Rejected petition Hold a referendum for the return of capital punishment for serious crimes and for repeat offenders and traitors.

More details

It is unfair to burden society with the cost, both financial and collective fear created by serious crime and the actions of professional criminals. If politicians do not have the will or courage to discuss and have an honest discussion which reflects the opinions of the UK’s population, allow the people to express their opinion through a referendum.
