I think you'll be surprised what a government can accomplish when it really tries.

Being able to make laws helps with that.

Laws still have to respect the rights of the people, no? I’m not well versed in UK law, but the US, the legislature can’t just make a law making criticism of the government illegal because it’s a violation of our First Amendment right to free speech.
