I looked at that. There's no academic research whatsoever in the document. It's really just a massive opinion piece.

Given the secrecy requirements surrounding elections, its hard to imagine what sort of academic research could be carried out. I think the expert opinions of the people who administer elections is as good as you are going to get.

The people who took part in the consultation were listed at the bottom of that report in the appendix - work was carried out in 2 phases, including all political parties and various independent groups.

If an elector receives an invitation to register letter but refuses to provide their date of birth or national insurance number the application may be refused. Ultimately if a person fails to respond to invitations to register, they can be issued a requirement to register. If they still fail to register they could be subject to a £80 fine.

I know you are toeing the party line here, but can you be absolutely precise please.


''may be refused''

The dob and NI number is either an absolute requirement or not. MAY implies the registration CAN be accepted without this information being supplied. So is it an absolute requirement or not and WILL refusal to supply said information DEFINITELY result in a fine ?


In other words is optionality and convenience being falsely presented as a requirement ?

I found this on line, and i quote verbatim. hoping for intelligent discussion along the lines of forums debating car parking fines !

It is important for you to understand what the form is requesting. This form is to give your consent to the government elected. This is important because it gives your ****full consent**** to any matter. For instance. Thousands of people marched the streets of London in protest against going to war with Iraq. Their efforts were futile as the government already have their consent as they have fill in the election enrolment form. You cannot give your consent then take it back, that is contradicting yourself. Therefore the government rejects any protest. The government states that they can fine you. This is not true. As it is an act or statute if you like. You are consenting to stand under statue and act by signing the form. The common law or (common sense law) states that it is unlawful for anyone to force your consent. This is known as fraud. No government act or statute can override or conflict with common law. If they come to your door again ask them under what common law does it state that you must consent to filling in this form as you have not consented to act or statute you only stand under common law, (the word must in law means you may, as it cannot conflict with common law which states you have the right of choice). If they say it is an act then ask them for evidence of your consent to standing under that act. For in common law *here say* does not stand ground. For instance. If I accuse someone of committing an offence to the police, the police will not act and arrest that individual without evidence. As it is only *here say*. If you have never filled in this form then you are exempt from standing under statute or acts and the police cannot lawfully arrest you for the act they accuse you of violating by common law. I myself have not consented to this. As I have seen the implications of what governments do with your consent. For one Hitler used the consent of his people to murder thousands of Jews. In the UK we are now at war with Iraq. (apparently not for the oil) lol . They also sold the national grid (the electricity supply) to private companies as so they can charge you more for your electricity to benefit a company or themselves. They have sold our water supply too.
This is the most important part. They are wanting your consent so you can’t deny if they want to kick you out of your home or worse as you have consented. The truth is your full consent is *******anything***** they choose to do. And I don’t trust anyone with my full consent. If 10% of the population have not filled in this form the government have broken the common law by selling the national grid as they have assumed they have your consent. You are not born into a world that states there must be a government. That is why this form exists. Or you could just use your passport to vote...
