This reaches further than the UK has implemented over the last five years. The Tories have done most of this under other guises. To give a single person this level of power is the most dangerous thing a country can do. It is currently abused on a huge scale in the UK. We have the most dishonest government ever in our history imo. They abuse the offices they are in control of. Trump is looking to gain the same level of powers.
Giving government control of the media is callously stupid. There is no truth in UK media anymore. They only report on things that keep the government in a good light. The problem of Brexit is that no one will admit to the truth about it. This would mean the government is brought under the spotlight for its failings, and rather than stand up to the issue, everything is just never spoken of. It has taken seven years just to get the problem of Brexit mentioned. And still no one wants to resolve it, that is either in government or opposition. The main opponents of the issues around Brexit are from the minor parties.
The government took over our Electoral commission. We have have a government department that is only ever used for political gain. They will investigate other parties, but are not allowed to look into things concerned with the people in power now. There was an order not to look into Russian intervention with the Brexit referendum itself. Public funds are abused for political campaigns. Standards are just held up anymore.
Governments need accountability. Without it they run amok in an effort to hold onto their own positions. This leads to rabbit holes that are difficult to get out of. Corruption runs out of control. Lobbyist find it very easy to buy out legislation which is never good for the population at large.
All of this comes under the light of the infamous page 48 of the 2019 tory manifesto. Please learn from the mistakes that have happened in the UK and never allow a government to push this sort of agenda.
