No X in sentence

-

Nicola Sturgeon told MSPS she does not back Scottish prisoners convicted of “serious and heinous” crimes getting the vote. Never mind cherry picking the prisoners who should and shouldn’t be allowed to vote. By getting themselves sentenced to a jail term, every single prisoner has forfeited their right to vote.

Lemonpiper No prisoners should be allowed to vote. Indeed, a good case could be made for permanentl­y disenfranc­hising those who have committed all but the most petty offences.

Reality Demands To Be Heard • Follow the UK’S lead – no votes for prisoners no matter how serious their crimes are.
