#uk election

[probablyasocialecologist]

All kinds of people who claimed to be opponents not merely of Johnson as an individual but also of the political ideology that he represents nonetheless rallied behind him in the 2019 general election. So did figures in the British media with a professional obligation to remain nonpartisan.

When push came to shove, they all considered a Johnson-led administration to be preferable to a left-wing government that might undo the legacy of Thatcherism. Let’s give them their due credit for the Johnson years.

Don't Lose Your Vote! UK Edition

A snap general election could be called any day. This will be the first general election that requires photo ID if you vote at the polls (postal votes 📫 are unaffected by the Election Act 2022).

If you don't have an approved form of identification (list here), you can apply for a FREE voter ID photo card. Find out more below or use these 5 minutes to register and get your ID sorted instead ❎ because, and this is important to know, the government really doesn't want young people to vote.

The Explanation

Rishi Sunak, UK Prime Minister and Leader of the Conservative Party, may call a snap election in 2023. (A snap election is a vote brought in earlier ⏱ than the one that’s scheduled 🕐) The UK’s next general election (for MPs and the PM) is meant to happen between December 2024 and January 2025.

A snap election happens in as little as 25 days 😨 between the announcement (aka the PM asking the House of Commons’ to approve the dissolution of Parliament) and the vote 🏃‍♀️

You must be registered to vote - currently over 8 million people are not. Unlike other a democratic countries, the UK doesn’t automatically register all eligible voters. You have to do this yourself. Here’s a quick reminder of how to register:

Over the past 15 years, it has gotten harder for British citizens to vote:

Families can no longer register to vote as a household 🏡 so young voters must register themselves (Cameron Govt)

Colleges and universities are barred from registering students 👨‍🎓 (Cameron Govt)

The Elections Act requires photo ID 🤳 for anyone voting in person (Johnson Govt)

Local elections (for city and town governments) in 2023 were the first votes that required VOTER ID. According to the Electoral Commission, over 14,000 people were turned away from the polls because they had not heard about the change.

The House of Lords tried to amend the Elections Act before it passed, to include more common types of ID, such as bank statements, bills, student ID, library cards and much more. This amendment was struck down in the House of Commons. A lot of the IDs included in the approved list are more likely to be owned by older voters than younger ones. For example, a 60+ Oyster Card is acceptable ID but an 18+ Oyster Card is not.

Here’s the important thing to know: voters who don’t have a driving licence or passport or other approved forms of ID, can apply for a free voter ID photo card. Watch the video below to find out how!

And finally, please, for the love of our democracy, vote.

"Democracy is not something you believe in or a place to hang your hat, but it's something you do. You participate. If you stop doing it, democracy crumbles." Abbie Hoffman

‘nobody wants a general election, obviously’, says second PM in a row that wasn’t voted in by the general public, wasn’t even voted in by members of the party let alone the people he claims to represent, and whose party is predicted to lose said general election

#piss right the fuck off #we should’ve had a general election after johnson got pushed out #we are MASSIVELY overdue #this makes him look (a) like even more of an anti-democratic pm clinging to power without a vote #and (b) too scared to go to the polls because he knows the tories are predicted to lose their westminster streak #the only people i know that aren’t keen on a general election are - to precisely nobody’s surprise - tory voters #uk politics #ukpol #british politics

Love when someone else in the team meeting is wearing a Harry Potter jumper, and I have to sit there like "Are you just catastrophically unaware of the virtues you're currently signalling, mildly transphobic and fine with seeing bullshit done to us, or do you straight up want me dead?".
