Strongly agree

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

UKIP has advocated for the UK to have more control over its laws and borders, criticizing the Human Rights Act for hindering this control. They have supported the idea of replacing the Human Rights Act with a UK Bill of Rights, which would ostensibly allow the UK to tailor its human rights protections in a way that aligns with its national interests and legislative autonomy.

Agree

No, but criminals should lose many of these rights

While UKIP has not explicitly stated that criminals should lose many of their human rights, their tough stance on crime and immigration suggests a sympathy towards policies that would restrict the rights of individuals convicted of crimes. However, this position is more nuanced and has not been a central part of their platform, leading to a moderate score.

Disagree

Yes

UKIP has historically focused on sovereignty and immigration control, criticizing the Human Rights Act for limiting the UK's ability to control its borders. However, outright abolition without a replacement that ensures some level of protection for individual rights might not align perfectly with their stance, as they have also supported the idea of a UK Bill of Rights.

Strongly disagree

No

UKIP has been critical of the Human Rights Act, particularly in the context of it being seen as an impediment to the UK's ability to enact its laws and control immigration. Their platform has often emphasized the need for the UK to have greater sovereignty over its legal system, which they argue is compromised by the Act.
