Should a politician, who has been formerly convicted of a crime, be allowed to run for office?

Seems like a case by case basis here, if someone stole something then fine but if they were violent then no

Yes, as long as the crime was not violent, sexual, or involved the physical or emotional harm to a child

It is dependent on the scenario and should be evaluated on a case by case basis

Yes, as long as Canada also does not deport someone who committed a crime and has finished serving their sentence.

Yes as long as they have under gone psychological evaluation and are not a threat to society.

Yes, if the crime was not committed while in office and have finished serving their sentence

It depends how bad the crime was

That depends on what the crime was. Sexual assault? No. Drug possession during an addiction that they’ve since recovered from? No, and that could place an interesting perspective of lived experience when it comes to social policies.

Yes, as long as it was not corporate crime or crime which would indicate corruption

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

Depends on the crime, the time served AND if they were currently in office.

Depends what they did but normally no

yes, as long as the crime is a misdemeanor.

as long as it wasn’t a violent or sexual crime

yes, as long as the crime doesn't discredit anything that they might do in office.

Depending on the crime itself

yes, as long as it was not a felony or crime such as fraud or money laundering

Depends on the crime, the context of the crime, if they got around punishment for the crime etc.

Yes, if the crime is minim.

It depends on the crime and what was done about it. All politicians have committed crimes.

We’re all human we all make mistakes and if you can’t agree with that then I don’t know what to tell you

Depends on the crime & the severity and if the person is trying to reform for numbers of years
