It's not just IT specific. It's human rights/freedoms issues. But then the UK doesn't have much of a constitution that would be protected from simple parliament majorities IIRC?

@project1enigma @alexanderdyas @hypolite @mullvadnet the ECHR is relatively enshrined in so much as, yes, a simple majority could abandon it, but doing so would unravel a lot of other things and generally blow up relations with basically all of Europe except maybe Russia, so your have to be utterly off your rocker to try that. The three largest parties by polling all want to either tear up or substantially undermine the ECHR. Don't think any constitutional setup would protect us at this point…
