Labour accused of plot to 'rig' next election by axing voter ID scheme and allowing millions of foreign nationals to vote
The Daily Mail ^ | 04 Jan 2025 | MARK HOOKHAM and ANNA MIKHAILOVA

Labour was last night accused of plotting a shameless bid to 'rig' the next election by sweeping away laws to prevent voter fraud and allowing millions of foreign nationals to vote.

Speculation is mounting in Westminster that ministers are drawing up radical reforms that will dramatically overhaul the way elections are held – and potentially 'lock in' a Labour Party majority.

The Government is already planning to extend the right to vote to 16 and 17-year-olds, with legislation expected later this year.

Now the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR), a Left-wing think-tank closely aligned with Labour, has called for the 'removal or relaxation' of rules that force people to show photographic identification before voting.

Introduced in 2022, the rules were designed to protect postal and proxy voting from fraud and crack down on vote intimidation.

The IPPR, however, warns turn-out is falling among non-graduates and renters and says lessening the photo ID requirements, or axing them, would 'reduce inequality at UK general elections'.

Its report adds: 'Letting current trends in political inequality play out would be an obvious act of self-harm for this Government.'

The IPPR also suggests that 5 million foreign nationals be allowed to vote – a massive extension of the franchise likely to overwhelmingly benefit Labour.

One other thing about Labour they actively tout lowering the voting age to 16 as well in hopes of enlisting new “dupes” if you will.

The people who bitch about ‘threats to democracy’ cook up the most anti-democratic schemes.

It makes sense why they were very quick to arrest Tommy Robinson.

DJT needs to get involved in what is going on in Britain and let them know the grooming has to end, the foreign minister who has trashed Trump constantly has to go and they have to allow for fair elections or they can kiss our special relationship goodbye.

I think Megxit symbolized the end of our special relationship with the UK.

Perhaps Harry was right after all to leave the UK.

Be thankful that Our Republic has Trump to lead it.

Trump has been able to “neutralize” the elite atop the Republican wing of the Uniparty.

The common folk of the UK voted against their party elites with the approval of Brexit.

Bojo although far from a populist opportunistically won an historic victory for the conservatives by backing Brexit which Teresa May never did.

The elite in his party threw Bojo to the curb as soon as possible to install Rishi Sunak who was backed by the elite within the conservative party known as one nation conservatives.

The voters did not so much vote for labor as they just hit flush on the toilet which is the ruling class in Westminster which is a bigger swamp than DC if that be possible.

Fact is the Brits don’t care much for true independence and self-government.

That’s why my kinfolk left England to settle here around 1800.

And here we have Euro whackjobs (and you) worried about Putin invading London after Ukraine. All he has to do is stand back and laugh as Britain commits suicide.

If the Dems could, they would lower the voting age to 5 and make it legal for the teachers to “collect” the ballots.

I haven’t read about that yet but the idea of a lower voting age pushed in other English-speaking countries with a passion.

The ability to control impressionable young people seems to loom large here.

Once you give these bastards the power they do all they can to weld the door shut. England is close to the “have to shoot your way out” point now which is tough to do when they took all the guns.

How does Sadiq Khan keep getting elected...?

Per the UK’s own stats over 40% of London is now foreign born.

It’s not suicide.

It’s murder.

By the UK’s Deep State.

Elon Musk is using what works James Carville once talked about taking the money through a trailer park to get results as a way to defend Bill Clinton from what he did to Paula Jones.

Elon and others are trying to fuel the Reform Party to drive change in the UK with cash.

The Dems have been making noise about lowering the US voting age to 16 for a while now.

Not as much political power as Labour’s big parliamentary majority to make it reality.

The English need a revolution on the scale of Dr. Guillotin’s invention. Complete with wheels for easy movement.
