Individual English Democrats Activists could be claiming against Matt O'Connor for time and expenses spent collecting signatures, campaigning, and the specific Matt O'Connor publicity expenses.
English Democrats members gladly give there time to a fellow English Democrats, but not to a character who fails to honour his commitment.
Should Mr O'Connor contest the matter, then the Courts, will determine whether Matt O'Connors claims that the English Democrats "defaulted" on their side of the agreement is valid.
There is confidence in the English Democrats camp that no "default" took place.

Reading these posts by the ED's National Secretary must be like seeing a train crash in process. You know it's very nasty, but some appalled fascination makes people watch what's happening.
I could record various reflections on the above post, but confine myself to the observation that we have all been properly warned. Stand for the EDs as a candidate, sign one of their contracts and if working relations break down between you and this unusual party, expect to be spending lots of time with your lawyers.
An inviting prospect! Anyone who wishes to stand for the EDs in the Euro-elections in June 2009, form a queue here:
