Johnson is facing more inquiries into his misdemeanours than there were incidents of voter fraud at the last election.
I wonder why this Government, a Government that is possibly the most authoritarian Government in my lifetime introducing this legislation?
Is it to stop the 1 person convicted of voting fraud, yes 1 person.
Or
Is it to make sure that millions will not vote, so ensuring a majority for the Conservative's in eternity.
This legislation is the equivalent of banning people from Mars from owning ice cream parlours in Audenshaw.
It's never a binary choice, but it doesn't need to be.
Just have 40-45% of votes cast and you'll stay in government til the cows come home. As in any fraction, keeping the top number the same with populist policies while reducing the bottom number means the percentage doesn't shrink.
You don't even need 30% of all possible voters. 2019 GE Tory share was 29.3% across the UK. More then 70% voted against them or couldn't be arsed voting. Fewer than 30% giving the power that rules the lives of the other 70%. Just need to prevent adding potential voters who are less likely to vote for you.
Perhaps the pro-ID camp are more likely to be prejudiced against those nasty people from < insert country and/or ethnic group and/or socially disadvantaged group > who wouldn't have an official ID because they are < as above >.
All those millions of illegal immigrants and work shy layabouts and mentally sick people and disabled scroungers and sick old people won't have a £34 driving licence and will never apply for a £72.50 passport and will not pay £1,330 to become a naturalized British Citizen will they.
Give them the vote and they'll be electing people who'll be giving all the money to gangs of criminals and wasting it on schemes to educate their hordes of children and keeping their elderly relatives in luxury. Better putting the able bodied in workhouses so they can earn their keep. They don't need the vote.
Better still, keep it simple and have microchips implanted, biometric ID devices or even tattooed identification. I'm sure that was tried somewhere before now.
The anti-ID camp are all just pinko communists who hate this country and all it stands for. The sooner we get back to Victorian Values that made Britain Great the better. Are there any people in Umbogoland or Kumkwiklistan that we can invade in the name of democracy, rob of all their resources, exploit for our own purposes and then bomb the **** once done. Rule Britannia.
Better with Boris.
Get Brexit Done.
Hands Face Space.
Get Your Jab.
Jabs and Jobs.
ID to Vote.
Three Word Slogan.
They'll Believe Anything.
Just needs time.
Keep the faith.
