voter id

[Rjk]

How do you come to that conclusion? It's the norm in western European liberal democracies.

If anything, it's straight out of that playbook.

because the discourse around it is practically the same as in the states, where the right are bringing it in under the pretence of counteracting a miniscule problem with voter fraud, when the real reason is to dissuade certain groups of people from voting.
I'm amazed there aren't any Tory MPs with the integrity to speak out against this.

it's clearly not the same as some European countries that have various long standing I'd requirements. i.e. in France everyone must carry ID at all times anyway, so it doesn't have any bias effect at the polling station
