Rejected petition Re-introduce Capital Punishment

More details

I propose that the re-introduction of the Death Penalty, as a punishment for those that commit the most heinous crimes, is debated.

I believe that the worst crimes, such as premeditated murder, especially of children, should warrant such punishment.

I also believe that our hard earned taxes should be spent on education and healthcare, not clothing, feeding and heating those that commit these crimes.
