Sarah Olney

Liberal Democrat — Richmond Park

Speaking in the House of Commons on 13 November 2024

Debate

Representation of the People

Contribution

The hon. and learned Gentleman mentioned that he does not see why political parties that compete fairly should have anything to fear. I put it to him that it is not a fear of political parties; it is much more about upholding the rights of voters. It is their interests that we need to protect, not the interests of political parties. That is why we are calling for the abolition of voter ID, although I fully take on board his points about the situation in Northern Ireland.
