Re: Prisoners to get the vote

So if the little old lady who was imprisoned for not paying her council tax last year, who a lot of people hailed on here as a heroine, happened to have been in prison during an election, she should not be allowed a vote?


Still not convinced. Taking someones freedom away is the punishment. We might as well throw people into dark Satanic prisons, and have the gentle folk go to gawp at them like they used to do in Victorian times.

Example. A woman is found guilty of wounding her husband in self defence, after suffering years of abuse. Should she have her democratic right to vote taken away?

Charity apparently begins and ends at home.
