Votes For Prisoners?

Civitas, 9 February 2011

Tomorrow the House of Commons will decide whether or not to defy the decision by the European Court of Human Rights to force the people of this country to give votes to convicted criminals who have been sentenced to prison.

There are some comments by David Green at the Daily Telegraph. Carolina Bracken has written a commentary on the Civitas website. And a description of Dicey’s interpretation of our constitution can be found here.
