With the Federal Council set to vote on the country's energy policies this month, the government looks likely to abandon future nuclear power projects. How do you feel about this debate?
Slow down! Japan's crisis is awful but due to Mother Nature. It doesn't mean that nuclear should be abandoned as an option. = 34%
Green power is the way forward: we should be focusing on hydro wind solar etc. = 51%
Nuclear power passes the waste buck onto future generations. Since green energy isn't up to speed gas turbines and purchasing electricity are the way forward. = 7%
I don't care which option is chosen as long as electricity remains affordable. = 8%
April
Do you agree with the international intervention in Libya?
Yes. Gaddafi's regime is shameful. He must be removed from power. = 42%
Yes. But help should have come sooner. = 18%
No. I question the motives behind the intervention. (Securing oil anyone?) = 25%
No. This is an issue for the Libyan people to work out for themselves. = 15%
March
The United States is unique in that it requires its citizens to pay taxes even when they no longer live in the country. What do you think? Should tax obligation be a condition of citizenship?
Darn tootin'. Citizenship is a privilege. We should be willing to support our homeland even if we don't live there. =14%
Are you mad? Why should I pay for services I'm not using? =77%
Why pay tax ... when you can just not pay tax? =9%
February
The annual World Economic Forum in Davos is arguably the world's most powerful get-together, but do they do more than talk? What do you think about the WEF?
It's a useful event, bringing political business economic and social leaders together to devise collective solutions to world problems. = 2%
The Forum has potential ... too bad there aren't that many tangible results. = 16%
Though we don't see many tangible results, it's still worthwhile for so many influential people to sit down together. The world could do with more cooperation and understanding. = 17%
Please. The WEF is a farce: a meeting of back-patters and big talkers. If they solve any problems, I'll eat my hat. = 51%
January
With a group of centre-right activists calling for a 10-year moratorium on negotiations for Switzerland to join the European Union, we want to know how you feel about EU membership. Should Switzerland join?
Absolutely yes. Switzerland cannot continue to grow and prosper as an island among a united Europe. = 11%
Eh ... ask me again when the EU nations have managed to sort our their debt problems. = 22%
Are you kidding me? Switzerland is sovereign and should remain so. We don't need the EU telling us what to do and minding our economic and political business. = 67%
