Most politicians would eagerly fix any voting system in their own favour, says Andrew Marr
Opening LBC's Tonight with Andrew Marr, the presenter addressed potential changes to the voting system, highlighting Jacob Rees Mogg's admission of the Tories' attempt at gerrymandering and Labour's plans to allow 16 and 17 year olds to vote.
"They’re there for the National Conservatism Conference, which also had lots of British delegates and was addressed by Jacob Rees Mogg, by the Home Secretary Suella Braverman and many more. "Meanwhile, I think by coincidence, on the other side of the road, on a pavement just below the Home Office, there was a very different kind of Christian gathering, an open air prayer meeting, led by a priest in his surplice, singing hymns and praying to show their support for migrants. So there's a little picture of the divided, passionate politics of modern Britain.
"Here’s what he said: 'Parties that try and gerrymander end up finding their clever scheme comes back to bite them, as dare I say we found by insisting on voter ID for elections. "At their most paranoid, Tory MPs were suggesting that Starmer was doing this in order to force through and win a referendum to get us back into the EU.
