Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : David Jones, a former Cabinet minister, said: "I would very much hope there would be recognition at last that there is no option but to legislate [to disapply the Act to illegal migration] and I hope that the Government would press on quickly with that."Downing Street has maintained that the Government can meet its pledge to stop the boats within its international obligations but will face a clamour from some 50 to 60 backbenchers to quit the ECHR if the Supreme Court rejects its case.
43% : Adding nations to the "safe" country list alongside EU countries Switzerland and Albania would make it easier to reject asylum claims and return them to their homelands.
41% : They proposed amending the Act with "notwithstanding" clauses that would direct British courts to ignore ECHR rulings in specific cases, such as when an illegal migrant requests to remain in the UK to preserve their right to family life.
34% : The Illegal Migration Act disapplied section 3 of the Act and narrowed the grounds for migrants to challenge their deportation by requiring them to show they faced a risk of serious and irreversible harm.
