Quite.
The MP for Thanet South isn't going to court till 2018, 3 years after the alleged crime. In the meantime he's been able to stand for re-election There are many other Tories that should be in the dock with him, if the laws on electoral fraud were a bit stronger/properly enforced.
Suspect he'll get off on the grounds of diminished responsibility (and being a toff).
