I think you'll find it is the totally inept Labour government that badly infects their projects not the other way around.

ID cards are only of any use if, when being asked for it you have to provide a fingerprint check which has to be done against a central database and not info on the card itself. To do otherwise, would mean that the ID card becomes just another easily forged piece of plastic. Imagine the queues of people waiting to get on a bus who have to provide a valid fingerprint scan.

If Non-EU citizens can get away with not having to provide valid documentation at the moment, they can easily get away with not having to provide an ID card of any sort.
