I'm not aware of British people rioting in the streets over living in a society with multiple cameras on every corner of every street, where police knock on your front door based on social media posts. They seem to accept it, even welcome it. If the people were strongly against the Snooper's Charter there would be politicians willing to stand against it. The parties do not impose their will on the people, they do and say what they must to gain and keep power.
