The Conservatives would consider leaving the European Convention on Human Rights if they won the 2015 election, the home secretary has said.
Theresa May told an event organised by the ConservativeHome site the party would also scrap the Human Rights Act.
She said it restricted the UK’s ability “to act in the national interest”.
A private poll by ex-party treasurer Lord Ashcroft, meanwhile, suggested the party would lose 93 marginal seats to Labour if the election was held now.
The BBC understands Mrs May was putting forward ideas for the next Conservative manifesto, and such a move was not current government policy.
While the home secretary said she thought David Cameron would lead the party into the next election, BBC political correspondent Ross Hawkins said there was no sign the speech heralds a leadership challenge.

Lol only the Tories could possibly imagine getting rid of human rights laws will somehow be good. Wave goodbye to freedom of speech freedom of religion freedom of press a fair trial etc etc etc …. and all this just to be able to get rid of one or two muslim extremists.
They are so blinded by rascism they will happily destroy their own rights if it means immigrants will suffer too.
