UK government’s to-do list includes planning reforms, voter ID and limits on right to protest, but sidesteps social care and rental reform
in future elections. The dissolution and calling of parliament bill will remove the Fixed-term Parliaments Act, allowing the government to choose the date of an election without a vote in the Commons.According to civil rights groups, both in the UK and US, mandatory voter ID where there is no evidence of significant voter impersonation is little more than electoral suppression, disproportionately affecting younger and more vulnerable voters, who are less likely to be Conservatives.
