can someone explain: 2
Why we are going to be asked for our National Insurance Numbers (NINOs), birth dates, and signatures to be allowed to vote in local and general elections?http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/6952227/Revealed-Britons-to-be-asked-for-NI-number-date-of-birth-and-signature-to-get-right-to-vote.htmlWhy should someone born in this country have to wait 18 years before being allowed to vote yet an incomer can do it in much less time?It seems once again this government has missed several tricks regarding registration:1: registration should be chargeable - £500 per person perhapsor2: registration should be limited to, and free for, owner-occupiers - this information could simply be obtained from Council Tax records and the Land Registry. This would ensure that only those who had invested in this country would have the right to vote as was the situation up till the 1830s.
