| Message | I support this 100%. Aside from the moral aspects from an economic point of view it's more expensive to execute somebody than to keep them locked up for the rest of their life due to the rigorous legal process for it to constitute a fair trial and appeals process. Therefore the death penalty has a higher cost for society that a life sentence. It makes economic sense to get rid of the death penalty, it will reduce government expenditure and minimise a criminals impact on society. |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
