| Party | Seats | Vote | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alternative For The Left (AFL) | 0 | No | The AFL opposes the death penalty because we believe justice should protect human rights while holding people accountable for serious crimes. Even in cases of premeditated murder, wrongful convictions can occur, and an execution is irreversible. The AFL supports strong and proportionate punishment for those convicted of the most serious crimes, but believes life imprisonment can protect society without giving the state the power to take a person's life. We also believe that justice should consider victims and their families while maintaining the principle that every person has basic rights. Instead of expanding capital punishment, the AFL supports effective law enforcement, crime prevention, rehabilitation where appropriate, and strong support for victims. For these reasons, the AFL would oppose introducing the death penalty and retain the existing prohibition on capital punishment. |
