Why the UK-ECHR Issue is Just There to Spite UKIP



It is obvious that the Conservatives have a particular disliking for UKIP because of its very radical ideas. The government is clearly planning to dull the UKIP’s edges by doing many of the things it intends to do for the public once it gains seating.

One of them is the issue of scrapping the human rights provisions for criminals and terrorists in the United Kingdom.

The UK had longed to deport terrorists and war criminals from the country, but previous cases of the European Centre for Human Rights (ECHR) is limiting the autonomous decisions of the UK High Court. The UKIP had promised the UK that these human rights provisions will not be enforced by the ECHR by completely disconnecting the ECHR’s previous rulings with the UK’s legal decisions.

Conservative party member and Justice Secretary Chris Grayling had put forward a proposal, seen by ex-Attorney General Dominic Grieve as “basically erroneous,” will ensure the ECHR’s previous rulings and human rights provisions for criminals will be treated as advice rather than a staple for the rulings.

However, I think that if the Conservatives really wanted what the people wanted from the UKIP, they would just severe the ties completely and do away with being in Europe. It was as if Grayling just wanted to spite the UKIP for some reason.

Well, the Conservatives are lagging behind Labour and the Liberal Democrats. However, if they want to smear images, they better do better than that.
