Centre-Left

Very strongly agree

No, too many people are innocently convicted

One of the main arguments against the death penalty from the centre-left perspective is the risk of executing innocent people. Centre-left ideology emphasizes the importance of social justice and human rights, and the possibility of wrongful convictions is a significant concern. For example, the Innocence Project, a US-based organization that works to exonerate wrongfully convicted individuals, has strong support from centre-left politicians and activists.

No

Centre-left ideology tends to prioritize social justice and human rights, which often leads to opposition to the death penalty.

Agree

No, spending life in prison is a harsher sentence

Many centre-left individuals argue that life imprisonment is a more appropriate punishment than the death penalty, as it allows for the possibility of rehabilitation and avoids the risk of executing innocent people. This position is in line with the centre-left's focus on social justice and human rights. For example, the European Union, which is generally considered to have centre-left policies, has a strong stance against the death penalty and promotes life imprisonment as an alternative.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence

While the centre-left generally opposes the death penalty, some individuals within the ideology may support it in very limited circumstances, such as for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence. This position is not universally held within the centre-left, but it does represent a more moderate stance on the issue.

Disagree

Yes, but the victim’s family should decide the punishment

Centre-left ideology generally opposes the idea of allowing the victim's family to decide the punishment, as this could lead to arbitrary and potentially unjust outcomes. The centre-left tends to prioritize the rule of law and the importance of a fair and impartial justice system, rather than relying on the emotions of individuals directly affected by the crime.
