I was reading about this on the BBC feed and it looked like the Conservatives (right wing) were more in favour of this than Labour or Lib Dems(left wing). Not what I was expecting. Most of them seemed to take issue with the legal protections in place to stop people being coerced into ending their lives but some also seemed to be prioritising the family over the terminally ill.
The legal protection in this case being a literal high court judge having to check the person is not being coerced and sign it off. That’s a pretty high bar in my opinion!
