Uttlesford Liberal Democrats

Uttlesford Libdems

Uttlesford liberal Democrats are responsible for presenting candidates for all elections in the area broadly corresponding to that controlled by Uttlesford District Council. This includes Essex County Council elective areas like Thaxted and Great Dunmow, elections to Uttlesford District Council and the Parliamentary Constituency of North West Essex

On Thursday 30 October 2025 Leader of the Conservative Party Kemi Bandenoch MP voted to take the United Kingdom out of the European Convention of Human Rights. 

Fortunately she was in a minority.

 

The ECHR was created by Sir Winston Churchill and other European leaders in 1950, after World War Two, to ensure a minimum standard of human rights of all people in Europe and to protect them from harmful authoritarian regimes. Key rights protected by the Convention are the right to life, freedom from torture, right to a fair trial and freedom of expression.

- Why does Mrs Badenoch want to reduce your human rights?

- Which rights do Mrs Badenoch and Mr Farage want to dispense with?

- Would you trust those persons with your human rights?

In the Commons vote, MPs defeated Nigel Farage's motion to withdraw the UK from the ECHR by 154 votes to 96. Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey led the opposition, while the Labour frontbench abstained. Many Conservatives, including the North West Essex MP, backed Farage's motion.

So we see a little more of who Kemi Badenoch really is...

"Farage wants to do away with the Britain Churchill built and turn it into Trump's America. We won't let him." - Ed Davey, Autumn Conference
