Country where people don’t have ID cards makes being rich enough to afford a drivers’ licence or a passport compulsory for voting
Also a restriction on bringing postal votes directly to the polling station that as best strikes as bizarre to me

It's true, us French people have to present a photo ID to vote (except in localities with less than a 1,000 people)
But we have
- A *free* ID card (not compulsory but so needed we generally have one)
- A *free* sécurité sociale (health) card
Where is the free British photo ID?

This basically is the spirit of our old "suffrage censitaire" system
'Only the "worthy" (understand "privileged") vote'
(That -FTR- led to 1848 French Revolution)
(Autotranslate that 👇if needed, the English version talks about something else)

Unless this comes with a free photo ID voting card (which would have a cost/relaunch the debate on the national ID card that, if you remember, your prime minister threatened to eat if imposed on himself), it's disenfranchisement, plain and simple.
OK it’s unfriendly voters disenfranchisement -in plain sight.
