Start a democratic public referendum for a digital ID.

The government should ask the people to choose if they agree to surrender liberty for a centralised digital ID card system. We should hold a democratic public referendum to get a real sense if the people really accepts the risks for the unapparent convenience.

Background
Centralised personal data is a major security risk. Carrying all of our personal data and banking details on the same device while phone crime is soaring is a recipe for disaster. The digital ID card cannot change anything the National insurance card and passports do already. The risk to reward ratio for this policy is too high.
