Rejected petition Public Referendum on Death Penalty

More details

Everyone in our society should be given a right to vote on whether the reintroduction of the death penalty is a just and required penalty for murderers.

There have been many high profile heinous crimes in recent weeks and months. If the proof is incontestable that a subject has committed a crime then should the death penalty be applied?

We call on the government to debate a public referendum on the reintroduction of the death penalty at the earliest possible opportunity.
