The Issue

A full EHRC investigation into the Conservative Party, for allegations such as antisemitism, islamophobia and sex offences.

Political parties should be investigated fairly and evenly. The results should then be publicly released.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission have recently released a report on antisemitism allegations within the Labour Party. Thus, it's only fair the the EHRC carries out the same investigations, within the Conservative Party.

These include;

-Antisemitism
-Islamophobia
-Sex offences.

Situations like; https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/nov/27/sayeeda-warsi-tory-islamophobia-muslim-prejudice-investigation

The Equality and Human Rights Commission is operationally independent, so decisions about what inquiries and investigations it carries out are a matter for the EHRC, not the Government or House of Commons.

In May 2020, the EHRC concluded that it would not undertake its own inquiry into the Conservative Party while the Party's own internal investigations remain in progress: https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/en/our-work/news/complaints-raised-about-islamophobia-conservative-party
