Capital punishment for officials guilty of treason, corruption, misconduct
We believe for too long our government and institutions have had officials who don't have the country's or the public’s best interest at heart. We think serious action is needed to prevent treason, corruption, and misconduct in public office. Those found guilty should face capital punishment.

Background
We think people in positions of power face no consequences for their actions and they often get pay rises, knighted or peerages despite their failings. In our view, anyone in a position of power should face capital punishment if found guilty of treason, corruption, or misconduct in public office.
