Electronic Identity Card
The Electronic Identity Card verify the holder’s identity, during administrative procedures at public offices or in any situation that requires identitywww.cartaidentita.interno.gov.it
You can do a lot of procedures electronically (from school enrollment of your children, to obtaining a birth certificate)...
In Estonia they even vote this way since 2001:
Interesting feature: they can change their vote as much as they want until the election day, only the last choice counts.Electronic voting in Estonia - Wikipedia

I don't think an electronic ID adds that much to the existing surveillance, you already have Cambridge Analytica and similar companies in UK...
You're already surveilled, and those private companies are worse than any government, since they are not bound by the same legal procedures to protect your data...
I'm not sure how the IDs stop immigration, we have both legal and illegal immigration, and digital IDs lol
We have to be careful with terms like left leaning. Keir Starner is a centrist.Laying the groundwork for a Nigel Farage Prime Minstership to implement increasingly authoritarian measures.
An under-reported aspect of recent history is how left leaning governments help create circumstances that right wing governments later exploit. Like democratic administrations laying down the groundwork for what Joseph McCarthy would later exploit in the Red Scare.
