Why in your manifesto do you say, picking up on that point, that he would Rollback State Surveillance Powers . It is not that you dont want new powers, you want fewer . We are talking about the Snoopers Charter, data surveillance, however you want to describe it. This is the issue, when we are trying to deal with terrorists and suspected terrorists, we need to be able to focus on what they do and who they talk to. What we have at the moment, if you like, is an ever widening haystack and we are looking for a needle. The answer is not to put more hay into the haystack. It is to put more magnets around the haystack so we can find what is in there in the first place. So you dont want those powers, you want them rolled back .

And what we will have with the new administration in place. The reality is and looking at the house of representatives of the of budget of 30 billion debate with the defense hawks and speaker ryan to see that budget expressed in oco which is roughly 23 billion higher.
