"European Charter on Human Rights: the legal system used in the UK (although there are variations in Scotland) is Habeas Corpus"
...no, Habeas Corpus is a procedure within the common law.
"The integration and implementation of the ECHR unfortunately did not sufficiently anticipate the effects of differences in legal systems within the EU"
I'm sorry, but this is utter tosh. It's a piece of legislation like any other. Since it appears that I must: source please. Or indeed a slightly more detailed explanation than this - as it stands this little snippet is very wordy yet actually conveys no message at all.
"Our policy is to draw up a new Bill of Rights incorporating both the ECHR and UN Charter on Human Rights but in a way which is appropriate to our own legal system."
Again: how? As ever, nice and wordy, legally unsubstantiated, and devoid of any actual fact. To re-iterate: how is the HRA inappropriate for the common law?
"the current Act is falling short and causing unnecessary tensions in our communities."
Ditto. Less rhetoric more substance please.
