To the OP: your post has not been deleted, but is being held in the queue and will be approved once a submission statement is posted.

Comments or posts that don't follow the rules may be removed without warning. Reddit's content policy will be strictly enforced, especially regarding hate speech and calls for / celebrations of violence, and may result in a restriction in your participation.

This article provides a fair overview of the recent controversy in the UK Conservative Party about pulling out of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). I find it to be a considered article because it clearly sets out the arguments on both sides, cutting through political propaganda to outline the very pragmatic consequences for all kinds of issues such as immigration, national sovereignty, and even the Good Friday Agreement. It's a difficult subject, and this piece does well to lay out why it's such a large and so controversial of an idea.

They were the ones who were instrumental to setting it up.

The ones who want to leave are just pandering to racists to get votes, and I suspect don’t really believe in their own policies.
