I mean
If Labour were in charge for ten years, I’d imagine the tories wouldn’t like Britain so much. It’s kinda the point, they have wildly different ideas. Duhr (no offence)

Well it's equally so that Labour doesn't like the Cons, who are in charge.
Nothing at all to suggest Labour don't like Britain either. If the Cons wouldn't. |

there are a whole host of reasons why labour is basically unelectable. They are a mess, and as i said way earlier in the thread, i think ultimately in order for a party to emerge that can compete with the tories, it will need to split up, there are too many competing/warring factions that are fundamentally incompatible with each other on policy. That results in a watered down policy from whatever side you view it from. It's untenable really. They can kid themselves otherwise, but the last few years have shown the deep divides. The tory party has divides too, but the branch in charge don't allow policy to be watered down by the more moderate tories to the same extent as labour.

Let's say this free voter ID card is a thing for people who don't have other forms of photo ID, how many hoops will a person have to jump through to get one? Because they won't send you one automatically because it's a photo ID, so a person with a Driver's Licence or a paid form of ID instantly has an advantage over someone who doesn't. It's no different to the voter suppression taking place in Georgia where for future votes, they are banning giving people food or drink while they wait in line.... in Georgia weather... for potentially hours... That's designed to make it harder for people to vote, thus suppressing certain people from voting. If you add restrictions or make voting harder for people to do in any way, that has the effect of voting suppression. The problem is that people won't realistically get an automatic voter ID like they currently get a voting slip ahead of a vote. They'll have to likely pursue getting one when the current process is wholly automatic. You get a slip, you can take it with you, easy. When you add extra restrictions to the right to vote, it won't increase votes, it'll just decrease votes from certain demographics and that is the intended affect here. |

Aside from speculation about the Greens and Lib Dems, there's no assumptions here. The Photo ID law will more likely have an effect on people who don't vote Tory then people who do. |

PETS are to have their feelings protected by a new law, announced today in the Queen's Speech. It forms part of the government's plan to help improve "the highest standards of animal welfare" in the UK. The Bill will increase protection for all pets, sporting and farm animals. Battery cages for laying hens will be banned, as well as sow stalls and veal crates, and CCTV will be installed in all slaughterhouses in England. It will also end the export of live animals for fattening and slaughter, bring in more effective powers to tackle live stock worrying, and improve standards in zoos. The new rules, set out by the monarch, 95, at today's State Opening of Parliament, will "eradicate cruel practices" and strengthen the penalties for those who abuse animals. Maximum sentences will increase from six months to five years under the Animal Welfare (Sentencing) Act 2021. Great news! |

I mean in this case she's a glorified news anchor - she doesn't actually make laws.

Yeah, i mean like i say, it's encouraging at least. A step forward. We can only hope this becomes law in the near future.
