Huhne Case

Mail on Sunday: Reports that the Energy Secretary Chris Huhne refused to answer questions by Police on the allegation that he transferred driving penalty points to his wife, but also his separated wife also refused to answer questions. In less the police have more evidence the case should be dropped, the Energy Secretary has the same rights as one else, it does not sound great in US terms that he took the 5th but that is his right. Thus with election expenses allegation dropped against Mr Huhne, there is the chance due to the nature of the case that this case will be also dropped. As to the political consequences one can postulate that since Mr Huhne is a Lib Dem, he just might keep his place at the Cabinet, but a lot like the Business Secretary Vince Cable, he is no longer a threat to Nick Clegg.
