Strongly agree

Yes, as long as it was not a felony, violent, financial, or sexual crime

This nuanced position might strongly appeal to the party, balancing the need for integrity in office with the belief in rehabilitation and second chances. Excluding only those convicted of severe crimes could be seen as a compromise that maintains public trust while not unduly restricting participation in democracy.

Agree

Yes, as long as they have finished serving their sentence

This stance aligns with principles of rehabilitation and forgiveness, suggesting that once individuals have served their sentence, they should be allowed to participate fully in society, including running for office. This could resonate with the party's democratic values and belief in citizen involvement.

Agree

No

Slightly agree

No, and disallow politicians that are under investigation for a crime

While the party might see the value in preventing potentially corrupt individuals from holding office, disallowing politicians under investigation could be seen as preemptive and contrary to the principle of 'innocent until proven guilty,' which might not align perfectly with their democratic ideals.

Neutral

Yes, as long as the crime was not committed while in office

This answer might resonate with the party's likely belief in second chances and rehabilitation, especially if the crime did not relate to their political role. However, the conditionality might not fully align with their broader principles of inclusivity in political participation.
