Is there Public Support for the reinstatement of Capital Punishment?

The UK Independence Party are the only mainstream party in Britain which will campaign for a YES/NO referendum to determine public support to reinstate the offence of capital punishment.

This is not political posturing but a serious attempt at giving the electorate a say on this highly contentious issue which is ignored by the political establishment.

The subject was last given a full vote and debate in the House of Commons in 1983.

That is now forty years ago, and an entire generation have had no opportunity to express their view in our Parliament.

The UK Independence Party have long maintained that there must be a connect between the will of the public and the legislature which frames our laws.

This subject has been suppressed for too long.

We have a manifesto commitment to bring it to the forefront of current political discussion.
