Votes for Prisoners.

     Coming from the States, you can imagine my chagrin when I heard the controversy over the votes for prisoners. I know, I know they're all idiots in the states. Backward, loud and can't possibly have any good ideas. However, they have this crazy notion that if you are convicted of a felony, you forfeit certain priviledges and one of these is the right to vote. No human rights are violated in this and in keeping to this idea, prisoners are simply treated like prisoners. The prison system is far too overtaxed with standard day to day operations to be burdened with the additional responsibility of administering election day in a prison. What politician would want the prison vote anyway? Can you imagine the implications of getting an endorsement from Cell Block six? Parliament is best served by simply ignoring the European judges, and keeping things as they are.
