They have one but it only works well when the voters are of a sufficiently high education. Most people in the UK support their surveillance state (or so I'm told).

I'm from Belfast, UK. I would much rather live with a 'terrorist' threat than this obvious invasion of privacy cloaked behind fear mongering. CCTV can be ok to have in inner cities for security reasons, but coming into peoples homes and every aspect of there personal life is a travesty!

Next up: MP's exempt themselves and all government from compliance to any laws. Just like US Congress does, only a little more so.
