It's the other way round OB as you well know !
. Those without passports, driving licences are likely to be from lower socio economic groups and more likely to vote Labour. That's what's really behind this. We need to increase people's participation in democracy not decrease it.
Suspect it will fail just like they tried to change election boundaries. More fair minded Tories, there are a handful, will oppose it. The whole Queens Speech is a waste of time and will get voted down.

Or the Tories who spent thousands in the 2015 campaign transporting activists to marginals, and not declaring the expenditure against election rules. The isolated fraud cases aren't all on one side.
You seem to see fraud everywhere, benefits, voting. Not a very high opinion of the riff raff have you !
