Christmas Tree 4821 Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 After a few hours contemplation I have come to the conclusion that Cameron will win the next election, remain PM and be able to govern without the lib dems. Reasoning 1. No one wants Red Ed 2. Even UKIP members are desperate for a vote on Europe and will return to the flock when it matters. 3. Lib Dems will be hoofed for their treachery. 4. Public trusts the Torys more with finances and I'm sure they'll have lots of proper policies to unveil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a benchmark I feel reducing human rights cannot be a good thing. The Tories will spin it as backlash against stupid judges decisions. When in reality they will use it as a backdoor to reduce human rights legislation in the work place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 31195 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 We had human rights before the ECHR and we'll have a codified set of HR should be chose to leave. My question was what case law has the ECHR introduced that has improved life in Britain? Again, I'm not saying that it hasn't, I'm just interested in finding out what it is.

I'm getting the feeling that this won't have much of an effect on the UK either way, it looks to be pure pandering to potential UKIP voters.

Meenzer 15716 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 That's arguably as much of a problem in many respects, it reframes the term "human rights" in the mind of impressionable/thick people as something to be wary of/sneered at, and all because the Tories are having a bit of a panic attack because of a defection or two. (Well, that and the fact that the UKIP vote will cost them the next election, which I suppose is more understandable. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
