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.

I'm not certain what to do either. Tory/Lib Dem or spoiling the ballot. If you do spoil your ballot paper, does it still count that you voted, etc, or do they just throw it away.
Howard is annoying, yes, but I can see the point, five more years of Blair will be bad!
