As per usual, the UCP advances with pernicious, paranoia and misinformation based, anti-democratic legislation and regulations that meets little resistance because most people aren't affected by it and thus don't care. OTOH it keeps the radical and deluded base happy, and less likely to cause trouble for the UCP leadership.
These people need to see the pictures of that buffoon Boris Johnson being turned away from a poll last week, unable to vote because he didn't have picture ID with him. A law he was responsible for introducing.
My husband has recently been admitted to a care facility. He no longer has a driver's license (his photo ID) and can not (easily) travel to a registry office for a new (expensive) photo ID. He has no 'utility bills' showing his current address.
He has me to advocate for him and I will make sure he gets to vote. However, it certainly makes me realize how people would just give up when it is not easy and it costs money.
If voter ID is required, those who care enough to vote would make sure they have ID. I could easily vouch for you and we have never met. An ID simply confirms that the person voting is on the voter's list.

Turned away because he didn't have picture ID. There you go, a perfect example of why ID is required.
You've lost me. Why is it required? Was BoJo ineligible? Was he impersonating someone else? Was he trying to vote twice, or in the wrong location?
What problem did this solve?

Thank-you for sharing this information. I am one of those that this issue does not affect, but that is not good enough for me to ignore the matter.
Your reasoning helps to understand the implications of implementing the UCP wish.
Thank you, Jared. I appreciate you writing about this.

Every sentence you wrote is factually incorrect.
