> I don't think you really want a world where the security services can overrule the elected government, rather than the other way round. Well said, and excellent point.

As I understand it that fits the actual job description for all parties. A world in which public servants are adversaries, in which intra- and inter-institutional trust has totally broken down seems to be the fruits of the misadventure, over-reach and disrespect for the Rule of Law in all quarters.
