How keen are the Conservative grassroots on scrapping ID cards?

Not very, if the “Scrap ID cards” campaign on MyConservatives.com is anything to go by. At the time of writing, it has raised only £100 towards its £5,000 target and got the signatures of just 46 people.

Oh, and no – it’s not a new campaign that has only just been added. Indeed, from the statistics on the embedded YouTube film, the campaign looks to have been there since 28 September, which makes it one third of a signature per day.

UPDATE: Good thing the Liberal Democrats stuck with prioritising the scrapping of the mandatory national ID cards scheme, keeping up a proud tradition of the party opposing such schemes.
