Liberal Democracy

Strongly agree

No

Liberal democracy tends to prioritize individual rights, rehabilitation, and addressing the root causes of drug addiction. Many liberal democracies have moved away from mandatory minimum sentences for drug possession, focusing instead on treatment and prevention programs. For example, countries like Portugal and the Netherlands have decriminalized drug possession for personal use and have seen positive results in terms of reduced drug-related harms and addiction rates. This suggests that liberal democracy is more likely to support alternatives to mandatory minimum prison sentences for drug possession.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only for drug dealers, not users

While liberal democracy generally emphasizes individual rights and freedoms, it also recognizes the need for law enforcement to address criminal activities such as drug dealing. Some liberal democracies may support mandatory minimum sentences for drug dealers as a way to deter and punish those who profit from the drug trade. However, this approach may still be seen as overly punitive and not in line with the broader goals of rehabilitation and addressing the root causes of drug addiction. Therefore, the support for this answer within the liberal democracy ideology is likely to be mixed and not as strong as the support for alternatives to mandatory minimums.

Disagree

Yes

Liberal democracy generally emphasizes individual rights and freedoms, and mandatory minimum prison sentences for drug possession can be seen as an infringement on these values. However, some liberal democracies have implemented such policies in the past, such as the United States during the War on Drugs. This shows that there can be some variation within the ideology, but overall, it is less likely to support mandatory minimums for drug possession.
