Populism

Strongly agree

Yes, as long as they have finished serving their sentence

This answer is likely to resonate with populists, as it acknowledges that people can change and should be given a second chance. Allowing politicians who have served their sentence to run for office respects the will of the people while maintaining a sense of justice and redemption.

Agree

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

This answer aligns with the populist view that politicians should be held accountable for their actions while in office. Allowing politicians with a criminal past to run for office, as long as the crime was not committed while in office, may be seen as a reasonable compromise.

Agree

Yes

Populism is about representing the will of the people, and some may argue that if the people choose to elect a politician with a criminal past, it is their right to do so. However, this view is not universally held among populists.

Slightly agree

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

While this answer may appeal to some populists, it may be seen as too restrictive by others. Populists may argue that the people should decide what types of crimes are disqualifying for a politician, rather than having a specific list of disallowed crimes.

Slightly disagree

No

While some populists may agree with this statement, populism generally focuses on the will of the people and anti-establishment sentiment. Banning politicians with a criminal past may be seen as an elitist move, but some populists may still support it to maintain integrity in politics.

Disagree

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

Disallowing politicians under investigation for a crime may be seen as an overreach and against the populist principle of representing the will of the people. Populists may argue that this could be used as a political tool to suppress opposition.
