Rejected petition Reinstate Capital Punishment, for crimes against children
Hold a Referendum on bringing back the death penalty for crimes against children, as there would be a huge majority of the population in favour.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We understand you want a referendum to be held on the question of whether to re-introduce the death penalty, however it's not clear what 'crimes against children' you want this to apply to.
We already have a petition open calling for a very similar action, which you might like to sign:
'Hold a referendum on whether to reinstate the death penalty': https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/602435
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
