| Message | In the real world, almost no major industrialised countries have the death penalty. It is a barbaric practice and is an ineffective deterrant for crime. According to many experts on the matter, a punishment for a crime can only be effective it is applied consistently. Some criminals get off scott free and some innocent people are executed. Also, some people who intend to commit felonies will not be deterred by the death penalty because they are mentally unstable or their crime was committed in the heat of the moment. |

| Message | Then let us apply it consistently so that it will be effective at preventing both first time murderers and repeat offenders. |

| Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
