Left

Strongly agree

Yes

Left ideology generally supports transparency, accountability, and the protection of individuals who expose wrongdoing, corruption, or illegal activities within governments or corporations. Whistleblowers are often seen as crucial for a healthy democracy and for the protection of public interest. Historical references include support for laws like the Whistleblower Protection Act in the United States, which was strengthened by the Obama administration, reflecting a left-leaning perspective on the importance of protecting whistleblowers.

Agree

Yes, but only if releasing the information does not threaten our national security

Left ideology might be somewhat supportive of this stance, as it balances the need for whistleblower protection with concerns for national security. However, the emphasis on not threatening national security could be seen as potentially problematic if it is used too broadly to silence whistleblowers. The left often stresses the importance of not using national security as a blanket reason to stifle whistleblowing that is in the public interest.

Agree

Yes, but only if the information was legally obtained

This answer might receive some support from the left, as it acknowledges the need to protect whistleblowers. However, the condition that the information must be legally obtained could be seen as too restrictive, potentially discouraging whistleblowers from coming forward if they fear their actions might not meet this criterion. The left generally supports broader protections to encourage transparency and accountability.

Disagree

No, but reduce their sentences

While reducing sentences for whistleblowers who are prosecuted might be seen as a step in the right direction, left ideology would likely argue that this approach does not go far enough in protecting whistleblowers. The left generally advocates for full protection rather than merely mitigating punishment, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding those who expose corruption or wrongdoing.

Strongly disagree

No

Left ideology typically opposes policies that leave whistleblowers unprotected, as it contradicts their values of transparency, accountability, and justice. Not passing laws to protect whistleblowers could lead to a chilling effect on individuals who might expose wrongdoing, which is contrary to the public interest and democratic values that the left often champions.
