Not really American so I don't really know much about republican policies, although they seem to around screaming "Guns!!! FREEDOM!!!! Let's invade Iran!!! Low taxes!!! Don't worry that the rest of the worlds and this countries economy will be shot because we can't get enough cash in to keep this country going..." Or something. I don't know...a lot of over here just seemed to be "Thank god" when Obama was reelected. As it is, I'm somebody who just looked at the ballot paper at the last election and went "You know, I don't like any of these guys...".
Like the majority of people here though, I don't believe in the death penalty. End of. Unlike what the Daily Mail crap newspaper likes to make it seem. Although the odd racist middle-class obese prick who thinks praises queen and country and refuses to talk to the arab guy who works at the store who wants the death penalty back and for all the immigrants to be slaughtered, or whatever, isn't our country.
Why they let Prisoners have Playstations in cell though, I don't know. EU wanted to give them the vote, at one point. They break the law, they don't respect it, and they're supposed to have a say in who rules???? Seriously, when you get prisoners liking the fact that they're in prison and reoffending to return, thats when you know somethings wrong with the system.
But I don't support the death penalty. Ever. Technically, it's still legal here for treason against the queen...or something, but I doubt it'd ever be enforced. There's still a load of stupid laws.
