| 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: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |
