UK can decide which prisoners vote, says European Court

Quote:

The European Court of Human Rights has said individual governments can decide how to implement a ban on convicted prisoners voting.
The judgement means the UK will be able to decide for itself how to resolve the long-standing row over votes for inmates.

Good to see the european courts not dictating to us for a change.

Prisoners shouldn't be allowed to vote at all, well unless they are Labour voters then I suppose the rule could be changed :yep:

I should imagine there are some in prison who are more honest than those in that large building darn sarf.

Only difference being...those in prison got caught.
