I'm sure its not on the labour agenda to contemplate it, but its on Reform and Conservative minds from what I can see. So, keeping it in the public eye is tactically smart, in case it is useful as a tool to entice voters at election time
Not really sure how 57% against, 21% don't know and 22% for translates into a public view on the ECHR being split down the middle!

Its on Reform's agenda, precisely because their modus operandi is to try and push these right wing agendas to influence public views on such matters. The fact that they do this by a range of tactics from being deliberately misleading, to outright lies is something that is a cause for concern.

Its on some Conservative minds, because it seems many currently in the party haven't learnt anything from their recent defeat and still believe they lost because they weren't sufficiently right wing enough.

I do hope they continue along this path, because it will ensure that there is little chance of the Conservatives being elected in the near future.

The best thing that has happened is the election of Reform MP's, because it will soon become apparent that non of them have any appetite for the work of an MP and Reform doesn't ahve the organisation to be able to deal with constituents issues.
