Background
Sovereignty means making our own rules and controlling our own laws without outside influence. The ECHR has repeatedly undermined the UK’s ability to protect borders, enforce immigration law, and uphold democratic decisions. British rights should be protected by British law, in British courts. It's time to restore legal and democratic control by triggering Article 58 and leaving the ECHR.
