UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

The moral of the story: check the government website to see if your ID is accepted. These weren't accepted last year, so why would they be accepted this year?
I don't agree with the photo ID policy, but it's really not that difficult to do a basic Google search to find if you have what you need.
Agree. In principal.
But wonder if not accepted last year if a valid point.
Most folks do not have election every year. It is much more likely thos os the first time these folks have tried to vote.
But yeah. Voter ID is just a failed way to fix a problem that never existed. By reducing the ability for certain membews of the population to express a vote.
