Milestones

Hold a referendum on whether to reintroduce Capital Punishment, for heinous crimes in particular, to give those of voting age the chance to disapprove, abstain or support a penalty of removing life from a human being for heinous crimes.

The Referendum could contain a simple statement (based on the pure principle of reintroducing Capital Punishment for heinous crimes). In my view, the result would help show the collective feelings within our Nation and whether Capital Punishment should be a penalty within the legal system. I believe that justice would be obtained for heinous crimes against the vulnerable and defenceless and that an element of closure may be obtained by those wronged.
