I wish you were right about things changing but I don't think Reform will be much different. They're the usual flip-flopping conservatives who make an appearance of conserving yesterday's progressivism (and failing) instead of doing anything meaningful or undoing all the damage that was done over the previous generations.
I mostly agree about Reform but on Digital ID it's 50/50 whether they'd remove it in office.
The factors that might push them to remove is that A LOT of their members including Farage have been on the negative recieving end to even debanking attempts.
The other is just how popular it is to get rid of it so ego might make him do something that essentially, is easy yet popular to do.
The problem is that digital ID can be implemented behind the scenes and then people will barely notice and it wouldn't affect Reform if they allowed that to happen. It is in fact already the plan to turn existing IDs into digital IDs by forcing employers to digitally verify IDs through the government. Farage having personally suffered from something doesn't mean he will be against it. Look at Trump and FISA.

Yeah, reform is controlled opposition. Restore hopefully isn't.
