I thought the whole point of being in prison was having your "rights" removed.
if you ask me some of them shouldnt have the right to breathe never mind vote.
I wish I could jump ship and go live in some other planet.

I can’t necessarily agree with that Vaux. The point in sending people to prison - as far as I can see - is to satisfy the forfeit decreed by law as a result of their wrongdoing.
It may surprise some here (in light of my calling) that I'm broadly supportive of this move - although where long-term prisoners are concerned (15yrs+ say) I can't see the sense in it.
In the overall sense however this really isn't the issue - what is, is the inability of our sovereign (for the moment at least) government to prevent such directives being enforced here.
This bears much more scrutiny as we now appear to be subject to laws formulated by a body within a group where we have little say and no direct sanction at the ballot box in cases where we disagree with them.
