I found the report useful, though. I've been having to guess what that end of the right has in mind but it's nice to have it from the horse's mouth. It helped me make up my mind on the issue. The thing for me, is that if you start talking about leaving all these conventions and treaties, then you tacitly admit they are supreme. You are stating that it is necessary for us to leave in order to restore British sovereignty. I don't think this way any more. Parliament is sovereign and as it's elected, it's legitimate in ways foreign and domestic judges are not. As as such, all that is necessary is for a British government to assert its legitimacy over international law and for parliament to assert its sovereignty by acting as ti sees fit. That's the end of it. Look at Israel. There are countless rulings and resolutions against them and you don't see them grovelling for forgiveness. There comes a point where a democratic state simply has to assert a few basic facts of life. Whatever the intent of the ECHR, it was not intended to facilitate mass illegal immigration, and if, through obsolescence, that's what it's actually doing, along with the respective non-refoulement conventions, then any elected government has an obligation to ignore it. We just need a PM to say "We're elected, you're not, we're doing this thing, fuck you". If, then, anyone's got a problem with that, let them take their best shot. If the EU finds our deportation laws unsatisfactory, let them sanction us. If they want to suspend parts of the TCA, let them. If the ECHR wants to chuck us out of the Council of Europe, then let them. But I'm betting they won't - unless they have a collective death wish, in which case, let them die on that hill. There's no reason for us to pull the plug on them. Just let them overreach to the point of vanishing up their own backsides.
