"Labour making a come back I hear, [...]"
Unfortunately they will do the same as May on this issue. Their new support is down to the perceived self-interest of segments of the electorate. Labour have not opposed this sort of thing in the past. They have previously proposed even bigger inroads into human rights eg 90 day detention without trial and ID cards.
The fact that the Labour leadership is now "left wing" rather than "centre-right" will probably increase the tendency to totalitarian measures. Idealists who have long thirsted for the levers of power soon get frustrated when their aims are being opposed by "reactionaries". The leadership is likely to resort to the position on many issues with "the end justifies the means".
Given the way the FPTP system operates then a hung Parliament is not unthinkable.
