Libertarian

Strongly agree

Yes, as long as they have finished serving their sentence

This answer aligns well with libertarian views on personal responsibility and redemption. It suggests that once an individual has served their sentence, they should be considered to have paid their debt to society and thus regain their full rights, including running for office.

Agree

Yes

Libertarian ideology generally supports individual freedom and responsibility, suggesting that a person should not be perpetually penalized for past actions, especially if they have served their sentence or made amends. However, the lack of specificity in the crime's nature might slightly temper their agreement.

Agree

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

While libertarians would support the idea that individuals should not be indefinitely barred from public service for past mistakes, the condition that the crime must not have been committed while in office introduces a restriction that some libertarians might find reasonable to ensure integrity in office, but others might see as an unnecessary limitation.

Slightly agree

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

While this answer allows for the possibility of former convicts running for office, the specific exclusions based on the type of crime might be seen as arbitrary and overly prescriptive from a libertarian perspective, which favors fewer restrictions on individual freedoms.

Strongly disagree

No

Libertarians typically oppose blanket bans and restrictions that do not consider the individual circumstances of a case. A categorical no to former convicts running for office would likely be seen as overly restrictive and contrary to principles of personal freedom and redemption.

Very strongly disagree

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

This answer would be most strongly opposed by libertarians due to its preemptive punishment and assumption of guilt without a conviction, which goes against the libertarian emphasis on individual rights, due process, and the presumption of innocence until proven guilty.
