BREXIT

Are you being deliberately obtuse? This isn’t about people with lanyards who work in the NHS or construction. It’s about 11 million people, mostly the poorest in society, who are to be denied a right to vote, unless they pay money they can ill-afford for photo I.D. they don’t normally require. This is voter suppression on a grotesque scale and something everyone should fight against.

For me it has gone far past whether we remain or leave the EU, the most important thing is who is in Government and it’s crucial we elect a socialist Labour government.

We’ve suffered precisely because we haven’t had a socialist government. Look at Portugal, who have recently re-elected the Socialist Party back into Government. The Socialists have halved the unemployment rate, created 270,000 new skilled jobs and have an economic growth rate that outstrips ours. Socialism works, Comrades.

I'm trying to answer two posts in one. Firstly Ian h block moderator why do you resort to name calling wrapped up in words you think nobody will understand. Just for the racord I am not slow on the uptake I answered what I thought was an objection to I d cards. Not just NHS and construction but virtually every other job you can do will issue you with an I d badge. Every course you are set on you will get a card with your name and photo on. So what is the problem with this because we all have them. Secondly to lobster I see where your coming from with Google yes they have to much power to gain Imformation.this is why I always have refuse loyalty cards because it is just another way to find out what you buy and later bombard you with adverts. And finally what makes people believe these 11 million people would naturally vote remain or Labour. I say this because I think I have stumbled on a Labour propaganda site

I have removed the libelous bit

The Tories saying “trust us” on a deal to protect workers rights is like a crocodile smiling and saying trust me, I won't rip you to pieces if you swim across my river. Stay far away from the water.

Any chance you can answer my question 

Just found it. I was out all day yesterday. I think any kind of I d is better than none. It would simply allow allow a person to be electronically ticked off thereby ensuring the name is only used once. We must have the technology by now. Every body must have some sort of Id unless they have no fixed abode. So yes to answer your question if it ensures only one vote per person

So how would you prevent fraud. Instead of calling me delusional pray give us your answer.

Do you honestly believe there is no fraud in elections we have block voting in certain areas. We have people who need to have somebody with them in the voting booth because they can not read or speak English. We had one Councillor who voted for himself twice because he thought he was allowed to. God I wish I had your faith in people it's life if it can be filled, it will be

One conviction for voter fraud in 2017 says it isn’t a problem at all, so I don’t know where you’re getting your information from (although I can guess, especially as you are pointing the finger at non-English speakers).
Mind you, as someone who has worked as a Presiding Officer in a Polling Station for every election in the past 25 years, the only people I’ve met who struggled to read the ballot papers were the Tommy Robinson enthusiasts at this year’s Euros.

by the way all opinions are my own i read. i listen.and i form an opinion.don't try to hang a tag on me .i just dont believe that because there was only one conviction it guarantees there are not others.brexit divides hence fifty odd pages on here.but who is right or wrong nobody knows .we all think we do but it's not possible because its all guess work.oh and i am happy with a point today

This country sorely needs a General Election.

The Government wants one in fairness, the opposition parties don't seem to be in a place to take them on.
