Dominic Raab criticises the Coalition
Dominic Raab concedes that the Coalition's proposals on prisoners votes do not go far enough to satisfy human rights.
"The government has mooted a number of proposals for addressing the Hirst ruling, including proposals to give the vote to prisoners serving less than four years, and an alternative proposal to limit the right to vote to prisoners serving 12 months or less. However, the Frodl ruling suggests that any attempt to define eligibility to vote amongst prisoners by reference to the gravity of the crime or length of sentence would not satisfy the Strasbourg Court".
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
