We want the government to give our population the right to decide if we are to leave the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). We think it is antiquated and not fit for the current world we live in.

We want it to be replaced with a British Court of Human Rights. We think the government should give the British population the right to choose what matters to our people in our country and what our rules on human rights should be.

Government response

Leaving the ECHR and the Court would be a costly, self-defeating move, undermining vital security agreements. Reforming it for today’s challenges is smarter than wasting £129m on a referendum.
