Disenfranchisement

Sounds a lot like the last mission creep effort at ID cards. One thing overlooked back then, and probably any future attempt, was British citizens who live abroad (though Brexit may decimate them). Typically they will not get any ID cards based on NHS entitlement, but official ID cards would quickly become the natural form of ID for a whole range of items, as would suspicion of anyone who does not possess one.
