2017 年底至 2018 年间，英国和欧洲委员会就囚犯投票权问题达成了休战协议，但几乎没有人注意到。威斯敏斯特没有响起钟声，也没有举行胜利辩论。所有的主角都早已耗尽了精力，或者说，至少将注意力转向了英国脱欧。本文评估了“利丁顿妥协”，根据该妥协，英国政府开始赋予日间释放囚犯选举权，而苏格兰和威尔士议会则根据刑期长度给予一些囚犯选举权，从而开启了对抗的新方面。它评估了这些举措在权力下放背景下的重要性。它还研究了这些解决囚犯投票问题的不同方法如何与斯特拉斯堡法院的判例相一致，以及目前在英国各地对民主权利的不同理解的盛行程度。
Between late 2017 and 2018 the United Kingdom and the Council of Europe called a truce over prisoner voting rights, and almost no one noticed. No bells rang out, no triumphal debate took place in Westminster. All protagonists had long since exhausted their energies or, at least, turned their attentions to the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union. This article evaluates the “Lidington Compromise”, by which the UK Government moved to enfranchise day-release prisoners, alongside Scottish and Welsh Parliaments opening up new aspects of the confrontation by moving to enfranchise some prisoners on the basis of sentence length. It assesses the significance of these moves in the context of devolution. It also examines how these different approaches to resolving the prisoner voting issue square with the Strasbourg Court's jurisprudence and the extent to which different understandings of democratic rights now prevail across the United Kingdom.
