Women's long journey to win the right to vote

It was 90 years ago, on 2 July 1928, that women in Britain finally achieved equal voting rights with men. But it took almost 100 years of losing vote after vote before women won the right to vote.

Can vote but don't? Shame on you.

Don’t tell me that voting doesn’t make a difference. Remain would have won last year’s referendum if those who could vote but didn’t had voted. 

Should prisoners be allowed to vote?

• Should all prisoners be refused the right to vote?

In the UK all convicted prisoners are denied the right to vote. 

But the European Court of Human Rights has ruled that Britain's blanket ban on voting for all convicted prisoners is a breach their human rights. Allowing only some categories of prisoners to vote would be ok, states the Court; but refusing the vote to all convicted prisoners is unacceptable. What do you think?

Stop Facebook's new face

It's time to face facts about Facebook


The world's largest social networking site now has one billion active users.  That’s a population larger than every country in the world except China (1.3 billion) and India (1.2 billion).  

But there it doesn't stop.
