So, if the records are kept, then it cannot be regarded as permanently secret.
The fact that a Judge can authorise access to papers, proves the point that, if a 'need' is given to a Judge, then the 'secret' information could be forthcoming.
One reason I refuse to vote.
One other is there is no one worth voting for.
A third, is I disagree with 'protest' voting - not voting, in my opinion says a lot more...
