Hold a referendum to decide if the UK should leave the ECHR.
We ask the government to arrange a public referendum on the UK’s membership in the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). This referendum could allow UK citizens to determine if we should continue adhering to the ECHR or establish independent human rights standards.
We think that a referendum on the ECHR could give the British public a voice in deciding the UK’s human rights framework. We feel that the ECHR, while established to protect fundamental rights, increasingly influences UK policy and limits our control over key national matters, such as immigration and security. We think an independent framework could enable the UK to craft policies that reflect its unique legal and cultural values, safeguarding both individual rights and national interests in a balanced way.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
