Cool UK to fight prisoner votes ruling

The prime minister tells MPs he will resist a European Court ruling to give prisoners the right to vote in UK elections.

What do you think? Why should those who choose to offend against society get to vote on how society is run? .

I don't agree. It may be that some serious offence e.g. life imprisonment ticks the box but for all offenders I have problems.

We all break rules. We don't all get caught though.

Is an offence which warrants a prison term not deemed serious enough?

It is the removal of a fundamental right. One has happened already, i.e. the right to freedom. That should be the punishment except very serious offences.

So a law is broken and if it warrants you lose your liberty. Would you agree that it should apply if it turns out to be a suspended sentences as well served?
