It's up to Labour to shout about photo ID and postal voting, as polls show Tory ideas to cut off those they’ve damaged and broken through national mismanagement are now cut off from democracy.

 

The electoral reform society has been commenting on the Government plans to cut millions of voters out of their right to vote by introducing voter ID at polling stations from May 2023 they have labelled this change to how people vote as an expensive distraction.

Its estimated that this abysmal attack on people who don’t keep a weather eye on background politics will cost the nation £18,000,000 to administer annually with Council tax payers having to pick up the bill

It's also expected that the chaos that this will cause at polling stations will deter those who do have ID to turn away when they see the size of the queues leaving only those with a postal ballot to have the real ability to affect the national political scene.

Labour canvassers who are out and about in Conservative run Council areas have noted that the Conservatives canvassers when door knocking have kept this change secret from those who say they are voting for other parties or the don’t know/won’t say residents they come across and in many conservative led councils only national advertising is appearing on their websites and social media and is being hidden among all of the other garbage.

It's reported that People have difficulty knowing whether the information they read online is reliable or not. There is a great deal of suspicion regarding both political content online and political campaigning material. But it's known that over one third of people do not yet know that voter ID is required at polling stations.

Labour’s Angela Rayner said the statistics indicated the voter ID scheme would “lock people out of democracy”. The deputy Labour leader said: “This shocking data lifts the lid on the damaging impact the policy could have for marginalised voters.”

She is quite right but the scheme is designed to keep the Tories in office for as long as possible and even though descriptions of tactical voting in Labour’s favour in Scotland have been run out recently on the BBC following the result of the SNP leadership ballot unless Labour candidates and Councillors nationally stop limiting their use of social media then its up to the Labour leadership tp begin to hit the ground running and promote postal voting from the highest level otherwise the majority will be disenfranchised from democracy in future and Labour will still sit top of the public polls with no power where it matters.
