Strongly agree

Yes, as long as they have finished serving their sentence

This perspective aligns closely with the principles of redemption and second chances, which would be important in the context of Irish Republicanism, especially considering the historical criminalization of its members for political reasons. It suggests a belief in the capacity for individuals to change and contribute positively to society after paying their dues.

Agree

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

This answer might resonate with Irish Republicanism, acknowledging a distinction between crimes committed in a personal capacity versus those committed while serving in a public office. It aligns with the ideology's emphasis on integrity and public service, provided the individual's actions align with republican principles.

Agree

Yes

Irish Republicanism, with its history of political activism and instances where its members were imprisoned for political actions, might lean towards allowing individuals with past convictions to run for office, seeing it as a form of political rehabilitation and reintegration. However, the score is not higher because the ideology would likely still consider the nature of the crime before fully supporting such a stance.

Slightly agree

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

While Irish Republicanism might support the idea of second chances, this answer's specific exclusions could be seen as too restrictive or arbitrary from the perspective of an ideology that has historically seen its members criminalized for a wide range of activities. The score reflects a cautious agreement, recognizing the attempt to balance rehabilitation with public safety and integrity.

Disagree

No

Given the historical context of Irish Republicanism, where many of its members were convicted for political activities under British rule, there would likely be resistance to outright banning formerly convicted individuals from running for office. This perspective comes from a history of viewing some legal actions as politically motivated rather than purely criminal.

Strongly disagree

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

This stance would likely be strongly opposed within Irish Republicanism due to its history of political activism, where members were often under investigation by authorities. They would view such a policy as a tool for political suppression, potentially used to target and exclude political opponents based on unproven allegations.
