And in theory, no problem. But Tory’s have disallowed things like Young Person’s travel permits while allowing Senior travel permits. A cleary targeted strategy to disenfranchise younger people and those less likely to vote Tory.

Who watches ads these days? Either way, it’s not about their advertising / propaganda campaign. It’s about the manipulation of our democratic processes by a corrupt government. We are handing over control of our democratic rights to a party that solely has its own interests at heart. The Tory...

I was referring to this so called "massive media campaign". Of which I have seen nothing. Of course I was aware we now needed ID, I keep a close eye on what the current, highly corrupt government are up to.

I will concede that most people will have at least one form of photo ID? I can think of three or four photo ID’s within arms reach of me right now.

I don’t do social media, I can honestly say I have not seen one thing about it. And I consider myself fairly switched on. I won’t be the only one that’s missed this “massive media campaign”.

As I posted earlier, the Tory’s have rather rushed this through and aren’t informing people they need ID. There’s ways of doing this to ensure nobody loses their vote. And there’s ways of doing this to ensure some people lose their vote.

Apathetic would not describe my feelings.

Apathy? Hardly.

“Just a third of voters are aware that they will have to bring photo ID in order to vote in the May local elections – with less than 100 days to go until people must apply for the Government’s free form of ID, according to an exclusive new poll for Byline Times. From this May, every voter in...

Why do you think Tories are implementing this solution to a problem that doesn’t exist, then?

You claimed they aren’t active, you prove it. Anyway, I’m getting the idea you are a wind-up account, you don’t often see your tone and brand of rudeness outside the Bearpit so I’ll leave you to it. There plenty of others on here making the same points as me, try your routine on one of them...

You are simply incorrect. What evidence do you have that those who can’t obtain ID are unwilling to vote. Or unable? What utter nonsense. And the aggression doesn’t help you. I’ve explained my point of view, you can do with it what you like. It’s correct but I don’t have to prove anything. If...

As I explained before, not the same thing at all.

It’s been explained by me and many others on here. I’m not sure why you are taking such an aggressive tone. I don’t care for your attitude but I’m happy to explain. I am not against ID cards. I think they would be a positive if they are universally attainable. They work well in other countries...

Are you slow?

My understanding from mates living in Germany is that you are only required to produce ID if you haven’t got your polling card. The ID verification occurs at the point of registration. Most people will never be asked to produce ID at the polling station. Plus they have universal National ID...

The German system (and most other countries) is quite different to what is being proposed here. A German citizen provides identification (including national ID cards) to receive a polling card. Like the ones we receive. To receive these in the U.K. and Germany a registration process is...

There is absolutely no need for voter ID. Vote theft is not, has never been, and never will be an issue. I’m not fundamentally against a National ID scheme, it could help many people but..but ...As with anything this Tory government do, one has to examine who benefits the most. And as usual...

Nor saying you’re wrong but I have never been issued photo ID to use any library service. It’s a card and key fob with a barcode. You only need to provide proof of address if I recall correctly, no photo ID.
