So how keen are the Conservative grassroots on scrapping ID cards?

Not very, if the “Scrap ID cards” campaign on MyConservatives.com is anything to go by. At the time of writing, it has raised only £100 towards its £5,000 target and got the signatures of just 46 people.

Oh, and no – it’s not a new campaign that has only just been added. Indeed, from the statistics on the embedded YouTube film, the campaign looks to have been there since 28 September, which makes it one third of a signature per day.

How many of the “Conservative grassroots” are on MyConservatives.com and aware of the existence of an anti-ID-card thing there? That’s like reading things into the size of groups on ACT…

Pretty spurious this.

There hasn’t been a drive for people to sign up to that group since Oct – and the drive was to join it. It’s been very successful on that metric, as it’s the second most popular group on the whole site. The fundraising and petition elements have just been added on to it.
