Swedish ID system seems pretty great. Never had any of my family there complain about it, and it just seems to make a lot of life easier.
The issue I see with the UK's plan is it that so far everything the government is talking about is how it will stop illegal working, and that just seems like a reaction to reform's recent rise in polls. That by itself seems like a waste, because people working cash in hand surely won't be bothered by this new requirement.
I think it should go further so it actually becomes useful. Things like having people's benefit status accessible at pharmacies to prevent people simply saying "I don't pay for my prescription" (still blows my mind this is a thing).
What has the UK done to make you think it is becoming one of the most authoritarian advanced economies?
