Call for a Referendum. Let the country decide on Digital ID Cards.

I want the Government to allow a Referendum on whether to implement Digital ID Cards to the mass public. Labour did not publish this in their Manifesto and Sir Keir Starmer, before last year’s General Election, pledged not introduce this system.

The introduction of Digital ID Cards has the potential for great restrictions on or misuse regarding freedoms and rights of the mass public. There must be a Referendum to introduce such a restrictive system that may have negative and life changing results for everyone.
