Voter ID is back and this time its serious.

[meltonblue]

ID should be free, if this is brought in then it shouldn't cost the electorate anything.

It will cost the tax payer. Personally I don’t see it as a needed investment.

If ID is supplied free to everyone, its a good thing i suppose and I could support it albeit with reservations.

Then next year will the Government be asking for proof of proof you have proof to have an ID.

It will be as easy to forge IDs than it is to vote fraudulently. What is to stop people with multiple IDs from voting several times or hundreds of times. After all a Tory minster Grant Schapps has already got two IDs.

This is plainly a populist measure aimed at those who think it will stop people who cannot vote from voting, but stopping people who can vote from voting.

It will come to nothing.......once angry in Maidenhead gets into their MP's ribs and polling shows that Fox's anti-vax anti mask arseholes voted Tory for Brexit at the last GE and they start shouting that voter ID is more stealing their freedom the Tories will suddenly reveal how few convictions there have been and decide to shelve it

Very good documentary I watched the other day.
This whole issue of many people not having "the right kind" of identity documents. Old Boris does like abit of Trumpism

This legislation is the equivalent of banning people from Mars from owning ice cream parlours in Audenshaw.

Surely to God we have enough ice cream parlours in Audenshaw. We've got one in Littleborough, one, ffs. We need another couple to provide a bit of competition. Mind, the one we have isn't three bad!

I would have thought that you would be a fan of antitrust legislation

i still dont understand why a party of civil liberties would usher this in?

what problem of any slight significance is this fixing?

this is a total waste of effort, time and money

The Tories are not a party of Civil Liberties, they are now a party of individual sovereignty.
