I'm genuinely puzzled by the idea that mandatory voter IDs necessarily mean voter suppression. Are voters really suppressed in all those European (not just EU) countries where IDs are mandatory? If they are, why do I not hear or read about widespread protest?

No but in all the states that I know of where voter ID is mandatory, governments issue ID cards to every citizen so it is no problem in such places.

@Paulos_the_fog So what is the problem with issuing ID cards to anyone who wants one in the UK? If someone doesn't want one, and doesn't want to vote, that's up to them.

I'm not the slightest bit interested in arguing about it. So far as I am concerned, it's a measure that is designed to suppress the votes of those who are most likely to vote Labour or more generally against the current government of scum.

There is absolutely no evidence whatever that voter fraud of any sort was significant in any constituency and it is, therefore, a solution to a non-existent problem!
