About this Event
Supporters say compulsory ID could make Britain safer. It would help stop fraud, crime, and illegal immigration while making it easier to prove who you are when voting, travelling, or using public services. For many, it represents order, protection, and trust in a modern society.
Opponents warn it could threaten privacy and freedom. They fear it gives the government too much power and risks turning Britain into a surveillance state. Personal data could be hacked, misused, or used to target certain groups, making safety feel more like control.
Where do you stand on the issue of compulsory ID in the UK?
Have your say, and join the debate!
Join the debate on the motion: This House Would Welcome Compulsory ID Cards in the UK.
During the first half of the meeting, there will be an improvised mini-debate session, where anyone may get called to defend or oppose a motion in 2 minutes (voluntarily, of course).
During the main debate, 3 debaters will propose the motion, 3 debaters will oppose it, and YOU may give your opinion during Floor Contributions.
The meeting will be held on the first floor of the Windsor Castle pub in Victoria, a beautiful Victorian pub with great food, drinks and reasonable prices. Make sure to give the code word: Debate Club!
