Of course, census should be taken as often as realistically possible, how is government supposed to govern the country without them!
But, I think UK Government should be far more open about how census are conducted because I have never had to fill in papers or forms, for any census, despite being born and brought up in the UK. I have voted in every General election, from the age of 18 and yet I still have no idea where the information for the census comes from. How is the British census taken!?!
