Hmmm.
I remember protesting against ID cards when Blair pursued them. Nowadays... I'm not sure how I feel. It'd certainly be convenient, especially in the age of voter ID.
My general view of government has changed too. I don't view government as an adversary anymore; rather I want government to do more and be better at it.
But then, the threat of the far right looms. I would fear a slide toward authoritarianism with them in power 🤔
