| Message | [The Right Honorable Nathaniel Simmons MP] If criminals can vote while in jail, they will vote for the party which will get them out of jail sooner. Also, our Government is not a democracy (i.e. Ruled by the masses), it is a Conservative Constitutional Monarchy. |

| Message | Criminals can vote, but they have to be rehabilitated properly first. Prison makes people think differently, therefore it is a good idea for people to be back in normal society so that they get a better understanding of the consequences of their vote. |
