Agree

Yes, as long as they have finished serving their sentence

Slightly agree

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

While the European Democratic Party likely values the principles of redemption and second chances, the distinction of whether a crime was committed while in office might not be sufficient to align with their broader goals of political integrity and accountability. However, they might see some merit in distinguishing the context in which the crime was committed.

Neutral

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

The European Democratic Party might have mixed feelings about this approach. On one hand, it acknowledges the severity of certain crimes and their impact on public trust in political figures. On the other hand, it introduces a nuanced view on eligibility that might complicate the legal and moral standards for public office, which could be seen as both pragmatic and potentially problematic.

Strongly disagree

Yes

The European Democratic Party, being centrist and pro-European, likely emphasizes the integrity and accountability of politicians. Allowing a politician with a criminal conviction to run for office could undermine public trust in political institutions, which is contrary to the values of transparency and responsibility the party likely upholds.
