Strongly agree

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

The DUP has expressed support for replacing the Human Rights Act with a British Bill of Rights that would give the UK more legislative control. In their 2017 General Election Manifesto, the DUP stated that they would 'work to ensure that a new UK-wide Bill of Rights is introduced to replace the Human Rights Act.' This indicates a strong preference for this option.

Agree

No, but criminals should lose many of these rights

The DUP has not explicitly advocated for criminals to lose many of their human rights, but they have expressed concerns about the current system's impact on victims and public safety. In 2016, the DUP's Sir Jeffrey Donaldson criticized the Human Rights Act for allowing a convicted murderer to avoid deportation, arguing that it prioritized the rights of criminals over victims. This suggests that the DUP may be open to limiting the rights of criminals under certain circumstances.
