Closed petition Hold a referendum on whether to reinstate the death penalty
To let the British public decide whether the Government should bring back the death penalty for serious crimes resulting in serious harm or death to a person.
More details
A large proportion of British people no longer feel safe. Many people also believe our penal system isn't fit for purpose, that sentences are too short for serious crimes and life no longer means life.
Every day we hear of violent & sexual child abuse, child grooming gangs, sexual & violent murders of women and children, stabbings and terrorist attacks. We believe prison sentences are not deterring these crimes and the death penalty should be bought back. The public should be given the right to decide if this happens.
