As mentioned earlier, the Labour party introduced the Human Rights Act in 1998 and has consistently supported its existence. They believe in the protection of human rights and the importance of the Act in upholding these rights within the UK. For example, in their 2019 general election manifesto, they pledged to 'protect and extend people's rights' and maintain the Human Rights Act.

Disagree

No, but criminals should lose many of these rights

While the Labour party is generally supportive of the Human Rights Act, they have shown some willingness to consider changes to the way it is applied in specific cases, such as in relation to terrorism or serious crimes. However, they have not advocated for a blanket removal of rights for criminals. Their position is more nuanced, focusing on balancing the rights of individuals with the need to protect society and maintain public safety.

Disagree

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

The Labour party has not shown significant support for replacing the Human Rights Act with a bill of rights that gives the UK more legislative control. Their focus has been on maintaining and strengthening the existing Act. However, some individual Labour politicians may have expressed support for such a move, but it is not a mainstream position within the party.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

The Labour party has historically been a strong supporter of human rights and the Human Rights Act. They were the party that introduced the Act in 1998 under Tony Blair's government. Abolishing the Human Rights Act would go against their core values and principles.
