I have no issue with ID cards, I've lived with them for about 15 years now in Finland and Hong Kong.
However, I do strongly object to them being called a "Brit Card."

Can you have a "Meh" option please?

That's what I put option 4 in for.

Sorry, missed the 'no' option. Now added.

This feels like one of those political surveys after which someone will scream "No respondents opposed the plan".
Also shows the problems of trolling and ignoring.
I think starting a thread does breach trolling etiquette though. If that's allowed, it is too easy to wind people up. Shooting sitting ducks and all that.

Apologies due for missing the option, now amended. Votes can also be changed, if someone was forced into an other option.

I have no strong feelings about it. I can see advantages and disadvantages, but at this stage there is no detail on how it will work.

Don't talk about birds of the feathered kind. They're becoming quite rare in the UK.

Oops, sorry @AndyRM. Though this one has more options, which I think makes it more useful for gauging where we are.
Related to ID cards (and intrusiveness), I was surprised that during the pandemic people switched on location and bluetooth on the NHS app to tell you if you'd been near someone with covid. Not only on the intrusiveness of actually tracking you in real time, but then the need to isolate if you had been near someone with covid (and the govt knew you had, even if the other side of a window).
