http://newsthump.com/2011/02/09/political-parties-still-funded-by-pricks/The nation is this morning realising that the nation’s major political parties are still funded by the sort of people that caused the banking crisis and who pull tube drivers out on strike at the drop of a hat.
Following news that rich people give money to people who can make them richer, experts have warned that the sort of people who give money to political parties are only doing so in the hope that any government they fund will do as they say.
“The act of giving money to a politician is completely insane when you write it down like that – because you’re willingly giving money. To a politician.
A politician.”
“Until of course  you realise they can do things to promote your own personal agenda when they’re in power. Then it makes sense. Whether that agenda is ensuring tube drivers earn more than bankers, or whether you want to keep all your money and stop plebs getting within eight miles of the gates to your London property. Politicians can help, for a price.”
