Referendum on restoring the Death Penalty!

Petition Details

We call on the Government to hold a referendum on restoring the death penalty for murderers.

We question why taxpayers should pay to keep convicted murderers in prison. We believe that justice betrayed is justice denied.

Additional Information

The death penalty was abolished in the 1960s.
The last free vote in Parliament was in the 1990s.
We believe it is time the people of our country had their say.
Hold a referendum on restoring the Death Penalty!

There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

You may wish to sign this petition, which calls for the same action: "Hold a Referendum on Capital Punishment for heinous crimes" petition.parliament.uk/petitions/731789
