clamping down on protest

What clamping down on protest? Charging violent thugs in the race riots last year? I wouldn’t count that. Protesting is different to rioting. Charging people for supporting a proscribed group? That’s fair enough. I’ve been to a number of pro Palestine protests, and nothing bad has happened. To the contrary, the government has been cutting ties with Israel and shifting towards Palestine.

population tracking via government issued ID cards

How? I don’t think a right to work check counts as tracking.

implemented draconian internet crackdown laws

Fair enough, the OSA is a bit crap. Unfortunately it has broad support, both from politicians and the public.

and won’t shut up about immigration

Like it or not, that’s what the electorate wants. And he’s here to govern the country, not just Labour supporters.

What happened to all of the good policies

Those have been getting implemented, but you don’t hear it in many headlines.

You will never have a government you agree with on every issue.

Even the government themselves will have to do things they don’t want to do, either for parliamentary, media, or electorate support, or things like fiscal reality. Unfortunate, but that’s the real world.
