The issue is more about who judges human rights. We have an 800 year old principle that says we have the right to be judged by our peers, i.e. our fellow citizens We also have a right to free speech. Calling us "mouth foamers" does not make your opinion better than ours.https://twitter.com/JonMarcStanley/status/1017475954401259523 …
No it doesn't but it is a court governing a convention. That's it. Our judges are most certainly not our peers. In ECHR appeals it is to to question judgements going against individuals. The idea leaving the ECHR would not have massive consequences across Europe is a fantasy

I agree most judges are not our peers, but that's an issue with how we select them and needs fixing. They do, however, live in the same country The issue I have is cases like votes for prisoners, where judgements do not reflect our values. ECtHR removes our right to self rule

National security concerns can be raised for that. Ultimately on a non case basis we can apply exemptions. The court better serves countries with much poorer domestic systems, if we leave they will be encouraged to.
