The new Prime Minister Theresa May does not hold any principles that would place limits on the powers of the government. She was a well known "champion of the snoopers charter," (wiki) when she was home secretary. There is a british tendency to be overbearing authoritarians that provides fuel to their various secession movements. Britain is unlikely to maintain its current borders for many years after Brexit.

This is why opposition exists. If only the were doing their job, instead of fighting amongst themselves.

It's not IMO a British tendency but instead a tendency of the British upper classes as they feel they are superior in every way to the lower classes and so deserve superior rights and freedoms .. and once the EU is out of the way they'll be able to get rid of the convention on human rights and return things to their former glory.

Next year I hear May is going to bring in a child tax where if you have more than one child and don't sell the extra ones in to serfdom you have to pay an additional 50% income tax on income up to the first £32k. /s
