"They are taking advantage of european laws ..i think ? Its a bloody disgrace that murderers and the like have the right so many people fought and died for " Yep right up there with labour signing up to the european constitution and handing over most of our laws in a penstroke to Brussels which thousands died for in 2nd world war to protect our freedoms. Its Brussels who state prisoners should get the vote,and due to labour theres fook all really we can do about it . | |||

"Well from the bit i saw , they were talking about lifers getting it etc. ? Which ever way. it shouldnt happen " This is one of the few occasions I actually feel sorry for Cameron. He's fucked which ever way he jumps. If he approves votes for prisoners he'll get it in the next from the Broadmoor wing of the Tory Party and the electorate and if he holds out against votes for prisoners he'll get it in the pocket from the courts and in the ballot box from the electorate. | |||

Then it fell flat on its arse when the dutch dint play ball,so the eurocrats just changed the name of it used the word ratified and pushed a federal europe on em again , which i believe gordon brown and david milliband signed up for without the british peopele having any say on the matter at all. So yeah if your saying tony blair Gordon Brown and David Millband were never members of New labour you could be right. | |||

"A convicted felon that has a determinate sentence should be permitted to vote as he or she will soon be regaining their liberty and living under the same conditions that affect the rest of us, so they should be able to vote on those conditions. Lifers and those convicted of the most henious of crimes with no chance of parole should not be permitted to vote as part of their punishment. Not all felons are inside because they are hardened criminals, and some find themselves there through matters of circumstance, some are even wrongly convicted. It is an antiquated law some 160 years old and has no place on the staute books that govern us today. If the govt don't wish to scrap it, they should at least modernise it." Maybe its all just proactive planning for the future for political parties to get there votes from there friends for when they get sent down for fiddling there exspenses or even allowed back in to politics. u might think what im saying is mad but didnt gordon brown bring back mendleson even though he had not once but twice been found to be as they would say dishonest as we would say a criminal....fook Brown even give him a peerage. | |||

Have to agree to disagee.. was Blair Brown and Millband (New Labour) that signed all the majority of our laws over to brussells it certainly wasnt the British people as they considered us to thick to even allow us a referendum. if it was not New Labour then tell me ...who was it then ? | |||

" I have not a huge prob with them voting more an issue with the eurotwats telling the UK what we should do. Let them vote but take away TV,s games consoles, ping pong balls and the rest. | |||

"Probably in the minority but i fell that if an inmate is due to be released during the term of a government he should be allowed to vote." Yeah ill go with that ,,,,after his release and the prisoner has served his time but not during it. | |||

"Probably in the minority but i fell that if an inmate is due to be released during the term of a government he should be allowed to vote." That is the argument of the European Court of Human Rights, after all an inmate released will have to live under that government. It's important to remember that many prisoners have been sentenced to imprisonment for minor crimes such as failure to pay fines as well. Rapists and Murderers are in the minority in our penal system. | |||

"Simple solution,follow the French system that includes a fixed term denial of civic rights as part of the punishment." Yeah I agree with that. Prison's a punishment, and that should mean you lose your right to vote too. If you're homeless and don't have a registered address like a hostel you can't vote which always sums up how the democratic system fails those most in need of its assistance anyway. | |||

"What about the Maastricht Treaty?.....negotiated and signed by John Major. The Amsterdam Treaty?.....negotiated by John Major but signed Five weeks after Blair took power. Please don't fall into the trap of believing that the Conservaties never signed up to anything in the EU since Ted Heath. These treaties are negotiated over many years.....and by succesive governments since Heath." we dont ! but in terms of the current predicament allowing prisoners the vote the reason that they are being allowed the vote is because Brussells pushed the the european constitution of human rights on us and Tony Blair agreed to accept it and sign over our soverign rights to govern and continue to make our own laws.. over to Brussells. He never even allowed the British Public the referndum he promised us in his manifesto, Prior to his third term in office, makes him liar. My personal opinion on why that reason may be was. A./ probably some Brussells pwerbrokers made noises of him becoming the president of Europe should he sign away our rights to govern ourselves. We all know Tony the crony had a huge ego and his mrs has made millions as her role as a barrister ,,,speacialising in yep defending human rights laws. So the current predicament now of allowing prisoners the vote was done and dusted years back when Tony blair signed us up to europe . He had a choice ...He didnt have to sign away our soverenty to govern ourselves he could have told them to simply do one. If you ask me Tony Blair put his own greed and ego before the rights and welfare of ours and his own country sorry but in my eyes he is one of many things ,,including a traitor to his own country. I can imagine it hmmmm finish my last term as prime minister move on to become the president of Europe i have the right not to let the British public vote so i wont after all they will only say no and stop me from further coining it in. | |||

"all of this is totally ridiculous to me. how can someone who breaks the rules be allowed to use those same rules to gain more money from the state that i could earn in 2 years of work. i teach my children to accept the consequences of their actions, whatever they maybe. that's the message the government should send to those that choose to break the law. i have bent the rules in my time but when i've had to pay the price i,ve accepted it as i knew that it's part and parcel of the choice i made. i watched the show that started this thread and there was a convicted killer who claimed to have been rehabilitated but when asked if he would give the majority of his compensation to the daughter of the woman he killed he said "no" the anger i felt when he said that i haven't felt for a long long time as much as we ridicule the way they do things in the middle east, all credit to them that man wouldn't be breathing now, let alone airing his views on tv. " Totally agree | |||

I will feel far more aggrieved if lags start leaving prison with a nice fat cheque for £100k because they've been denied their human right to vote.

I would disagree Labour signed us up to the European constitution which is now allowing the eurocrats to dictate our laws such as forcing on us the prisoners right to vote. So i would say New labour signed up to it not the british public. If the British public had been allowed the referendum, that New labour refused to give us and the British public voted in favour of joining the European constitution then yes i would agree and say "we" signed up to it. As we know labour refused us the referendum the choice to vote on it so no "we" did not sign up to it. | |||
