Political activists gathered in St Peter\u2019s Square to defend democratic rights they say are under threat from government plans in the Elections Bill<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Protesters came together at the Emmeline Pankhurst statue to protest against the introduction of voter ID in polling stations, <\/span>highlighting the links with Pankhurst’s demands for women’s right to vote.<\/p>\n

According to the Census<\/a>, 17% of the overall population do not have a valid photo ID, which minimises the opportunity for every citizen to exercise their democratic right to vote. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLet us not be under any illusion. Democracy in the UK is under great threat right now,\u201d one of the organisers said the demonstration. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe election bill is one part of a pattern of deliberate removal of democratic rights.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The activists also expressed their objections to the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill<\/a>, which they claim restricts the right to gather publicly to protest and to campaign for the right of 16 year olds to vote.<\/span><\/p>\n

A protestor told the crowd: \u201cJoin me in saying yes to making our votes count. Yes to a fair voting system. Yes to a safer, happier and stable future for all of us,\u201d to which the crowd cheered in response. <\/span><\/p>\n

The protest by Make Votes Matter <\/span>began at 12pm in torrential rain. The group says it is “national movement for proportional representation.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Their petition<\/a>, which they were campaigning for, calls for a Citizens Assembly \u201cso that people can be the ones to decide how our democracy works\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
