Leader of Reform UK Nigel Farage has said that he does not see a problem with renegotiating the Good Friday Agreement to remove the reference to the European Convention on Human Rights.<\/p>\n
Speaking to RT\u00c9 News at his party’s conference, Mr Farage said that a British government led by Reform UK should be good for UK-Ireland relations.<\/p>\n
“Obviously the Irish position, at the moment, on the EU is a bit different to ours but we all want good relations,” he said.<\/p>\n
On the issue of renegotiating the Good Friday Agreement, Mr Farage said that the “ECHR thing was written in right at the end”.<\/p>\n
“The peace agreement wasn’t dependent on the ECHR, I don’t see a problem with that,” he added.<\/p>\n
Mr Farage was attending the final day of his party’s two-day conference.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, Mr Farage told activists to expect a general election in the next two years, as he told the Reform UK conference that successes in the last 12 months are only the beginning.<\/p>\n
The Reform leader struck a triumphant tone as he gave an ebullient speech to members at the event in Birmingham.<\/p>\n
Mr Farage said the party was on track to enter government, as he announced it was setting up an internal department to prepare for office.<\/p>\n
The party’s former chairman Zia Yusuf will become its head of policy.<\/p>\n
