Summary
[edit]DescriptionA protester with a placard 'RIP Democracy' during a demonstration against the Elections Bill.jpg |
English: On Saturday 5 February 2022, protesters gathered outside the British parliament to demand the government drop its proposed Elections Bill which most civil society groups and serious academics agree is an attack on voter rights - a deliberate attempt to either render ineffective or suppress the votes of marginalised and poorer communities.
As the Conservative Party has orientated itself increasingly to the service of corporate interests, it has had to devise successful ways to win elections, despite having policies that are detrimental to all but very high income earners. In part it has been able to do this through the promotion of culture wars, whipping up Islamophobia, stoking fears of Britain being 'swamped' by refugees as well as inciting fears of an immediate threat from supposed enemy states such as China or Russia. However, the Tories are concerned that even such divide and rule strategies are not sufficient to allow them to continue to win elections, and they are now pinning their hopes on the Elections Bill - which along with its Policing Bill also on its way through parliament - is one of the most worrying attacks on democracy in recent years. |
