Recent polling for the More in Common think tank found half of voters think Britain should remain an ECHR member, with the other half roughly split between those who think Britain should leave (28 percent) and undecideds (23 percent).
“The notion of going back to ‘Brexit Wars’ fills people with dread,” More in Common’s Luke Tryl said. “They just don’t want to be talking about Europe. They want to be talking about shopping prices, [National Health Service] waiting lists, that type of thing.”

Less than a quarter of the public think Britain should leave the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), according to a new poll.
It also found that pledging to leave the ECHR at the election would lose twice as many votes for the Conservatives as they would gain from the promise.
The polling, carried out last week by More in Common, a think tank, found that 49 per cent want Britain to remain a member of the convention, which Winston Churchill helped to create in 1951. Leaving the ECHR was only supported by 23 per cent of people. The same proportion said they did not know.
