Keith A,
       I understand from a radio programme on this subject the other day it was accepted that the European Court of Human Rights (whatever they are) can huff and puff till they are blue in the face but there is no obligation for Her Majesty`s Government to implement their dictats. Also, regarding claims for compensation of disenfranchisement, Westminster can justly say "No, now any other business?"
It would all blow over in weeks leaving the country to get on with then real problems of today.
