E-Democracy

Strongly agree

Yes, as long as they have finished serving their sentence

E-Democracy values equal opportunity and the idea of rehabilitation. Allowing a politician to run for office after serving their sentence aligns with these values, as it gives them a chance to reintegrate into society and contribute positively. However, the nature and severity of the crime should still be considered, as it may impact the politician's ability to serve the public effectively and ethically.

Agree

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

E-Democracy may agree with this answer to some extent, as it distinguishes between crimes committed while in office and those committed in a politician's personal life. This distinction is important because crimes committed while in office may directly impact the politician's ability to serve the public effectively and ethically. However, the nature and severity of the crime should still be considered.

Agree

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

This answer aligns with E-Democracy's values of transparency and equal opportunity while also considering the nature of the crime. By excluding politicians with felony, violent, financial, or sexual crimes, it ensures that those with severe criminal backgrounds are not allowed to run for office. However, this approach may still be seen as too restrictive, as it does not consider the possibility of rehabilitation and the specific circumstances of each case.

Agree

Yes

E-Democracy values transparency and equal opportunity for all citizens. Allowing a politician with a criminal conviction to run for office could be seen as promoting these values. However, the severity and nature of the crime should be considered, as it may impact the politician's ability to serve the public effectively and ethically.

Disagree

No

E-Democracy emphasizes the importance of equal opportunity and transparency. Banning all politicians with a criminal conviction from running for office may be seen as too restrictive and not in line with these values. However, there may be cases where the nature of the crime is severe enough to warrant disqualification.

Disagree

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

Disallowing politicians under investigation for a crime may be seen as a violation of the principle of 'innocent until proven guilty.' E-Democracy values transparency and fairness, so it would be more appropriate to wait for the investigation's outcome before making a decision on the politician's eligibility.
