There has been debate on a number of radio stations over the last few days on prisoners having the right to vote. According to reports today some prisoners will be voting in the May elections.
I feel that prisoners should be able to vote. They have human rights and they should have a voice despite their crimes. I can understand the reasoning behind the argument that some of the 'evil' prison population do not deserve any human rights. The likes of Myra Hindley a prime example.
Well I''m postal voting this year for the first time. I am split between spoiling my ballot paper or voting liberal democrats. The same people run whichever government gets elected so I'm not sure why I vote at all. Perhaps I feel that one day things may change or perhaps I just get sucked in with the rest of the brain-washed herds.
The conservative campaign makes my blood boil. Their slogan 'Are you thinking what I'm thinking?' really irrates me. Quite frankly Mr Howard I am not thinking what you are thinking. I am thinking 'why don't you take down these stupid posters' and concentrate on some real issues. The latest one that I seen this morning has a picture of Tony Blair with the words 'Another 5 years of this man' Are you thinking what we are thinking? Childish games and a waste of money.
They spend more time attacking each other. It really is pathetic.
