”Government defeated over voter ID plans in House of Lords”

Yes this democratic organisation of upright (sometimes) citizens has deemed reasonable voter ID as a threat to democracy. Their thinking:-

“Imagine if the outcome of the next election is a modest majority… where throughout the day the media story has been voters being turned away from polling stations,” he said.
“That seems to me a very significant political and constitutional risk that does need to be taken into account if this measure is introduced.”

God forbid that voters should actually be who they say they are. How would the Imams ensure they got the right labour MP? Or George Galway? They’d have to double the postal vote. Think of the paperwork.

Thank heavens that we have the ultimate democratic institution — the Westminster Care Home for washed up tossers, to scrutinise the commons.
