I would vote yes if sufficient safeguards were put in place, better than those we had in the past. There would need to be an independent review of evidence to make sure there were no miscarriages of justice. The Police and CPS can't be trusted for this. Without the safeguards I would vote no.
However (without wishing to stray too far off-topic or opening a different debate), the need for Capital Punishment would be drastically reduced, though not eradicated, if we didn't keep importing some of our worst criminals from abroad. We have enough of our own.
