Meanwhile, why are the Conservatives so far ahead in UK opinion polls? Does anyone really think they would have kept us out of recession by putting stricter controls on the banking industry? Kept us out of Iraq? I'm starting to think they might be a slight improvement on civil rights and privacy issues, but I wouldn't bet on it.

I believe the Tories probably will cancel the ID system. But then I also suspect if Labour did manage a miracle and stay in they'd spot that it was an expensive thing that many people would be happy to see cancelled and let that override not wanted to be seen to climb down on it.
On the wider front, I'll wait and see.
