Re-instate the death penalty for Treason
Rejected

What the petition asks
In a time where terror attacks become more common across Europe, we require a new form of deterrent. I put forward that the death penalty be used for those committing treason against the Crown and our Nation. We must be severe consequences for terrorists and the collaborators who support them.
Execution should be at low cost to the tax payer even if this may not be the most humane option. I personally put forward execution by firing squad.
