bugging MP's

Tony wants to bug MP's. Why exactly are they surprised? New Labour has repeatedly extended survence powers over everybody else, or did they think this was another case of one law for the rulers and another for the ruled. Perhaps is it just the stress of work overcoming Tony (after all doesn't he look tired?) and his parnoia has finally got the better of him, as Longrider says:

This has the delicious tang of paranoia about it. The paranoia of a fascist megalomaniac who is clinging to power despite everyone else just wishing he would do the decent thing and go - and go quickly.
