Hold a referendum on introducing mandatory identity cards in the UK

We urge the Government to hold a referendum on any proposal to introduce identity cards, including the proposed “BritCard.” We oppose the implementation of a mandatory national identity card system, as we believe it could risk turning personal identification into a tool for state control.

We urge the Government and Parliament to continue to allow freedom of speech and freedom of movement which are protected under the Human Rights Act 1998, which incorporates rights from the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) into domestic law. We believe the “BritCard” could contravene this.
