Lags plan to halt election

Lags plan to halt election

"JAILBIRDS are launching legal action to stop Gordon Brown holding a General Election next year - unless he gives THEM the vote.

Lags may apply for an injunction halting the poll.

The Association of Prisoners is also pressing for a judicial review over the Government's failure to implement a 2005 decision by the European Court of Human Rights.

It ruled Britain's 80,000 prisoners should get the vote as a basic human right - but ministers still say they are consulting".

(The People, 8 March 2009, p.21).

He might welcome that move, it would give him a bit longer in power!
