Story: ID card database could double as voter register

Notice they're not bothing to pretend that it'll be voluntary any more...
So, the ID card is linked to the voting register, which (as another reader pointed out) gets linked to an e-voting system, and hey presto! Now the police can see how you voted..
"Vote Green did you sir? Would you mind emptying your pockets please sir?"
And stopping benefits/deporting anyone who doesn't vote - fantastic! - That'll be the elderly (Tory), disabled (LibDem), mentally ill (Tory), and anyone who just happens to be unable to get to the polls that day e.g. in hospital at the time of the election (added bonus - deport the lot and cut waiting lists for beds)...
Looks like Labor will be in power for some time to come... :(
