1 min read
  1. that the Government of the UK must rectify non-compliance with the European Convention on Human Rights (“ECHR”), either by it or any of its territories to which the ECHR has been extended; and
  2. that the Government of the UK must remain party to the ECHR and must covenant ongoing compliance with the ECHR and acceptance of the jurisdiction of its court.
  3. the UK is the only country in the EU with no written constitutional code, which means that Parliament is empowered to do as it pleases without either the constraints of a written constitutional code or judicial control of acts of Parliament; and
  4. the UK has one of the most deficient electoral systems of the western hemisphere in terms of democratic representation, which means that a third of the electoral role in the UK could elect a political party with a comfortable majority in Parliament to change any laws in any way that such political party deems appropriate without any constitutional constraint or judicial control.
