Half of us want the death penalty

Because we want it, they will of course not give it to us. But if Labour offered us a referendum on the death penalty, we might vote for them, mightn't we?

If they offered us a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty, we might vote for them on that basis.

Or whether to withdraw from the EU altogether.

Why don't they just give us the stuff the Tories won't give us?

This sort of thing would happen in a rational world. What a shame that this country is not part of the rational universe.



Vote: Should the death penalty be re-introduced in some form, eg for the worst cases of murder?

Tories now on electoral reform bandwagon.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Dave Huggahoody CamCon.

Why don't you just give us referenda as I suggested on Douglas Carswell's blog?

Talking about "radical direct democracy", can we have a referenda on
repealing:

1) all anti-discrimination legislation and kill the totalitarian Equality Bill?
2) the Abolition of the Death Penalty Act 1964?
3) the European Communities Act 1972?
4) the Sex Discrimination Act 1975?
5) the Race Relations Act 1972?
6) the Disability Discrimination Act?
7) the Human Rights Act?
8) the Race and Religious Hatred Act?
9) the Inheritance Tax Act linked with the repeal of the Civil
Partnership Act?

I think these would be crowd-pleasers and heartily commend it to the
Conservative Party.

I rather doubt it will be taken up somehow, since I think it sounds too much like what the people want, so no doubt the Lib-Lab-Con will try to water it down when the time comes.

Maybe the BNP should put forward a few ideas of their own to move the debate along?
