What the petition asks
We the public have spoken but the government refuses to listen. If the government insist on going ahead with the "digital ID cards" then we the public demand that the government give us the opportunity to vote on whether we want it or not
We live in a democracy and we should be allowed to vote on the matter, this will affect the public so the public should be alowed to vote.
