This has had me confused too.
If you were playing the "guess which side the parties are on" game, you'd expect the Cons to be on the side of "tell us everything about every minute detail of your life, or we'll throw you in jail", and the Libs and DPs to be on the side saying, "you can't do that, it violates people's rights to privacy".
Since it appears that no one asked the Conservatives to make this change, and so many people are up in arms about it, can anyone fill me in on exactly why this change was made?
