A full EHRC investigation into the Conservative Party.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

A full EHRC investigation into the Conservative Party, for allegations such as antisemitism, islamophobia and sex offences.
Political parties should be investigated and then to be publicly released.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission have recently released a report on antisemitism allegations within the Labour Party. Thus, it's only fair the the EHRC carries out the same investigations, within the Conservative Party.

These include;

-Antisemitism
-Islamophobia
-Sex offences.

Situations like; https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/nov/27/sayeeda-warsi-tory-islamophobia-muslim-prejudice-investigation

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission is operationally independent, so decisions about what inquiries and investigations it carries out are a matter for the EHRC, not the Government or House of Commons.

In May 2020, the EHRC concluded that it would not undertake its own inquiry into the Conservative Party while the Party's own internal investigations remain in progress: https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/en/our-work/news/complaints-raised-about-islamophobia-conservative-party

If you want the EHRC to reconsider its decision you should contact them directly: https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/en/contact-us
