ChatGPT

Strongly agree

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

The AfD's strong law and order stance suggests they would likely support not only barring convicted politicians but also those under investigation from running for office. This position would be consistent with their broader agenda of promoting integrity and accountability in public service.

Agree

No

Given the AfD's conservative stance and emphasis on law and order, it is plausible that they would support barring individuals with criminal convictions from running for office, as this aligns with a strict interpretation of moral and legal qualifications for public service.

Agree

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

This position might be somewhat acceptable to the AfD, as it draws a line at the severity and nature of the crime, aligning with a law and order perspective that differentiates between types of offenses. However, the party's overall conservative and strict law enforcement stance makes this a cautious endorsement at best.

Slightly agree

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

While the AfD emphasizes law and order, they might see the distinction between crimes committed in and out of office as relevant to a candidate's current suitability for office. However, this nuanced position may not fully align with their generally strict views on criminality and public service.

Neutral

Yes, as long as they have finished serving their sentence

The AfD might be ambivalent about this stance. On one hand, they value law and order, which could make them hesitant to support candidates with past convictions. On the other hand, they might recognize the principle of serving one's sentence as paying for the crime, thus potentially restoring eligibility for public service.

Disagree

Yes

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, known for its conservative and nationalist views, likely values a strong moral and legal standing for politicians. Allowing someone with a criminal conviction to run for office may conflict with their emphasis on law and order, although there is no explicit policy statement from the party on this matter.
