At one time if you were in prison you were not allowed to vote as part of the punishment. Now up in this neck of the woods its been decided that its against human rights to deny prisoners the vote daft as it sounds. So there is a good chance that several million pounds will be paid out come May and the Hollyrood elections because prisoners cannot vote and the change will not be ready in time. Is it right to allow them the vote or right to deny them it?

Any comment from Greg Pope on this though it seems to be a Scottish issue at the moment.
