Unfortunately, it is a double edged sword; I think I recall an article by a politician stating that the way to leave the ECHR is for the UK to withdraw from the EU and return to self governance or make a case to pull Britain out. Both go hand in hand. Hence the reason why we also need a decent government in power so it doesn't turn into a loss loss situation. On a positive note, if Britain left the (EU and) ECHR, they would also be able to deport criminals more easily and more quickly as they would not be bound over by the rules of the ECHR.
