A major upcoming debate in the UK parliament is over the voting rights of prisoners and whether they should be allowed to vote in elections.
The European Court of Human Rights has stated that as there is no law against it, that criminals should be allowed to vote. Indeed in several countries in Europe prisoners do have right to vote, some countries have limited the prisoners voting rights and some have a blanket ban on it.
So should prisoners be allowd to vote and if so should it be restricted to some of them or should all people have the right to vote?
