A national identification system is a standardized ID system that provides a unique identification number or card to all citizens, which can be used to verify identity and access various services. Proponents argue that it enhances security, streamlines identification processes, and helps prevent identity fraud. Opponents argue that it raises privacy concerns, could lead to increased government surveillance, and may infringe on individual freedoms.

The systems we already have, such as passports, driving licence and national insurance number should be bolstered to enhance security
@9Q23Y7V8mos8MO
I feel that many forms of identification already exist that facilitate these systems. Will investigate further
@B38MXY32wks2W
No, this question is too inherently vague on the details of what this could mean and could be twisted
@B2V2NVQ1mo1MO
For banking and other economic reasons, absolutely, but for doing simple things like buying food would be ludicrous and an overreach of power.
@9ZW79RV3mos3MO
Yes but an independent agency will be able to monitor the government to prevent misuse of the national identification system
@9ZH2VY34mos4MO
More details needed. If we got issued a photo I'd with out NI number that would be helpful. But I DO NOT think that people should be required to present I'd any more than they already are
@9ZCDW2L4mos4MO
It wouldn't work. The people of this country are already treated as criminals. We are, for example, all treated as money launderers, unable to even pay cash into our own accounts or those of our family. We are subjected to so many checks, when the actual money launderers are getting away with everything!
@9YJ5H5P4mos4MO
Yes, but only if it includes strict data privacy protections, independent oversight, and clear limitations on its use
