“Consecutive governments”. So nothing to do with Marxist Totalitarianism then?
Given the government have been terrible with communications and formulating any kind of coherent plan and policy to date, I would say it’s more likely that this is because of clumsiness and poorly thought through ideas over clever plots to bring in tyranny, which would probably require a greater degree of competence than what we have witnessed. With the many u-turns and incoherence.
