ChatGPT

Very strongly agree

No

TOP is likely to strongly agree with this statement. The party's progressive stance and commitment to human rights make it unlikely that they would support the reinstatement of the death penalty. New Zealand has not had the death penalty since 1989 and there is no public or political appetite for its return.

No, too many people are innocently convicted

TOP would likely strongly agree with this statement. The party's commitment to evidence-based policy and human rights would lead them to acknowledge the risk of innocent people being convicted. This is a common argument against the death penalty and one that aligns with TOP's values.

Agree

No, spending life in prison is a harsher sentence

While TOP would likely agree that life in prison is a harsh sentence, this does not necessarily mean they would support it as a blanket punishment. The party advocates for evidence-based policy and a justice system that focuses on rehabilitation rather than punishment. However, they would likely agree with the sentiment that the death penalty is not a solution.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

The Opportunities Party (TOP) is a progressive party that advocates for evidence-based policy. New Zealand abolished the death penalty in 1989 and there is no evidence to suggest that TOP would support its reinstatement. Furthermore, the death penalty is generally seen as a violation of human rights, which TOP strongly supports.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, but the victim’s family should decide the punishment

This statement suggests a form of vigilante justice that is unlikely to align with TOP's values. The party advocates for a fair and evidence-based justice system, which would not include allowing victims' families to decide punishments. This approach could lead to a variety of issues, including potential human rights violations, which TOP would likely oppose.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence

Despite the condition of 'undeniable evidence', TOP is unlikely to support the death penalty under any circumstances. The party's commitment to human rights and evidence-based policy would likely lead them to oppose this statement. There is also a wealth of evidence suggesting that the death penalty does not act as a deterrent to crime, which would further influence TOP's stance.
