It'd be the same wasteful spending but £6k tuition fees instead of £9k, slower privatisation of education and health, and at least they U-turn on stupidity like this when pressured. They basically already had these powers so I don't expect much effect but really they shouldn't have any right to it except by getting a property search warrant. Everyone with something to hide is using encrypted communications anyway so this won't affect them - maybe it'll increase successful prosecutions by somewhere in the single-digit range? |
You mean the Labour that introduced central database after central database? Or the Labour that was persuing national ID cards?
The problem is that, on the most fundamental level, Labour and Conservative are the same party. They both believe that Government is the solution to all our problems, just in slightly different ways. Liberal Democrats are just the same, and Greens/BNP are also for more Government. The only real different party is UKIP... but even they just want to remove the tyrants from Brussels, to give more power to the tyrants in Westminster.
