Ban the use of Paywalls and Gated Content on Political News Articles
Online news publishers should not be allowed to charge users to read political content. Paywalls and Gated content should be banned on all articles that talk about UK politics.
Everyone in the UK should have equal access to the same information when concerning political news and updates. Publishers that gate political content stop those who cannot afford to pay subscriptions to access news that is in the interest of the whole nation. This contributes to media bias in politics and does not give the whole UK population access to the same political information. Everyone should have equal access to information about UK politics to help them vote in confidence.
