ID cards: where now and what does it mean?

Excerpt: This post by Steve Guy got me thinking. Labour are now determined to press on with ID cards, regardless of the views of their opponents. The Tory cave-in (MatGB has a round-up of the heroes and villains of the piece) has demonstrated their lack of commitment to opposing them. This piece at ConservativeHome gives the impression, not backed up by hard quotes, that this is some cunning ploy to postpone the battle until the next general election, where voters will be given a clear choice - vote Labour in and get ID cards, vote them out and (presumably?) don't.

Not true - it is a time-honoured convention that the contents of the Government's manifesto should not be defeated by the Lords. The Tories have used the Lords very well to ensure that the final say is not taken before the people have chance to have another say at an election.
