Here is another reason you should be thankful for signing up to the european convention of human rights. It may show how the russians have been fooling around with your democratic processes.
A cross-party group of MPs is threatening to sue Boris Johnson unless he orders an independent investigation into*Russian interference in recent UK elections*and the 2016 Brexit vote.
The MPs say the government’s refusal to investigate Kremlin meddling is a breach of the European convention on human rights, which enshrines the right to free elections in protocol 1.
The group says it will take the prime minister to court if he fails to implement what it describes as essential steps to protect future elections. It has sent him a pre-action letter, to which Downing Street has two weeks to respond.
