I dunno, when the Labour party did something like this in 2006, it was a bad idea, and Cameron scrapped the National ID Card scheme as soon as he came into power. But now it's Boris, and it's a good idea again.

Anything approaching the NID scheme and I'm against, but as I've previous mentioned there are already many areas where photo id or two bills with your name/address listed are required.

I'm not convinced. Anything that can connect your identity to your vote is a dangerous idea. You vote for the "wrong" person, and then one night the secret police are knocking on your door to 'disappear' you.

And since when did your actual vote get registered to you? That's the whole purpose of a secret ballot...other than people on social media who just have to tell you...

https://twitter.com/sausageonstick/status/1392097081788145666" As you will know, you are expected to carry an ID card at all times, whereas I would imagine voter ID you would only need to carry twice in about 4 years...so not quite the same thing...

From what age? 16 year olds would get one at college, but if you don't go to college, don't drive, don't have a passport, how would you have an id card?
