Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 5:38 pm on 26 January 2022.
Although UK Ministers have promised a free ID, as I've just mentioned, the details on this aren't in place, and doesn't it place another barrier in the way of voters?
The UK Government should be tackling the real issues in our politics, and make it easier for everyone to vote and to participate in our democracy. We are not representative as a Senedd, and placing further barriers will stop more people becoming part of this democratic process. Our electoral system is already unequal. The UK Government's plans would exacerbate this. We must do everything possible to stop this from happening here in Wales.
