I just wonder if those who genuinely think that the Conservative Party introduced this measure to strengthen our democracy would like to proceed to the Nobby Cybergoat emporium of magic beans in Hove, (no photo ID needed, but bring all your cash) This is a measure introduced by a government in...

Right. How do they know they have no intention of voting? What's to stop them changing their mind? Lots of people say they won't vote but do? If what you're suggesting has actually happened, how could there not be one upheld allegation of fraud at the last council election, as per the image...

"The suggestion" is that nobody ever did it were the words I used. For the obvious reason, that were it happening, Returning officers would inevitably be reporting voter fraud, when the actual voter turns up later on. They haven't been, so it follows it can't be happening. Again, maybe in...

An excellent example of how this measure will deter voters and decrease the numbers voting

But then when the neighbour later walks in and produces the polling card, we have evidence of voter fraud. The fact that there had been almost no evidence of voter fraud at any election ever, suggests that though this is possible, nobody ever did it. I suppose it would be theoretically to...

But why does it matter? The fact is that the government of the day have made a change to the electoral system that benefits them. This government didn't have it on any manifesto, In their time in office, they have individually and collectively been found to have lied on an industrial scale and...

Oooh, days and days worth.

Well, this change came in under Boris yeh? So after the second world war, which European governments in any country at any time have as much of a reputation for dishonesty and deceit as that one? Possibly only Berlusconi (and even then!!!). So I don't really need to do any research.

It's not. Because both would be true

I doubt though that whatever law introduced the need for ID in those countries was introduced by a government with such a shameful record of duplicitous dishonesty as this one. Nor was it accompanied with restrictions which would obviously make it easier for their target demographic to vote...

Some things should just be above politics. Any changes to the way we vote shouldn't be introduced by the government of the day. We don't have sufficient checks and balances to protect democracy. The electoral commission or similar body should have complete power to regulate matters of how we...

Completely wrong. I deliberately tried to get away without showing mine to see how strictly they were enforcing it. But they were enforcing it I very politely told the clerk what I thought of the need to show this ID

Significant numbers won't drink either. It's much less prevalent in the young than it was, through a combination of religious/cultural and financial reasons.
