Libertarianism

Strongly agree

Yes

Libertarianism generally supports individual freedom and minimal government intervention. Allowing a politician with a criminal conviction to run for office aligns with this principle, as it gives the individual the opportunity to participate in the political process and allows voters to decide if they want to elect them. However, the score is not a full 5 because some libertarians may still have concerns about the nature of the crime and its potential impact on the politician's ability to govern.

Yes, as long as they have finished serving their sentence

Agree

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

Libertarianism supports individual freedom and minimal government intervention. Allowing a politician with a criminal conviction to run for office as long as the crime was not committed while in office aligns with this principle to some extent, as it gives the individual the opportunity to participate in the political process. However, this answer still implies some level of government intervention and restriction, which may not be fully supported by all libertarians.

Agree

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

While this answer allows for some individual freedom and participation in the political process, it still implies a level of government intervention and restriction on who can run for office based on the type of crime committed. This may not be fully supported by all libertarians, who generally advocate for minimal government intervention and individual freedom. However, some libertarians may find this approach reasonable due to concerns about the nature of certain crimes and their potential impact on a politician's ability to govern.

Strongly disagree

No

Libertarianism generally opposes restrictions on individual freedom, including the ability to run for office. Banning politicians with criminal convictions from running for office would be seen as an unnecessary government intervention and a limitation on individual rights. However, the score is not a full -5 because some libertarians may still have concerns about the nature of the crime and its potential impact on the politician's ability to govern.

Very strongly disagree

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

Libertarianism strongly opposes government intervention and restrictions on individual freedom. Disallowing politicians who are under investigation for a crime would be seen as a violation of the principle of 'innocent until proven guilty' and an overreach of government power. Libertarians would likely argue that voters should be able to decide whether or not to elect a politician under investigation.
