What type of ID do you need in England? We only need photographic , we get free Electoral identity cards if we don’t have a current passport ,driving licence or any other form of photographic ID .
Offering free ID levels the playing field because it just leaves it up to people to apply. That's simple.
The Tories accepted things like pensioner bus passes but not under 30 travel cards, which is arguably the equivalent.
Otherwise you need things like a passport or full drivers license, which sound accessible enough but we shouldn't assume everyone finds it easy to get those as they all require payment.
