[[link removed]] Building a better democracy{SALUTATION~DEAR NAME OR FRIEND},
It is hard to believe: on top of an electoral system that is warped and
discredited, over nine million people missing from the electoral roll, and
elections open to the influence of unscrupulous donors and misinformation…the
government chooses to make it harder for us to vote.
Make no mistake: the government’s voter ID plans - announced yesterday - are a clear threat to our democracy
[[link removed]] .
Despite only eight allegations of "personation" fraud (the crime of pretending
to be someone else at the ballot box) in 2018 across the whole of the UK, the
government is now making it harder to vote for millions of legitimate voters.
This is a gross electoral injustice in the making.
It will cost up to £20m per General Election - but the democratic cost will be
much higher.
This ‘show your papers’ policy must be stopped. Will you sign our petition to
say no to US-style voter suppression laws in the UK – and yes to real democratic
reform?
