It also means that your opponent can’t stop you from running by prosecuting you like it happens in countries like Russia.

  Yeah. I think an example also is the UK- It’s quite controversial, but Bobby Sands MP was elected from prison. Many people do see that as a good thing and a good exercise of democracy.
