摘要

It is encouraging to see councils stepping back from this dangerous mandatory ID policy and doing the right thing (Voter ID trials blow as three councils withdraw, The MJ, 21 February). The Government should put down the US' dangerous voter suppression playbook and start reforming Westminster's creaking institutions instead. It is clear that the heavy-handed plan to force voters to 'prove themselves' at the polling station is falling apart by the day. Rather than denying the right to vote to those who lack ID, ministers should be working with councils to improve democratic engagement.
