Message | The identity card within the Empire is to important to get rid of. Not only is it a source of I.D. but it also acts as: Drivers licence, Passport, Library Card, Medical and donors card. National Insurance and benefits card. The cost of replacing each of these services with a separate card for over 100million citizens would be astronomical. Moreover, the card has been issued without break for almost 500 years without complaint or issue. Why change that now? |

Message | I guess the "required to carry them at all times" is an obligation that makes some of the parties worry. |

Message | If that is a worry then why not merely remove the obligation and keep the card in use? |
