None have it, its abolition is a key requirement for EU membership. Also as far as I know, not one non-EU country practices the death penalty either.

True, though Norway is not a part of the European Union. I think the only European country that has a death penalty is Belarus.

I just looked that up on wiki and saw Belarus.

Woah, you learn something new every day! Why are you guys not in the EU? You're sort of surrounded by it.

Norwegians have voted against it when it's come up in the past. I think most have done so because cheap, foreign agricultural products on the market here would outcompete Norwegian agricultural products because production costs here are so high. So people here have wanted to keep Norwegian agriculture alive, even if that means they gotta pay more for food. Norway is a very wealthy country so for the average person, it's not really much of a problem.

For the same reason, taxation will go up on some imported agricultural products like cheese next year I believe, making it so that foreign cheese which would normally be cheap becomes quite expensive which in turn makes it so that Norwegian cheese become more competitive.

The EU in general does not like that as it means we'll buy less stuff from them.

I was as furious as Trollheart when I saw Brevik's complaints in the news.

Watched this movie recently, I think it makes a point on how to punish a murderer: The Secret in Their Eyes (2009) - IMDb

Well the UK are thinking now of leaving the EU, but I doubt it will actually happen. Now we're in the EU, all everybody does is complain about what EU memberships costs the country and how Brussels always dictates to us. Now that we're thinking of leaving, everybody is now concerned about what we would give up if we left the EU and the benefits of EU membership.

I'll be nice and concise here: If the UK leaves the EU I'll leave the UK, Belarus is a very poor example of what goes on in Europe nowadays and that dirty scumbag should be grateful he's being protected from being straight-up murdered by vigilantes in his cold, butterless cell.

Why would you leave the UK? What difference does it make to you if they're in the EU or not?
