The Conservatives are Retards

It’s been common knowledge for a while now that the Conservatives want to scrap the European Human Rights Act and replace it with a British Bill of Rights.
Whatever pretence they use to try and justify this, it should be clear to most people that they’re just jumping on a bandwagon here.

The Conservatives are supporting this idea because of a few well-publicised cases where the Human Rights Act has been made to look foolish (while ignoring the majority of cases where it works well).

It seems unlikely to me that a British human rights act would function any differently to a European one. In my opinion, any human rights legislation that tries to be comprehensive is inevitably going to be manipulated at some point along the line, and a Bill of Rights would be no exception. I fail to see how this could be avoided, and to date the Conservatives haven’t explained it either.

The only way a Conservative government (or any other government for that matter) can ensure that no decisions fly in the face of public opinion would be to intervene every time one comes up. Which would be heavily unconstitutional.

The Director of Public Prosecutions, Keir Starmer, suggested that getting rid of the Convention would be irresponsible, and put forward several good reasons why not (Source). Interestingly, the Conservatives responded by suggesting he be sacked (Source). Genius.

Please, don’t vote Conservative...
(Not that I support Labour, of course)
