Re: Policy suggestion
Quote: "What the opposition (Con/Lib) could do, is state upfront that, if elected, they will instantly void all contracts for ID card suppliers, with *no* compensation."
The following article:
file:///home/bd/Politics/Identity%20Cards/%20Tories%20warn%20firms%20bidding%20for%20ID%20card%20scheme:%20'We%20will%20scrap%20the%20whole%20idea'.htm
states that the Conservatives:
"wrote to Sir Gus O'Donnell, the Cabinet Secretary, giving formal notice that an incoming Conservative government would scrap the project.
It has also warned firms bidding to run the ID card scheme that their contracts would be cancelled shortly after a Tory election win."
I would ask, nay, beg anyone who does not usually vote to use it to defeat this disgraceful legislation - if ID cards can be defeated, it will be the greatest gift you can give to yourself, your children and all future generations in this country.
