Stop! No prisoners should be allowed to have the vote

Closed 77 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government is planning to give some prisoners the vote. The Government should hold firm and not back down to the ECHR. Prisoners lose their right to vote by committing crimes. This is a bonkers decision. The decision should be for UK parliament, not the ECHR. No prisoners should have the vote.
