This news story from the U.K. Guardian stands out:
Britons will have to show photo ID to vote in future general elections, ministers are poised to confirm this week, as a means of tackling fraud which critics claim could deter poorer and ethnic minority voters from taking part in democracy.
The proposal is to be included in Tuesday’s Queen’s speech, which will set out the government’s post-pandemic priorities and the laws it intends to pass in the forthcoming parliamentary session.
Voter I.D.? Wow. Up until now we've been told in the press there's no such thing as election fraud. We've been told that Georgia's voter-I.D. law, is "Jim Crow on steroids," by friend-of-Klansmen Joe Biden, no less. England, the nation that made the global slave trade abhorrent, has decided differently. Can pin "Jim Crow" on that country, despite Meghan Markle's wokester prevarications.
The queen's speech will also include a proposal to limit ballot-harvesting, another sleazy electoral fraud vehicle, which has seen its share of both GOP and Democrat violators, from North Carolina, to Texas, to Minnesota, as well as illegal aliens harvesting votes on behalf of Democrats on a wide scale over in California. The queen apparently wants none of that.
I didn't know that the queen had that much authority, actually, I thought she was just a figurehead. But this step shows how electoral integrity is clearly an apolitical issue, not a partisan one, as Democrats would have you believe. Nothing in this measure will stop voters from voting leftist if that is what they want. What it will stop is leftists from stuffing the ballot boxes and cancelling out the votes of others who don't want to elect leftists, which is what Republicans, with plenty of reason, suspect has been going on. And clearly, the queen noticed a danger.

Queen Elizabeth is obviously a racist. /s
Poor people shouldn’t be voting anyway. Neither should women.
RE: Queen Elizabeth is obviously a racist. /s
That’s what her daughter in law implied and her grandson seems to concur (No sarcasm tag).
Ballot harvesting is so beyond the pale as a means for fraud, I can’t believe it exists anywhere besides totalitarian regimes. It also violates the spirit of the voting process.

I hope you realize that those on the left who monitor this site will grab that statement of yours and ascribe it to every single FReeper’s sentiments.
It will be very interesting if Markle comes out and says, “See? What did I tell you?”
> I hope you realize that those on the left who monitor this site will grab that statement of yours and ascribe it to every single FReeper’s sentiments.<
Yep. This same is true with comments that are subtly racist. It makes everyone here - including JimRob - look bad. We are truly in a struggle for the future of the Republic. Inappropriate comments won’t help our side.
“It will be very interesting if Markle comes out and says, “See? What did I tell you?””
And the response to any statement Markle makes should simply be, “God save the Queen.”
So they would be exempt from any taxation.? " No taxation without representation". Or are you missing a few sarcasm tags ?
I don’t know why we can’t take election integrity seriously with a few small steps.
1) You need an ID
2) You need to vote in person the day of the election unless you REQUEST a mail in ballot which due to the fact that you are not in person your signature will be analyzed.
3) The time period for mail in ballots is less than 30 days before the election, 30 days prior you can request a ballot and it must be postmarked 3 business days before the election.

Perhaps all citizens should be required to have some knowledge of Civics before being allowed to vote.
As for not allowing women to vote, I agree.
> You need an ID <
Most union leaders are very liberal. And they rail against “voter suppression” ideas put forth by conservatives. Now here’s the interesting thing. I was a union member for 30 years. To vote in a union election, I had to show my ID AND be known by someone working the door. Just one or the other wasn’t good enough.
Lefties could not be more hypocritical if they tried.
“I don’t know why we can’t take election integrity seriously with a few small steps.”
Because you’re proposing reasonable steps, but we are not dealing with reasonable people.
I'm only remarking on the practicality of allowing poor people and women to vote, not on the justice of it, or the rectitude of it. And to tell you the truth, I don't give a carthorse's crap what people of the left who monitor this site think about my opinions. They're not going to invite me to their parties anyway.
The Queen is the sovereign. She can take back the reins of power anytime she chooses, to include banishment of Islam. Political power comes from the barrel of a gun.
Fantasy. She can’t. Parliament is sovereign, has been so for 350 years. The monarchy continues only by the will of Parliament.
