When people with disabilities are disenfranchised, when ethnic minority voters are disenfranchised, when working class voters are disenfranchised, we need to be worried. That's why this Senedd and every Member should oppose this Bill and oppose any attempt to disenfranchise our citizens. This Senedd should not be a junior partner in the hollowing out of the democratic and human rights of our citizens. It undermines all democratic government, and it undermines us as a people.

Let us finish our argument, our debate today with another Boris Johnson quote:

'I will take that card out of my wallet and physically eat it in the presence of whatever emanation of the state has demanded I produce it.'

Well, Llywydd, Boris is clearly against ID, so I'm sure Darren Millar and his colleagues will join us in supporting the Plaid Cymru motion this evening. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
