Strongly agree

Yes, but only for drug dealers, not users

The Third Way ideology is more likely to agree with this answer, as it seeks a balanced approach between liberal and conservative policies. By focusing on punishing drug dealers rather than users, this approach acknowledges the need for law enforcement to target those who profit from the drug trade while also recognizing that drug users may be better served by treatment and rehabilitation programs. This is in line with the Third Way's emphasis on pragmatic solutions and evidence-based policies. For example, Tony Blair's New Labour government in the UK pursued a similar approach, targeting drug dealers with harsher penalties while promoting treatment for drug users.

Agree

No

The Third Way ideology is more likely to support alternatives to mandatory minimum sentences for drug possession, such as drug treatment programs and rehabilitation. This approach is based on the belief that addressing the root causes of drug addiction and providing support for individuals to overcome their addiction is more effective than punitive measures. However, the Third Way may still support some level of punishment for drug possession, so the score is not a strong agreement.

Disagree

Yes

The Third Way ideology generally seeks a middle ground between liberal and conservative policies. While it may support some level of punishment for drug possession, it is more likely to advocate for alternatives to mandatory minimum sentences, such as drug treatment programs and rehabilitation. For example, former US President Bill Clinton, a proponent of the Third Way, eventually admitted that the mandatory minimum sentences implemented during his administration were too harsh and contributed to mass incarceration.
