If you’ve already braced yourself for a potential May general election, get ready for a “Super Thursday” where the British public will vote for their next government and whether Britain should leave the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) on the same day. The ECHR has been a contentious issue for the Conservatives, with recent warnings from the court about human rights law violations.
There are calls from some Conservative figures to leave the ECHR, citing public support for such a move. However, if the UK were to exit the ECHR, it would join only Belarus and Russia in doing so.
