Let's have a referendum on the death penalty I say.
For what crime(s)? Internet trolling? Bad psephology?
Murder. I'd vote against reintroducing it but I'd enjoy the discomfort of the chattering classes as they see 40-45% of people disagreeing with them on a subject they decided on 50 years ago and don't want to be discussed now because they know better than everyone else.
People are not pro or anti because of any factual or analytical analysis - it's a gut feel. That's just the way it is. Argue the facts all you want but you'll find you can't persuade anyone on either side.
Of course people can be persuaded. I was in favour of the death penalty when I was a teenager, then I changed my mind because of evidence and rational analysis and persuasion.
