I'm not a lawyer, but my understanding is that ECtHR rulings (unlike CJEU rulings for those in the EU) are not directly applicable within national law. The role is supervisory but that may itself be too much for some.

Thanks Cas. Interesting point about KPƖ, not elected to Parliament since 1959. I'm guessing it's a catch-all radical left party and that its name is just a bit of heritage. I would not say that of the PCF such as it still is, the PCP (CDU in Portugal) or the KKE, which never stopped getting elected.

Would it help if the party activists or MPs actually read the ECHR? It only takes about 5 minutes to get through its core, which is section I: www.echr.coe.int/documents/d/...

Her letter places her on the left and alludes to her being anti-Brexit in its closing lines. I doubt she'd go to the Right, but her views on gender would make her unwelcome to the Greens or LibDems.

This arrived today, unsolicited by me and in a House of Commons envelope. I had not realised that Deputy Speakers, when not in the Chair, may not vote or speak in the House though they sit on their party's benches and their constituency elections remain contested. #CarolineNokesMP

This would cover spouses and dependent children only, not wider family. And yes, in reverse when going the other way.
