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.
