    What countries are likely to reinstate the death penalty?

    I want to say the Philippines. However, who knows if they will. The were a chamber short in 17. I thought in the midterms they would’ve definitely reinstated it.

    None of them will restore because of the financial benefits of not reinstating it. Token enforcement isn't worth all the big banks and corps from refusing to do business in your nation.

    I really wanted Duterte to be successful in reinstating it. It gave me hope after his midterm wins. The more countries that have it, the more drugs we can get.

    Duterte himself should be executed, that guy is a self admitted murderer. Would be classic if he gets the DP reinstated and ends up being the first one to be executed.

    New Zealand was thinking about reinstating it after Christchurch
    South Africa was talking about reinstating it
    Sweden and Haiti were debating the matter
    Britain might since they left the EU
    Colombia was thinking about reinstating it because of Pedro Lopez and Luis Garavito
    Philippines was talking about reinstating it some time ago

    Turkey’s president keeps talking about it. However, he’s taken no action. He’s just a squawk-box Duterte is possibly the only one who will be successful enough to do so. The more countries that have capital punishment the better it is for the United States. In particular, it would be beneficial to us if countries like the UK and New Zealand ever revived it. My conversation with Ryan did make see it’s going to be very difficult for it to be reimposed in the UK given it still has to do business with the European Union. It would be far greater of a chance once they are dismantled.

    Turkey does have the death penalty. It's just extrajudicial. Erdogan's to busy ferrying jihadists around in the middle east to make it official.

    The UK would be a solid country to execute people there are many murderers there that must die. New Zealand as well. South Africa would’ve been a good death penalty country but they abolished it 1995. They were very successful in executed people and now look at it. I worry a lot that crime will once again run afoul in this country. Look at countries that don’t have it. South Africa’s murder rates have surged to unbelievable heights. Europe is constantly under assault. The crimes taking place in the Philippines were out of control until Duterte took office. Although, Duterte himself is vile. He has killed so many drug lords there and eased the crime rates there.
