Marine Le Pen: I would hold a referendum on reinstating the death penalty

  1. Because she knows politicians always find a way out (or softer) so it doesn’t apply to her. Harsher penalties are only for the bottom of the pyramid, mostly poor immigrant males.

  2. I don’t have a strong opposition to the death penalty, if you want to kill a child killer you are doing the world a favour. But aren’t there more important issues?

  3. This is free advertising for her campaign. Reinstating the death penalty is a conservative position that is still quite popular among all of europe

  4. I’m not for the death penalty but I don’t think it’s that outrageous. The latest polls in France show that a majority is for the death penalty.
    I also don’t think that even philosophically it’s that clear cut that the death penalty is bad.

  5. Isn’t it stuff like this that the right has always pushed as reasons for discriminating against immigrants from the Middle East and Africa? If so, are they now admitting that “protecting our values” was just a pretense after all?
