> Then you have that horrible idea with mandatory digital id.

As the plan stands, the only case where it would be mandatory is for employment. The extension to right to rent is under consultation. I strongly recommend reading more on the Digital ID framework - it isn't as the press and influencers have led most people imagine. For instance there isn't a single id, there's no central database and government's role is only as a passive reference and legislator. I was opposed to the idea when I first heard about it, but won over by its sensible structure, which will actually strengthen citizens.
