“The Liberal Platform votes no. This is the second attempt at compulsory national identification in Wëlstere's short history, and our answer has not changed: Wëlsterers who want an ID card can already get one voluntarily; making it mandatory only forces those who value staying unregistered to carry state papers, with no new benefit to show for it. The independent police oversight body in Article 2 is a reform we genuinely support — in fact, it is already part of our own Police Accountability and Due Process Act, soon to come before this Chamber on its own merits. We won't accept good policy bundled with bad as a package deal when we can deliver the good policy ourselves, cleanly.”
Public Trust Act of 2024
Rationale
