Capital Punishment in the U.K. and Ma Never vowed to end " Dead Penalty " .

                       Taiwan  should  study  about  the   capital  punishment
  in  the   United  Kingdom  which  was  the  world's  first  industrialised   country  and   the  world's  foremost  powerful  country  during  the  19th   and  early  20th  centuries .  It   has   been  a  member  of   the  European  Union  , a  member  of  the   Commonwealth  of   Nations  , the   council   of  Europe  ,   the  G7,  the  G8 ,  the   G20 ,   the  N.A.T.O. ,   the  O.E.C.D   and  the   W.T.O . 
                   I  don't  know   about  the  nine  members   of  M.O.J's  capital  penlty  abolishment  group  resignation  whether  only  for  their  accusation  or  the benefit of  the   people  of  Taiwan  . 
             Public  support  for   reintroduction  of   Capital  Punishment  .    A November 2009 television survey showed that 70% favoured reinstating the death penalty for at least one of the following crimes: armed robbery, rape, crimes related to paedophilia, terrorism, adult murder, child murder, child rape, treason, child abuse, or kidnapping. However, respondents only favoured capital punishment for adult murder, the polling question asked by other organisations such as Gallup, by small majorities or pluralities: overall, 51% favoured the death penalty for adult murder, while 56% in Wales did, 55% in Scotland, and only 49% in England.[45]
In August 2011, the Internet blogger Paul Staines—who writes a political blog as Guido Fawkes and heads the Restore Justice Campaign—launched an e-petition on the Downing Street website calling for the restoration of the death penalty for those convicted of the murder of children and police officers.[46] The petition was one of several in support or opposition of capital punishment to be published by the government with the launch of its e-petitions website. As of 12 August, an e-petition calling to retain the ban on capital punishment has received 20,000 votes,[47] 17,000 more than the e-petition calling for the reinstatement of the death penalty.[48] Petitions attracting 100,000 signatures would prompt a parliamentary debate on a particular topic, but not necessarily lead to any Parliamentary Bills being put forward.[49]
Also in August 2011, a representative survey conducted by Angus Reid Public Opinion showed that 65% of Britons support reinstating the death penalty for murder in Great Britain, while 28% oppose this course of action. Men and respondents aged over 35 are more likely to endorse the change.[50]
