Bill: Death Penalty Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Radical New Party
Status[?]: passed
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: July 2168
Description[?]:
| We believe the death penalty should be applied to all capital crimes committed in our country. Think of how much it costs to keep some serial murderer in a cell for his life. Multiple life sentences. It is extremely cheap to just "kill them off", however vulgar that sounds. |

| Message | Actually, unless you are talking about summary execution (like, say, North Korea or similar pleasant places) executing people is tremendously expensive. In any event, we would still oppose the death penalty even if it was free to administer. |
