Liberal Democrats Lib Dem Peers will try to block the Government's plans today



<[link removed]>



Hi John,

Tonight, Liberal Democrat peers are taking the nuclear option to stop the
Conservatives’ shameful plans for Voter ID. We are using the strongest
opposition possible in the Lords - a rarely-used Parliamentary procedure to
table a fatal motion that would stop these Voter ID laws in their tracks.

These regulations would mean that photo identification would be required in
order to vote - something that millions of people in the UK do not have. These
changes are supposed to stop voter fraud, but in 2019 there was just one
conviction for in-person voter fraud in the entire country.

We cannot allow the Government to undermine the fundamental principles we
stand for as Liberal Democrats. They are nothing more than the Conservatives’
thinly veiled attempt to suppress the votes of people across the UK.

To beat the Conservatives in tonight’s vote, we need Labour to back our
motion. If they support us then we will defeat the Government - but,
worryingly, they're yet to confirm that they're going to come on side. Whatever
the case, they can’t stop us from standing up for what is right.

Tonight, we will oppose these harmful laws, and ensure these Trumpian measures
have no place in British democracy.



If you want to help us in our fight for fair elections for all - will you
register as a supporter for free today?



Support us for free ➜

Kath Pinnock
Liberal Democrat Peer
