Hold a Referendum on the Death Penalty for Convicted Paedophiles
We call on the Government to give the UK population the opportunity to vote on whether or not paedophiles should be sentenced to death after being convicted of any crime related to paedophilia.
If the result favours the death penalty, Parliament should also discuss if it should be retroactive.
Threats to children should be dealt with more severely, and protection for children in every aspect of life should be a priority in our country.
Taxpayers should not be funding the cost of keeping paedophiles alive and protected.
The death penalty sentence for crimes of paedophillia will 100% guarantee the prevention of re-offending and establish a strong deterrent.
There is no logical reason to keep paedophiles alive and provide them protection.
Thank you.
