lpv:spoken text	"The recent accession of the EU to the ECHR will mean that future negotiations of all member states to opt out of the Convention could only be carried out by leaving the EU. The UK relationship with the ECHR has always been independent from our membership to the EU. The debate in Parliament was juxtaposed with negotations at the Brighton Conference to reform the ECHR under the chairmanship of the UK. There is growing discontent that domestic sovereignty over controversial issues such as the deportation of known terrorists and the lawfulness of banning convicted criminals from voting is undermined by unelected judges in the ECHR who are not accountable to the public and override the British legal system with questionable judgments. EU accession to the ECHR would result in a tighter net forming around UK membership to the Convention from which Britain would struggle to be freed. It is essential that the EU and the ECHR remain entirely independent. However I fear the proposed accession of the EU to the ECHR is designed to pave the way for Brussels to become the primary legal power in Europe in association with the European Courts of Human Rights."@en1
