trouble is they aren’t dealing with the issue, which is the widespread corruption and fraud within the public institutions and the ones who pay for it are the rest normal citizens, all under the banner of security etc.
It’s beyond belief that people can’t see through it.

I don't think many of them, if not most of them, have even bothered to try to understand what these unprecedented undemocratic sweeping financial surveillance powers would entail, leave alone the gravity of their punitive consequences, including creating a second-tier justice system for people on the poverty line, undermining the presumption of innocence, resulting in serious mistakes, and risking the freedoms and funds of the society's elderly, disabled and poor, to start with.
As Jeremy Paxman discussed it in his outstanding book (The Political Animal), they're political animals who are in politics only for themselves and no one else. Most of them do not represent anyone but themselves, and thus do not care about others.

To be honest with you, it's only since the past two days that I've been paying attention to the scale of threats of this unprecedented system of mass financial surveillance. Prior to this period, to me, it was not a big deal, as I didn't spend time in understanding it. How wrong I was!

but you aren’t an MP. They are meant to SERVE the public regardless of the party they belong to.
IF THEY DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS TO SERVE OTHERS, THEY SHOULD GET ANOTHER JOB.

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't talking about me in reflection with them at all. I was just speaking about myself. I was trying to say that many people, including many people on this very forum, haven't got an insight into the draconian scale of this proposal.
Of course, those MPs and Peers have no excuse whatsoever. it's their job for which they're paid not only to understand these issues, but also scrutinise them, as they vote on them and decide on behalf of millions of people who haven't even been consulted.

our only hope now is for a member of the public or a freedom rights organisation to take this to a tribunal once it comes into effect.
