Bill: Capital Punishment Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Nationalist Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: April 2126
Description[?]:
| A bid to bring about the seperation of the head from the body of those citizens whose vile acts have desecrated innocent life or the virtue of womanhood. This vile non-persons must be removed in the most terrifying painful way known to man, therefore we propose the use of hanging, drawing and quartering. This is a proper punishment befitting the vile acts of the convict in question. Life in prison is a total waste of time, if you support life in priosn, it makes far more sense to execute the convict. |

| Message | thankyou, we see that two of the other parties seem fairly leftist, hopefully the rw libs are actually right wing. |

| Message | Generally it costs more to execute the death penalty than it does to maintain life in prison. Furthermore, life in prison is a far crueler punishment than a death sentence, and murderers/rapists deserve this crueler sentence. Therefore and with these two things considered, we are voting against. |

| Message | rlp, did you read it properly, hanging drawing and quartering? you really support that? the LPE sees all forms of capital punishment as barbarous and immoral, as well as expensive and irreversible if proved wrong. we will be voting convincedly against. |

| Message | We feel that the very barbarity of the methodology will act as a deterent to offenses which will lead to this punishment. |
