Rejected petition Petition to maintain the ban on capital punishment

More details

Multiple petitions to bring back the death penalty have been brought up and rejected. At every turn, more people vote in petitions to maintain the law as it stands. Yet, every tieme, another petition to bring back barbarism is created.

It is clear that the majority of British Citizens support the current law regarding capital punishment. I for one am proud to be a member of a country that supports justice, not revenge.

No to capital punishment.
