The government is going to allow people to acquire free Electoral ID's anyway, And if someone can't be bothered to go and get one they probably don't care enough to vote anyway

2019-10-13 14:03:50 UTC  

"In a paper when the trial was announced, the Electoral Commission warned certain groups of the population were less likely to have acceptable forms of ID. They include young people, people from black, Asian and minority ethnic communities, women and the elderly."

2019-10-13 14:04:01 UTC  

So literally everybody

2019-10-13 14:04:39 UTC  

Apart from white middle aged people, although they were probably just not listed. Its not even as if they are barred from voting, just perhaps disenfranchised from doing so.

2019-10-13 14:05:06 UTC  

no but you see if you subtract women and the elderly, ethnic minorities will turn the tide of an election. textbook rigging

“The trial was deemed a waste of time and the public’s money, and this roll-out will be no different. The Conservative Government have already showed disdain for our democracy and this move is simply further confirmation of that.

“Rather than electioneering by making it harder to vote, the Conservative Government should be focusing on ways to encourage democratic participation, such as through extending voting rights to 16 year olds"

This is the part where we all throw our heads back in laughter.

2019-10-13 14:15:23 UTC  

'they should be focusing on ways to encourage democratic participation, such as ignoring what people vote for and doing whatever they want to.'

2019-10-13 14:44:13 UTC  

Absolute monarchy as long as the rulers are warrior kings tbh

2019-10-13 14:44:23 UTC  

That would be protofascism

2019-10-13 14:50:34 UTC

KEK

2019-10-13 14:50:37 UTC  

Imagine voting.

2019-10-13 14:50:48 UTC  

We should just embrace Fascism.

2019-10-13 14:53:09 UTC  

No

2019-10-13 14:53:15 UTC  

Yes

2019-10-13 14:53:16 UTC  

Fascism is stupid

2019-10-13 14:53:18 UTC  

Liberalism has failed us.

2019-10-13 14:53:35 UTC  

So move away from Liberalism towards Libertarianism

2019-10-13 14:53:44 UTC  

That is liberalism

2019-10-13 14:53:44 UTC

Fascism means your country is either going to be at war or preparing for war

2019-10-13 14:53:56 UTC  

False

2019-10-13 14:53:57 UTC  

It's not a good idea long term

2019-10-13 14:54:11 UTC  
2019-10-13 14:54:17 UTC  

It's not false

2019-10-13 14:54:28 UTC  

Fascism is Militaristic and Expansionistic

2019-10-13 14:54:36 UTC  

What do you think that combination is going to lead to?

2019-10-13 14:54:42 UTC  

Not always expansionist, no.

2019-10-13 14:54:47 UTC  

Greece wasn't when they were.

2019-10-13 14:54:51 UTC  

In the vast majority of cases

2019-10-13 14:54:52 UTC  

but @The Electric Lizard false, you can't argue with that

2019-10-13 14:54:56 UTC  

Spain wasn't

2019-10-13 14:55:00 UTC  

Portugal wasn't

2019-10-13 14:55:01 UTC  

Italy was

2019-10-13 14:55:03 UTC  

Germany was

2019-10-13 14:55:06 UTC  

Just Italy and Germany

2019-10-13 14:55:11 UTC  

Not the majority.

2019-10-13 14:55:20 UTC  

"In the vast majority of cases"

2019-10-13 14:55:21 UTC  

Again.

2019-10-13 14:55:22 UTC  

False.
