  No-one is talking about the government 'dodging' it. this is all quite above board and a free vote is provided and Ministers are allowed to abstain rather than be forced to vote for it. A defence is being lined up for the Court over the sovereignty of Parliament for which the government has had to put forward a bill to allow a vote.
  
  Brian - you seem confused, this is nothing to do with the EU or 'eurosceptisism' at all but the Court of Human Rights which is linked to the European Convention.
  
  Are you happy for European judges to override our elected parliament?
  Are you happy about all the odd and perverse decisions they have made including this one on prisoners voting?
  Do you not realise that we had 'Human Rights' long before the Convention, let alone the dreadful HRA?
  Getting out of these do not diminish our real and more important rights, unless you are a criminal of course...
  
  In case you did not know the European Convention was a post-war response the the Nazis and it was never envisaged that it would be farcically interpreted the way it is now.
