McCLoskey LJ ... NI pronounces ...
"I consider the characterisation of the subject matter of these proceedings as inherently and unmistakably political to be beyond plausible dispute.
Virtually all of the assembled evidence belongs to the world of politics, both national and supra-national.
Within the world of politics the well-recognised phenomena of claim and counterclaim, assertion and counter-assertion, allegation and denial, blow and counter-blow, alteration and modification of government policy, public statements, unpublished deliberations, posturing, strategy and tactics are the very essence of what is both countenanced and permitted in a democratic society."
