This topic has been mentioned by many of us on many threads since this gerrymandering tactic was announced. Even so I think it merits a thread now ahead of the May elections to emphasise just how politically skewed the accepted ID formats are and how voting fraud is in reality a total non-issue. This is a far-right government attempting to make voting massively harder for young or poorer people. That is the only story here.
Any older members here with families need to ensure their children/grandchildren etc fully understand this as the suppression tactic it is. Likewise anyone who works with young adults in any context. It is designed to push them away from polling stations. They have just one month to get this Tory mandated ID if they want to change UK politics for the better. Please spread the word.
The Owen Jones video is well worth watching even if you don’t agree with him politically, like him or whatever. He articulates what many of us have spread across countless posts in many threads and does so concisely in 10 minutes or so. He is absolutely right on this one.
