A YouGov plc poll of 1,765 adults in the UK discovered the following based on the question.

"The Government is proposing identity cards costing around £5billion. What do you think the money should be spent on?"

ID cards as planned 15%
Cutting the basic rate of income tax by 1p for one year 19%
Increasing the state pension by £8 a week for one year 36%
None of these 24%
Don’t know 5%

How long before the Government realises that no one but them wants this scheme?

Ram.
