Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards
We demand that the UK Government immediately commits to not introducing a digital ID cards. There are reports that this is being looked at.

Did you know that since Scotland was promised 'more powers' if we voted No to independence in 2014, Westminster has actually stripped more than two dozen key powers from Holyrood and overruled devolved decisions made by the Scottish Government 13 times.
