Tony May	I have to say that this has been an excellent debate! Passionately discussed but discussed rather than argued so well done all posters. As far as my opinion goes I can see both sides of the argument clearly and cannot really choose between the two at present. I agree in principle with Jk when he says that if we are supposed to be adhering to agreed Human rights legislation then we cannot 'pick and choose' what parts of that agreement we conform to. I also believe in restorative justice so can see the sense in allowing prisoners to vote because as someone here said if we treat prisoners as 'subhuman' what incentive is there for them to think differently about the harm they have done to society... The snag is I also agree with Mr Reason on a number of points. The onus far too often these days is on protecting an offenders human rights when he or she thought nothing of stamping all over his or hers victim/s. Not only this but I also fear the sway the E.U. has upon our parliament these days and as Mr Reason points out these rules have been in place for a good many years its not as if we have recently changed them just to be spiteful... All in all, its a photo finish subject for me.

hedda mp	denying prisoners a vote panders to nastiness and achieves nothing.
