So in reality the difference is?Originally Posted by Rat Faced
No they wouldn't.
They would merely have to withdraw from a certain EU treaty, which they would have to do anyway before trying to introduce any legislation for a death penalty for anything
Its still on the books, however the EU Human Rights treaties have precedence..
it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.

Anywhere from 6 months to forever...
The existing legislation would automatically come into effect on withdrawing from the treaty.
It takes forever to get those bastards in Parliament to pass any new legislation not in their own direct interests

You've gone off on a tangent. i just asked how what you wrote differs from what i said...that it would need to be re-introduced.Anywhere from 6 months to forever...

However I think you may be incorrect about it still being on the books. The Crime and Disorder Act.1998 (googled) removed it as far as i can tell. The treaty you are talking of was a "never again" treaty.
Edit: this would have save me some reading

Thanks for that.
I hadnt realised that the The Crime & Disorder Act abolished the death penalty, it wasnt even mentioned in the summary we were given about it.
If that BBC thing is right, then the only Capital Offence now is Mutiny, which means only in the Armed Services in time of war probably....
If we ever withdraw from that treaty that is...
I withdraw my comment sir

I knew it had been abolished but not the details as to how.
I think where we got confused was that the treaty removed the military crimes thing...I think.

An interesting read but doesn't answer the question

Looking at the arrests in hackney today it doesn't look like those two at least were ready to die.
