Scottish Socialist Party

Strongly agree

Yes, as long as they have finished serving their sentence

The SSP's principles of social justice and rehabilitation suggest they would support giving individuals a second chance once they have served their sentence, recognizing the capacity for change and redemption, especially if the crime is not directly related to their political duties.

Agree

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

Given the SSP's focus on social justice and anti-corruption, they would likely support measures that ensure politicians are held to high standards of conduct, including disallowing those under investigation for crimes from running for office, to maintain public trust.

Agree

No

The SSP likely supports the idea that politicians should uphold high ethical standards, which could include not having a criminal record. However, their commitment to social justice and rehabilitation might temper a blanket disqualification for all crimes.

Agree

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

The SSP might agree with this stance as it balances the need for integrity in office with the principles of rehabilitation and justice. However, their strong stance against corruption and the importance of public trust might lead to a more cautious approach towards crimes related to financial or sexual misconduct.

Slightly agree

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

While the SSP might agree that crimes committed outside of office are less relevant, they would likely maintain that any criminal behavior could indicate a lack of integrity, potentially undermining public trust in elected officials.

Disagree

Yes

The Scottish Socialist Party (SSP) emphasizes social justice, equality, and a strong stance against corruption. Allowing any politician with a criminal conviction to run for office might conflict with their principles of integrity and public trust in governance, although they might support rehabilitation and second chances.
