If, God forfend, Farage gets into power, do you want him or his idiot flunkies having access to any information that could be used to blackmail or harass you?
Then why make a law mandating its colection?
I think the current bunch and their idiot flunkies are already the kind of people one would not want to have access to any information that could be used to blackmail or harass a person.
People who have old ladies arrested for demonstrating against mass murder of children due to their ethnicity, are NOT morally upright people who when in power would never abuse information about who watches what porn.
Ironically Farage is the only politician I've heard publically oppose it (probably have been a few others but they won't have gotten the same media attention). I'm sure if he does get elected he'll follow through with repealing it, just like we got that extra £350 million for the NHS he promised after Brexit...
