Re: Is there any chance

So what is the big problem [about getting an ID card], perhaps it's all about the two-party system and nothing else.

There would be no problem for me if the proposals were *only* about having an ID card. But the ID card was being proposed as a mechanism for tracking people 24/7 and as the basis for a unified database containing all your personal details in one place.
As soon as the law states that everyone must carry an ID card at all times, there will be reasons found why more and more services need to routinely see that ID card. So you will need to swipe your ID card to get served at a pub or buy rail ticket or enter a casino - etc. etc. And every swipe sends your location back to Big Brother where it is meticulously logged and kept forever. And you suddenly find your insurance premiums increase, or you are refused health treatment because the computer says your lifestyle is too unhealthy.
