'To me there can only be one motivation left for the Tory Government to introduce these measures. They want to make it as hard as possible for people to vote, in order to help them try to hold onto power.' ✍️ DawnButlerBrent writes for MetroOpinion
, a clear failure on the part of the Government to ensure people are informed of the change.
Not to mention the financial cost of this new system – an official impact assessment reported that the policy could cost up to £180m per decade.So, if it is neither proportionate nor necessary, to me there can only be one motivation left for the Tory Government to introduce these measures.That is, they want to make it as hard as possible for people to vote, in order to help them try to hold onto power.
It is therefore a disingenuous and disgraceful strategy from the Tories, one made in their own self-interest but passed off as being about integrity. I saw hours-long queues, false claims of hacking, limited access to voting booths and rules imposed by the Secretary of State, who was Stacey’s opponent.
