Whilst I'll be glad to see the back of her, I don't share your optimism. Ms Smith didn't come up with the idea for ID cards and they won't dissappear with her. Whoever follows will implement them just the same. The only light on the horizon is that come next May Labour will be out of power. With them will go ID cards and the National ID Register. In the meantime I hope we can somehow stall the MAN/LCY schemes.
