Well they did say they would do anything goes plots to decimate the vote, no matter what ever it takes; brexit must and will be blocked by the Remain camps, every trick con in the book. Thier think tank. They stated parliament will never allow Brexit. Remain/Brexit scandal.3 yrs

So the remain tories hate the vote at essence accusing the voters, us, as frauds, criminals, they will next send out ilegal voter ballots out to voters, with a tweaking mechanism to able parliament etc mp.s to errase all unacceptable votes, to their acceptable one.

Countries all over the world require photographic identification to vote. So should we .

Was a poll clerk when ID was trialled. 1 turn away. No one complained but not sure if anyone knows how many didn’t turn up because they had no ID. IMHO, trialling in low turn out council elections didn’t give an accurate picture.

Why would we not want to confirm that the voter is legally able to vote and using their own vote. If I wanted a loan, the bank wouldn’t take my word that I was who I said I was. This is lunacy, an attempt to help with defrauding democracy- look at Peterborough!
