More diversity in public institutions, separation of church and state or climate protection as a school subject. Readers of the sternwhat they would change in Germany. You can take part too!
Solving the problem of the aging society
“I would tackle the subject of ‘aging society’: Without considerably stronger incentives to increase the birth rate or without targeted immigration of unskilled and subsequently trained workers, we have no chance of surviving as a society as we know it. The result would be the collapse of our social systems and the emigration of our industry due to a lack of labor. “
Karl Grupp, Neustadt an der Weinstrasse
Get more digital
“Basic digital systems must be part of the basic supply and must not be left exclusively in the hands of the tech monopoly. A digitization of schools fails not only because of the bureaucracy, but often also because of the excessive complexity of the systems. Digital competence and participation are now so important like electricity, water, traffic routes … just infrastructure! “
Stephan Meyer, Augsburg
Produce less meat
“If I were to rule, EU agricultural subsidies would have to be partially repaid if subsidized products were exported from the EU. Then less meat would be produced – and EU meat waste could no longer ruin agriculture in Africa.”
Judith Keinath
Separate church and state
“I would better separate church and state. The state should not collect church taxes.”
Eckhard Raetz, Bisingen
Expand photovoltaics
“I would primarily provide public funds for the construction of the most modern photovoltaic systems on the roofs of all residential and commercial buildings: Germany has 19.3 million residential buildings (shops and industrial facilities are also added). If each system would only generate 5 KWh / per day, one would get 35.2 billion kWh of solar power per year. Fed into the general grid, all carbon dioxide-emitting power plants could be switched off and industry could also be supplied with alternative energy! “
Inge Glebe, Philippsthal
Simplify the tax system
“Dissolution of the two-class society in health insurance (health insurance fund / private) and dissolution of the two-class society in pension provision (employees / civil servants). I would like to see a clear simplification of the taxation system: Every realized increase in wealth becomes taxable Broadening the base enables tax rates to be reduced and: No more consulting contracts for lobbyists! “
Siegfried Eder, Regensburg
Speed limit!
“It is high time that the speed limit of 130 km / h was introduced on German autobahns. And not only because of the climate, but above all because of the unbridled frenzy that is unique in Europe.”
Ludwig Feil, Waging am See
Climate protection as a school subject
“Climate protection should become a new school subject – with less theory and a lot of practice.”
Monika Harnisch, Neuss
Courageous Politics!
“I would like more courageous politicians who initiate urgently needed projects, even if they are uncomfortable. In other words, people who don’t always look to be re-elected in the next elections.”
Juliane Fischer
Management instead of letters of intent
“If I were to govern, then I would make a binding order in the entire government team that concrete management should be carried out from now on. Everyone would be aware that management is not possible without concrete goals. The time for declarations of intent would be over. Clear, measurable and controllable Goals would be part of everyday government work. Goals that the population can understand. And it would be clear to all those involved that the delegation of tasks does not end the duty of control and thus the overall responsibility. “
Hans-Joachim Gläsener, Kassel
Reform federalism
“The overflowing power of the individual federal states became extremely clear in the fight against the corona pandemic. Despite joint decisions – regardless of whether it was sensible or not – each Prime Minister introduced these rules absurdly one day later and issued his own rules. See also education policy: Es It is absolutely scandalous that every culture minister of a federal state determined by party politics can determine whether the students have to learn science or to dance by their own name to enable a start in professional life. “
Thomas Flach
Dare to be more diverse
“In our heads standardized images of the normal are anchored. It is difficult for those who deviate from them. I think of how we talked in biology class about ideals of beauty and the image of society as the ideal of beauty. Everyone knows: ideals of beauty are superfluous. And yet So many people orientate themselves on it. Anyone who deviates is ridiculed. Similar to sexuality: Heterosexuality is considered the standard, anything but ‘special’. Why actually? My wish: I would like the people who rule us , are the same as those who are also allowed to live here. I would like a diverse government. I would like the school to talk more about diversity and change. So that things start to change. “
Johanna Hamann, 15, Darmstadt
Strengthen education, fight poverty in old age
“I would invest massively in education. Without money, there would be no education, without education, no research, without research. I would also reform our old-age provision. Why does this work in our neighboring countries? Old-age poverty is a disgrace for rich Germany.”
Hermann Mezger, Prüm
Ensure cyber security
“Our IT infrastructure must be available around the clock, and it must be secure and invulnerable. The state provides programs for basic security free of charge to everyone.”
Werner Gugetzer
Training media skills
“I consider the lack of media literacy as a teaching unit in German schools to be an absolute failure. What is valid information – and what is targeted disinformation? If I were to rule, a large-scale educational offensive on the subject of media literacy would be my heart’s concern. This is the only way to raise awareness of create the problem of disinformation and the risk of manipulation. “
Svenja Dirks, Hallwang, Austria
Transport to the rail
“Expansion of the railway. Increase the number of connections, more direct connections. In return, all domestic German flights are canceled.”
Klaus Nohl
Free drugs
“I would purify the building law and reduce the possibility of appeal. I would also fight drug crime – by releasing all drugs.”
Hans Bartholomä
The end of the plastic waste
“My vision for 2050: Elections take place annually and 100 percent digitally. Every German citizen can vote so that the votes of families and young people are given more weight. Ministers remain in office beyond one electoral term, which ensures continuity. For the first time This creates goal-oriented, cross-party cooperation. With this change it is possible to push back party and power politics. Meanwhile, environmental policy relies entirely on renewable energies. And plastic waste is no longer picked up by the disposal companies. Regional products are booming because plastic packaging is here because of the short distances have been avoided for a long time. “
Stefan Rensberg, Adelsried/Kruichen
Abolish GEZ
“I would abolish the GEZ. Anyone who wants to watch ARD or ZDF should take out a subscription. Done!”
A reader from Duisburg
Take responsibility for mistakes
“I would like politicians to take clear responsibility for mistakes. I ask myself: How can a responsible former First Mayor answer for Wirecard, Warburg Bank and G20 summit with riots and now appear as a candidate for Chancellor? Another example: One debacle after another – and yet the Minister of Transport remains in office. “
Hans-Peter Trimborn
