Background
We believe illegal Channel crossings are undermining border security and public trust, and that current membership of the ECHR prevents effective deportations and blocks government action. We think that by suspending ECHR obligations and halting asylum claims until crossings end, the UK can deter illegal entry, protect national sovereignty, and restore control of our borders.
