#no2echr

So after my piece on Wednesday about the ECHR, I thought I’d reiterate why scrapping it is a good idea.

I mentioned the two main reasons in my last article;

It puts control of the content of that law back into our hands. This is fundamentally why I disagree with the whole EU experiment and want us to leave – I want the ability to elect people who will make the laws that govern me.

More reasons why the ECHR is an abomination #No2ECHR #No2EU #VoteUKIP
