The government will do whatever it wants, whenever it wants, if it can get away with it. Principles and laws were long ago proven to be worth less than the paper they are printed on. If the government wants a right wing organisation out of the way, they will use whatever justification (or no justification at all) to do so, regardless of 'precedent'.

I think we are now at the point of naked power politics, so when the hammer comes down on my foes rather than me, I'm not going to waste my time standing on principle.
