Mecky Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 It won't happen while they are in coalition with the LDs. It won't happen full stop. If people have to ask themselves why they shouldn't be really discussing the topic, the same goes for EU membership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Er, when trying to argue the the human rights act is not necessary that's kind of the wrong sort of logic to use. :loopy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Sidney Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 The Human Rights Act is too easily abused and the Conservatives-in their manifesto, promised to replace it with a "British Bill of Rights" that would still protect fundamental liberties but would be harder to use inappropriately. But it seems the plan may be put on the back-burner, aparently a "victim of the coalition" with the Libdems How long before the inevitable disquiet from Tory backbenchers when another equaly inevitable example of the HRA being abused arises? They'll do it when they win an overall majority after the next election...Hopefully... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 What, EU membership should never have happened? That's right, so far as concerns the UK. Mr Heath lied and, late in life, acknowledged his lies. But by a two-thirds majority in the 1975 Referendum, the voters believed him. I voted no!

Rupert_Baehr Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 It won't happen at all, no matter who is in power. It would be illegal for a Government to revoke the Act, so it is permanent and irrevocable. There is no such thing as a law which cannot be repealed by Parliament. [The Queen in] Parliament is the Sovereign lawmaker in the United Kingdom and can make or repeal any law it chooses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rupert_Baehr Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 ...But I hope that the odious HRA is repealed. The concept of human 'rights' is anathema to UK law which instead focusses on human obligations/duties ... How strange. The UK proposed the creation of the European Convention of Human Rights at the end of the second world war – largely at the suggestion of Winston Churchill. The Council was guided by British MP and lawyer Sir David Maxwell-Fyfe, the Chair of the Assembly's Committee on Legal and Administrative Questions. The UK signed up on 3 September 1953.

Jeffrey Shaw Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I don't think they can since the UK is in Europe and the HR Act is a European legislation. Wrong. The UK could exit from any European treaties and obligations that it has if it so wished. Right. No. The Act being discussed isn't. Right. Say it again: there is NO SUCH THING as 'international law'.
