Strongly agree

Yes, replace it with a bill of rights that gives the UK more legislative control

The Conservative party has historically been in favor of replacing the Human Rights Act with a British Bill of Rights that would give the UK more legislative control. This was a key part of their 2015 manifesto, and although it has not been pursued with strong conviction, it remains a popular idea within the party. This would allow the UK to have more control over its own human rights legislation, rather than being bound by the European Court of Human Rights.

Agree

No, but criminals should lose many of these rights

There is a significant portion of the Conservative party that believes criminals should lose many of their human rights protections. This sentiment has been expressed by various party members over the years, including former Prime Minister Theresa May, who in 2011 argued that the Human Rights Act should be scrapped to prevent criminals from using it to avoid deportation. However, this view is not universally held within the party, and some members may be more moderate on this issue.

As mentioned earlier, the 2015 manifesto included a pledge to scrap the Act, indicating that the party as a whole leans more towards reform or replacement than maintaining the status quo.
