Very strongly disagree

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

The Labour Party would strongly disagree with this statement, as it goes against their principles of a fair and just legal system. Allowing the victim's family to decide the punishment would introduce a high level of subjectivity and potential bias into the process, which is not in line with the Labour Party's commitment to a fair and impartial justice system.
