ForestHillier,
I'm glad that you are coming round to the idea of limited voting for prisoners. Perhaps the 'do-gooders' aren't always wrong?

I wish that MPs had bothered to have a reasonable discussion with open minds, rather than voting out of cowardice for a policy that may be unpopular but is fundimentally sound.

ECHR ruled against a blanket ban on prisoners voting. By refusing to abide by the decision of a court established through international treaty, the majority in parliament are criminals refusing to abide by the decision of the courts. And we know what to do with criminals, throw them in prison and take away their right to vote!
