Rule of law is not a vote winner

With apologies to Billmon.

Today's SCMP:

Senior lawyers yesterday described as worrying and shocking police attempts to raid the offices of the Legal Aid Department for sensitive documents. They said such actions risked breaching a cardinal principle of the rule of law - the guarantee of confidentiality to clients.
Jake van der Kamp, also in today's SCMP:
Bellicose Britain, confirming its warlike traditions, votes overwhelmingly for a government that has also abolished the right of habeas corpus. Ah well.
