As David
Cameron steps down, a post-Brexit Prime Minister for the Tories accepts the
torch.
To fulfil
the last three years of Tories as big bosses, former Home Secretary Theresa May
takes the keys to Number 10.
To clarify
her controversial stances regarding the environment, surveillance and drugs,
Wired's Matt Burgess analyses the possible future of Britain under her command.
On
surveillance, Mrs May had under-success in changing surveillance methods available
to police forces, the GCHQ, and the MI5.
She plans
to publish the draft of the new Investigatory Powers Bill, which was published
in November 2015. According to Mrs May, the draft published is different from
the Communications Bill of 2012, which only added a few minor clauses without
actually fixing the issue of surveillance.
This would
mean that communication companies would store information about their consumers
and have legal powers to hack mobile phones and other gadgets without user
permission.
On the environment,
Mr Burgess speculates that Mrs May might not be the best candidate to reduce
the pollution and balding forestry in the country.
Mr Burgess'
research with information from TheyWorkForYou, Mrs May had voted against measures
that would have stopped climate changed. She in fact had voted to sell
England's state-owned forests for better economic measure.
On drugs,
the new Prime Minister had oversee the Psychoactive Substances Bill during her
time as Home Secretary. This allows authorities to seize and destroy any
psychoactive substances and obtain a warrant to search the homes of suspects possessing
or creating them.
