Humanism

Strongly agree

Yes, as long as they have finished serving their sentence

Allowing politicians to run for office after serving their sentence aligns with humanist values of rehabilitation and redemption. This answer recognizes that people can change and should not be permanently punished for past mistakes. It also respects the legal system's determination that the individual has paid their debt to society.

Agree

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

This answer aligns with humanist values of rehabilitation and redemption, as it allows politicians with a criminal record to run for office if the crime was not committed while in office. This distinction may be important to humanists because it suggests that the politician has not abused their power or position in the past.

Agree

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

This answer aligns with humanist values by allowing politicians with a criminal record to run for office, as long as the crime was not of a particularly severe nature. This approach recognizes the potential for rehabilitation and personal growth while also considering the nature of the crime and its potential impact on the politician's ability to serve.

Agree

Yes

Humanism emphasizes the value and agency of human beings and generally supports rehabilitation and redemption. Allowing a formerly convicted politician to run for office aligns with this belief in the potential for change. However, the score is not higher because the nature of the crime and the circumstances around it may still be relevant to the politician's ability to serve.

Disagree

No

Humanism values the potential for rehabilitation and personal growth, so a blanket ban on politicians with a criminal record would not align with this ideology. However, the score is not lower because some humanists may argue that certain crimes could disqualify a person from holding public office due to concerns about their character or ability to serve.

Strongly disagree

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

Disallowing politicians under investigation for a crime goes against the humanist principle of 'innocent until proven guilty.' Humanism emphasizes fairness and due process, so this answer would not be supported by most humanists.
