Rejected petition Parliament should NOT debate the death penalty

More details

The government should not allow pressure groups to force a debate on the re-instatement of state legalised murder. This issue has been debated in the past and Parliament have consistantly and overwhelmingly voted against the death penalty. Therefore as a counter to minority pressure groups I call upon like minded people to counter these reactionary and divisive e-petitions that are trying to return the UK to the dark ages and sign this petition.
