Agree

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

Agree

Yes

The Reason Party, being a progressive party, might lean towards allowing individuals with past convictions to run for office, as they believe in rehabilitation and second chances. However, they would likely also consider the nature of the crime and whether it impacts the individual's ability to serve the public.

Slightly disagree

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

While the Reason Party would likely support measures to ensure the integrity of public office, they might see disallowing politicians under investigation as potentially infringing on the principle of 'innocent until proven guilty'.

Disagree

No

The Reason Party would likely disagree with a blanket ban on politicians with past convictions running for office, as this does not take into account the nature of the crime or the individual's rehabilitation. However, they would likely support restrictions based on the severity and relevance of the crime to public office.
