British Coup?
I'm afraid this is getting increasingly (and depressingly) familiar.
On fictional versions, there was a novel called "When the Kissing had to Stop", also televised, based on a left wing CND supporting government lead by a Bertrand Russell look alike, being duped and subverted by the Soviet Union.
Some points would be:
1/ Parliamentary democracy:...
2/ Imprisonment/house arrest of high-profile dissidents: ...
3/ Limited powers for the judiciary: ...
4/ Independent judiciary: Insofar as the judiciary maintained its powers, it would be relatively free to exercise those powers without fear or intimidation. ...
5/ Rule of law: The rule of law would be maintained. The laws might be authoritarian and unjust, however I think any authoritarian UK would still have police, etc, following the law. ...
