#1 Pure folly. Murderers effectively get two votes and live to enjoy the privilege of course. Other great leaps of human rights logic are surely around the corner.

#5 "...it doesn't matter how heinous the crime, everyone is entitled to have the basic human right to vote,"

#6 Are their victims still dead? Can they vote?

When will the Brit's learn that the EU is circling the drain?

#7 EU/Council of Europe -- it's six of one and half-a-dozen of the other to us. Next the convicts will have the right to bear arms.

#8 Its from the same people who believe a mass murder can't be executed cause 'life' is a basic human right. Not that the rights of the victims count. They have no standing in these types of courts.

#9 Convicted murderers SHOULD be allowed to vote. Vote on what thier last meal is and on being shot or hung.
