Isn't UK a democracy? Why then have the people not rejected the initiative? Ah, right - they haven't even been asked.

Much of the issue with western democracies is that people assume consistently within their politicians.

A pro surveillance party should also address crime. If someone sees crime as a big issue then they will be for the surveillance.

Unfortunately what actually happens is that the surveillance is used to track anti government sentiment, while the crime is not any more prioritised than before the surveillance.
