I don't have photo ID and I don't plan on getting any any time soon.

I do have my works ID which has photo on. Will that be good enough?

Crimson Dynamo 01-02-2023 10:48 AM

Can I expect your vote sir or madame?

There is no excuse



Any Young Person can get a FREE Photo ID


So do not go if you do not have a Photo ID



The Guardian
Claims many youngers will not vote



Look let those Lazy Sods stay in bed.

I know a lot of older people who now will not be voting despite having ID.
Who are Con voters too, who are livid that their government have brought this law in.

I am extremely surprised at how many Con supporters I've come into contact with who will not go to vote as a protest.
So quite a shock to me that is.

I'm unsure why they've gone with this, it's like they're fixing a problem which doesn't really exist.

Conservative's claim it is
to stop Voter Fraud.

i think it's a guard against future questioning of results, which has become the norm in other countries

They ask to see your drivers license to go to the fecking dump so this will be no biggie

But so many youngers
have no ID

They’re doing it to disenfranchise young voters because they’re the most likely demographic to vote against them

what a shame these idealistic lefties wont be able to vote woke

bots 11-04-2023 05:56 PM

the young vote couldn't get off their arses and vote for remain when no voting id was required, so that is where that argument fails

I see no reason at all for it.

I'm pleased to see however that there's even some Con supporters who don't want this either.
OR at least don't see the reasoning for it.

That it's NOT a left or right exclusive against it.
After all Blair and Labour were looking at bringing this in post 2000.
However threw it out in the end.

This lot should have done the same.
They may yet find however, it backfires on them if some Con supporters feel it's a step too far.
Then don't themselves bother to go and vote.
That would be sweet justice.

that's the Conservative Plan.

And the cheat is in

bots 27-04-2023 12:47 PM

it's not really a cheat as it affects their own voters almost exclusively :laugh:

Who other than a tory is going to a) read the propaganda and b) believe it :laugh:

joeysteele 27-04-2023 02:39 PM

Well now, why should it be any surprise whatsoever for the Cons to be found MISLEADING voters.
It's one thing they have developed a unique art in doing.

Crimson Dynamo 27-04-2023 02:53 PM

Union chief gets strike dates wrong = honest accident

Conservative leaflet makes printing error - misleading scum at it again
