| United Kingdom Politics Having secured a third term, we will fulfil our promise to renew our country and take Britain forward to a better future not back to a failed Tory past. Our continuing success depends on our continuing to pursue a new Labour agenda as a modern progressive party. We will focus on three crucial areas: the economy, modernising public services, tackling crime and asylum; building on what we have achieved to make Britain better since coming to office in 1997 |

| Capital Punishment and Liberty David Davis's actions in resigning his seat in order for him to fight a by-election on the general issue of the erosion of liberty and more specifically on 42 Days detention has placed his support for capital punishment in the spotlight. People have remarked that there is a contradiction between supporting the idea of liberty and supporting capital punishment for pre-meditated murder. Did we as a nation have less liberty during the not too distant past when capital punishment for murder was routine? Do we have more liberty now that capital punishment has been abolished? So as not to sit on the fence I would personally welcome the return of the death sentence for murder. My feelings are that the consequences for taking a life are not severe enough to act as any sort of deterrent. We make laws against carrying a knife or carrying a gun but when these weapons get used in anger the penalty is far too light. What do others think?      |
