Just to clarify about the human rights act, I feel like it's likely that the Tories could use it as an excuse to leave the EU. They'll try to scrap it, the EU will complain, they'll stir up the media making speeches about how the EU is always telling us what to do, then they'll have the referendum about leaving and, surprise surprise, the population will have been bombarded with enough bullshit to want to leave.
Not sure how likely it is to happen, personally I really hope it doesn't, but unfortunately they can essentially do whatever they want now.
