It's not just an idea; it was the way it was. The "servant" governed with the consent of the people under threat of being ousted to make way for a more popular party if it did not. Do you trust this government? Do you think future governments will be trustworthy? Do you?

Pretty sure it was down to there no longer being a state of emergency, therefore no legal requirement for ID cards.
Had the government been able to show there was still a state of emergency, then ID cards would have continued to be legally required.
