Give prisoners the right to vote in elections
Should incarcerated prisoners be given the right to vote in elections?
Conservative "And now [Strasbourg] - they want to give prisoners the vote. No, I'm sorry, I just don't agree. Our Parliament - the British Parliament - decided they shouldn't have that right." - David Cameron.
DUP "Continue to oppose the ludicrous ruling by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) giving prisoners the right to vote." Source: DUP 2014 Manifesto.
Green Party "I believe human rights apply to everyone in society." - Natalie Bennett, Green Party leader. "However, she qualified this broad principle by adding 'Judges should have the right to remove it in cases of electoral fraud, for example.'".
