As regards concensus, as you know in the UK , a free vote on the issue among the members of parliament has consistently been in favour of no return to hanging.
I very rarely heap praise on the honourable members, but do so on this issue.

Well first off I've never been in favour of hanging anyway. Second I'm open minded about everything (unless you're making ridiculous claims, then I'll want evidence or at the very least some form of reasoning). Third I haven't necessarily changed my mind, I've just came to understand the opposing argument alot better and give it alot more credit than I did before.
As a result I just think I'm not fussed whether the death penalty is allowed or not. But personal preference would still be to have it for certain individuals.

Thanks for the compliment nonetheless.
