Arguments in favour

• Bill of rights can clarify the convention rights and how they are applied to the UK for example the phrase 'degrading treatment and punishment' contained within the EHCR can be more defined
• The current HRA lacks entrenchment this is why it can be altered and likely weakend by the 2019 Tory Manifesto pledge to update the HRA
• some argue that a bill of rights will reflect the balance between rights and responsibilities for example it can recognise the right to privacy but allow governments flexibility to counter terrorism
• left wing supporters of a bill of rights argue that it doesnt have to reflect a conservative tradition but instead more of a liberal one
