I wonder if they'll think, well, other countries manage without, why do we need it? But the UK doesn't necessarily have what those countries do. Sweden doesn't need a census because it forces everyone to register their address and family relationships with the central government within 7 days of those changing. The UK by contrast has many disparate single-purpose databases which do not form a coherent whole.
