Apparently proving you are who you are (unless you voted by post) and voter ID meant that usual Tory voters couldn't vote? Much more likely they didn't exist to be honest. He's unhappy that the tory's electoral rule changes designed to increase their vote didn't work, and then complains that labour are looking at changing electoral rules to increase their vote. Not hypocritical at all then Matt, Formby and Romey 1878 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not hypocritical at all then Maybe, just maybe, all those people they drove out with Brexit before Voter ID was brought in were actually voting Tory!

Council went from.. Tory 13, LibDem 12, Independent 11, Green 1 (so no overall control) to.. LibDem 33, Tory 5, Green 3, Independent 1 Now that's handing the nasty party their arses on a plate! I've probably mentioned before that, prior to leaving Britain, I was an approved parliamentary candidate for the Liberal Party. David Penhaligon was the heart and soul of the party back then, and he was tragically killed in a car accident on his way home to Cornwall for Christmas. I was good friends with Roger Roberts, Liberal Party candidate for Conwy. He's now Baron Roberts of Llandudno, and I was able to reach him a little while ago via House of Lords email. They were exciting days for the Liberal Party, before they hooked up with the Gang of Four in the Social Democrats (important lesson for today).
