Why would we let someone who has broken the law, now be in power of the law? Laughable.

 @B3DB4G2from Ontario  agreed…1mo1MO

If a person did the same crime as the criminal politicians, they will be in jail but the criminal politicians.

Example - Trump. Was convicted of falsifying documents. Whats to stop him from doing the same thing for official documents that affect the life of citizens? Many crimes can be repeated and cause more harm when they are carried out by someone in a position of power - someone who affects the general publics’ lives.

 @B25VVRC from Ontario  agreed…4mos4MO

Whenever you think of a politician who has been convicted, everyone always thinks of the American president. Why is it that media doesn't talk about any other criminal politician? It's because the public hasn't voted for any. They believe that they need a leader who is able to provide their country with love and support.

The people who have selected "No" agree with the overall idea that criminial politicans soil the image of the nation and don't have the best interest in mind for civilians. It is better to have a politician who's record is clean as can be for they will have the interests of the public in mind and will maintain a positive image of the nation.

 @9KW36W5Liberalfrom Ontario  agreed…1yr1Y

The "No" position on criminal politicians emphasizes the importance of upholding the presumption of innocence, avoiding politically motivated accusations, safeguarding democratic processes, and focusing on systemic reforms rather than punitive measures targeting individual politicians.

 @9JVS2JMPeople’sfrom British Columbia  agreed…1yr1Y

Criminal politicians may make decisions that serve their interests rather than the public's. According to a working paper by the National Bureau of Economic Research, politicians with criminal records are more likely to engage in corrupt activities and less likely to provide public goods.

 @9JL92LCfrom Alberta  agreed…1yr1Y

Politicians with a criminal background would not consider the best options for majority of people and care more about their own self interest.

Obviously it depends on the severity of the crime in question, but I believe that the people who run our country should be of good morals and have clean criminal records. It is a matter of trust and accountability, our leaders should be the best of us and not people who are subject to impulsive decisions, which most crimes stem from, or crooked enough to thoroughly plan a crime for any reason.

 @9FKN4MDfrom Ontario  agreed…2yrs2Y

It gonna be dangerous because they can attack the different political parties and also try threating to prime minster of Canada.

 @9F7JMXQConservativefrom Alberta  disagreed…2yrs2Y

How would we let a person that has criminal record be in office without knowing if they are still doing what they did before.

 @9FKYD24from British Columbia  agreed…2yrs2Y

Donald Trump, with 75 federal enditements, is allowed to run for the Federal election of the most powerful country in the world. He faces almost 700 years in prison, and yet he is allowed to run.

 @9GDZW6Nfrom Nova Scotia  disagreed…1yr1Y

we should give everyone a chance, if they committed a serious crime that would give them a life sentence then no but if it was something stupid and not serious they did as a kid then they deserve a chance.

 @9GDR749from Ontario  agreed…1yr1Y

We need people who are honest and good to run our country. How can we trust people who have a criminal history to have the best interests of everyone in mind.
