This is a battle (at least in the UK) against a national database which records information about every citizen.
This is not about ID Cards per se. ID Cards are mearly the enabler for the governments to track their citizens.
How would you feel if everything about you was stored on a government database and accessible to officials (and whoever else has the technology to read the RFID in the cards) at a whim?
This battle is NOT about the ID cards. It is about the principle that we are all entitled to freedom and privacy.
