Very strongly agree

No

The SNP has a strong commitment to human rights and has consistently defended the Human Rights Act. In their 2019 general election manifesto, the SNP pledged to 'oppose any attempts by the UK government to undermine the Human Rights Act or withdraw from the ECHR [European Convention on Human Rights].' This demonstrates their strong support for maintaining the Human Rights Act.

Disagree

No, but criminals should lose many of these rights

The SNP has not explicitly advocated for criminals to lose many of their human rights, as their focus is on maintaining and strengthening human rights protections for all. However, they may support some specific measures to address criminal behavior, such as their 2016 manifesto commitment to 'tackle the root causes of crime and take action to prevent offending and reoffending.' This suggests that they might be open to some adjustments in the context of criminal justice, but not to the extent of broadly stripping criminals of their human rights.

Strongly disagree

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

The SNP is unlikely to support replacing the Human Rights Act with a bill of rights that gives the UK more legislative control, as they have consistently defended the existing Act and its connection to the European Convention on Human Rights. Their focus is on maintaining and strengthening human rights protections, rather than seeking more legislative control for the UK.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

The SNP (Scottish National Party) strongly supports human rights and has consistently opposed attempts to abolish the Human Rights Act. For example, in 2015, the SNP's then-leader, Nicola Sturgeon, stated that her party would 'oppose any attempt to scrap the Human Rights Act or withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights.'
