommateur-trices afin d'en réduire son utilisation.
Contribution to healthcare costs

|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Absolument pas. Une pandémie est un fait exceptionnel qui doit être géré rapidement et de manière coordonnée. Toutefois, on peut imaginer d'avantage de ressources et de pouvoir au Parlement afin d'avoir aussi son mot à dire. Mais les ressources sont limitées dans un système de milice...
Federal competence for national hospital planning

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|

Il faudrait déjà que cela se développe au niveau cantonal.

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
Ces enfants font partie intégrante de la société. Les séparer des autres à une période cruciale pour leur développement et leur construction revient à les mettre en marge de la société pour toute leur vie. Et il est faux de dire qu'ils empêchent les élèves sans difficultés de progresser... au contraire, ceux-ci apprennent que nous n'avons pas toutes et tous les mêmes capacités, ressources et chances, ce qui les engage au respect. Une réalité dans le monde du travail et durant toute leur vie.

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Au contraire, nous devons développer des impôts d'avantage progressifs qui font payer les riches et surtout les ultra-riches. Les inégalités se creusent comme jamais auparavant. La situation est pire que dans les années 1920 et nous trouvons cela normal à l'heure du plus grand défi pour l'humanité : la crise climatique ?!

Should married couples be taxed separately (individual taxation)? [BePart question]
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |

Would you support the introduction of a national inheritance tax on all inheritances over one million Swiss francs? [BePart question]

Should the differences between cantons with high and low financial capacity be further reduced through fiscal equalization?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|

Should private households be free to choose their electricity supplier (complete liberalization of the electricity market)?

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 |

Direct payments for farms
Should direct payments only be granted to farmers with proof of ecological performance?
| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Non, ce serait punir les agriculteur-trices qui n'ont pas les moyens/possibilités de développer une exploitation écologique. Par contre, tout doit être fait pour soutenir un maximum de transitions écologiques, sans que cela n'impacte négativement les agriculteur-trices.

| No | Rather no | Rather yes | Yes |
|---|---|---|---|
Comment
Travailler chacun-e dans son coin, individuellement, sur des sujets autant importants, structurels et mondialisés n'a aucun sens. Le monde avance très vite, nos cantons ne peuvent se laisser dépasser à cause d'une volonté d'autonomie inadéquate.

|---|---|---|---|
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
La volonté réelle derrière ce genre d'initiative est simple et elle ne souhaite pas protéger le pouvoir d'achat des ménages. Des grands groupes, en Suisse comme ailleurs en Europe, souhaitent s'accaparer toujours plus de médias et d'influence médiatique. Ces mêmes groupes qui majoritairement sont dirigés par des personnes très riches, avec une vision ultra-libérale et parfois très proche des idées d'extrême droite, veulent en réalité défendre leurs uniques intérêts.
Lowering the voting age to 16
Are you in favour of lowering the voting age to 16?

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
La petite Suisse isolée de tous et indépendante n'est rien d'autre qu'une illusion dépassée. Nous travaillons, échangeons, voyageons avec toute l'Union européenne, il est donc évident que nous devons soigner nos relations. Nous ne pouvons pas garder les bons côtés de l'indépendance et rejeter les "mauvais" qui ne nous plaisent pas.
Seek a comprehensive free trade agreement with the United States

Should Switzerland terminate the Bilateral Agreements with the EU and seek a free trade agreement without the free movement of persons?

Comment
Une utopie irréalisable et non souhaitable. Le libre-échange européen fonctionne en partie grâce à la main d'œuvre trans-nationale. Notre pays tourne avec et grâce aux étranger-ères. Et si nous voulons dépasser le libre-échange européen, ce qui est souhaitable pour résoudre les crises climatique et sociale qui traversent l'Europe, nous avons besoin de toutes les compétences disponibles sur notre continent, les cloisonnements ne nous aiderons pas!

Une économie de libre marché, soit le Capitalisme, est basée sur l'exploitation des ressources et des travailleur-euses.
