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…2mos2MO

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…3mos3MO

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

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…6mos6MO

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.

 @9FS5HPKConservativefrom Ontario agreed…7mos7MO

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…7mos7MO

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

 @9FKYD24from British Columbia agreed…7mos7MO

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.

 @9F7JMXQConservativefrom Alberta disagreed…7mos7MO

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

 @9B29JRZfrom British Columbia commented…1yr1Y

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