If Brexit hadn't happened, I would've tried to keep campaigning against the Investigatory Powers Act (that lets the Welsh Ambulance Service see which domains you've visited without a warrant).
I figured Brexit would make it impossible to undo; I think in retrospect I was right for the wrong reasons — I thought the rhetoric of Brexit would only be satisfied by also taking the UK out of all international human rights courts and treaties, rather than it would require 150% of all available political focus from basically everyone in the country.
