Rejected petition Transfer powers away from the EU Court of Human Rights to people instated by the British electorate

More details

Ever wondered why European officials have any say in how justice is carried out in Great Britain? Would you prefer judicial powers to be transferred from the EU Court of Human Rights to people appointed by the general public? If the answer to either of those questions is yes, you MUST sign this petition. If enough of us sign, we can get the Government to remove this costly bureaucracy and keep legal processes democratic!
