Honestly, I haven't done a ton of research on the topic, but I'm always wary of the government demanding to collect data on it's citizenry.

On the other hand, it's a good idea in that it would reduce illegal voting. Or at least, that's what they tell you.

Maybe I have a borked perspective, but I see certain MSM outlets like Fox pushing for VoterID super duper hard. But, why? What's the motication? Don't pretend to tell me it's because they care, because they don't. Fox is just as bad as CNN. Suck off Tucker all you want, he's still pushing an agenda for foreign billionaires.

So, what are your thoughts? Is VoterID a good idea? Is it just another agenda being pushed for a covertly nefarious purpose?

Except the US doesn't constitutionally uphold such a principle (unless I've missed something).

I'm not talking about the US. You're under the illusion that the writings of men who call themselves Government represent legitimate authority. They do not.

I was under the impression we were discussing US politics.

The government exists because of the actions of the masses. The government can't exist with the people propping it up.

So, yes, they are a legitimate authority because the govt has the ability to force it's will on it's citizenry because said citizenry gave them the power to do so.

Is the government good? Are those in positions of government doing what's right? Hell no. But, to say they're not a legitimate authority is removing the responsibility from the people who voted them in.

Agreeable to say they have authority over the people who voted them in (without getting into the issue of informed consent), but what about the people who voted against them? Or the people who did not vote at all? If you don't vote, you don't consent. So they have no authority over anyone who did not vote for them.

Ability to force != authority.
