Hi Dave:
You, and quite a few IPers, liked the Gilbert & Sullivan parody
attacking the proposals for a National ID Card scheme here in the UK
that I sent a few weeks ago - here's another one by the same authors,
this time based on the Wizard of Oz!

PS A somewhat related story in today's Guardian newspaper reveals
that the UK Government is abandoning plans for E-voting:
E-voting plans shelved after extensive trials

The Guardian
Plans to revive democracy by replacing ballot boxes with online e-
elections were abandoned by the government yesterday.
The constitutional affairs minister, Harriet Harman, used a written
parliamentary answer to announce the change of heart, after trials
of e-voting in local council elections showed systems were
expensive, unreliable and open to abuse.
