If it was left to 'democracy', we would have capital punishment.
However, M.P.'s have the foresight en masse to reject that, again and again.
I favour for a murder conviction, life imprisonment, and literally for that term.
I also know that some people in the past have been executed by the state, for crimes they did not commit.
Sometimes, IMO , the public does not know best, many people react without thinking things through properly.
Don't you agree ?
I agree with all that although I do not agree with life imprisonment meaning for life. Except for a certain few really nasty premeditated murders or multiple murderers.
Rather than thinking it through, too many people these days are taken in by the propaganda and razzmatazz, imo ... and they are a danger to Democracy.
On TV today it was suggested that Politicians who deliberately lie in order to deceive, should be held responsible and punished. What a good idea. Why hasn't this been implemented before?
