Rejected petition To urge the UK Government to have a referendum on the implementaion of the Death Penalty

More details

In light of the horrific events in Manchester where two police officers have been killed the time has now come to again urge the government to hold a referendum on whether to bring back the death penalty in the UK.

This would include looking at changing the signed agreement with the EU that states we would never reinstate the penalty.

It is in the public interest to hold a referendum as this issue, in light of recent events, needs addressing.
