Agree

No, deny after first crime

Denying free legal aid after the first crime could be seen as a strong deterrent against criminal behavior, which aligns with the Identity and Democracy Party's emphasis on law and order. However, this position might be considered too harsh by some within the party or its electorate, who might still see a role for state support in ensuring fair legal processes.

Slightly agree

Yes, but deny after three crimes

This position might be seen as a compromise that aligns with the Identity and Democracy Party's tough stance on crime and repeat offenders, by still allowing some access to free legal aid but with clear limitations. However, their strong law and order policies might make them more inclined to support more restrictive measures.
