What a joke, there's no reason we cant issue national insurance cards with photos and D.O.B on them, ( for the small percentage that sont have a passport or a driving licence) everyone's got one. Simple problem, simple solution.

How? as long as they have IDs they are able to vote. Why is everyone complaining about this policie? its only enhancing democracy by making it more legitimate.

Omg it escalated fast

Just thinking about the people that don't carry ID maybe OAP's or people on the poorer side of the line or Foreign people who have lived here for a number of years ( Windrush for example ). Most likely those that don't vote Tory

Keep trying. Don't you love FAKE news.

If we’re really unlucky, tories’ll have imprisoned, starved or frozen most of us dead before voting time comes round again. They’ll proclaim they’ve single-handedly ’resolved the disability epidemic’ & saved tax-payer’s £... Except they‘ll have spent it all on champagne p*ss ups.

Oh well never mind.

That's the idea isn't it?

Do black people vote? The racist lie rooted in the American psyche | Rashawn RayDespite the tactics of voter suppression working against them, black people are one of the most stable voting blocs in the US There is no voter suppression for black people. The requirement that you have an ID is for ALL Americans. The idea that only black people can't have ID to vote is itself racist. Of course they do. What's racist is saying that requiring ID to vote would be suppressing, because liberals think so lowly of black people that they don't think they have ID or can obtain one. Do black people vote? Yes, and more often for white supremacists and evangelist types!
