The Tories have introduced voter id to UK elections on the flimsiest evidence and with limited docs allowed for id.
The Veterans Minister asked for the new Veterans Cards to be allowed as voter id, but the Gov refused.
This leaked doc from the minister shows clearly the reason: the Tories are trying to stop young people from voting because the evidence is that young people tend not to vote Tory in great numbers.
