Well, I can confidently predict that none of the current government have the wit or wherewithal to get off before it's way too late*. Of course, it'll be our money, out of general taxation, that pays for the think-tanks and implementation boards, and for any pilot programme if it ever takes place before failing abjectly.

Meanwhile, in the real world, "digitalisation" is driven by identifiable needs, benefits, and written use-cases.

*This is easily demonstrated by pointing out that they were all pretty much hand-selected at the last election under two criteria: a slavish loyalty towards Boris Johnson, and an unerring belief in the brexit unicorn, both of which are things that have demonstrably contributed to the current execrable state of this country and its economy.
