UK government to give the people a right to vote on Digital IDs.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Give the people of the united kingdom the right to choose whether they want a digital ID when the majority of people already carry some form of ID.
A simple YES or NO vote let the people decide
We want the right to vote in a democracy and not be ignored by a government who doesn't want to allow people to have there say on the matter.
We don't live in a communist society the last time I checked we had freedom of speech, if a government is in a position of power it is supposed to listen to and do the bidding of the people.
