David Cameron, secrecy and tax avoidance

Recommended Posts

 

That illustrates another level of the problem.

 

There is the perception that the unions heavily skew Labour's agenda, but we also know that Labour has been very receptive to big business over the last 20 years, and there is also a perception that donations from businesses have also skewed its agenda.

 

I'd rather that our parties weren't tearing themselves apart. Even the pro/anti EU split in the Tories is partly a result of two very different strands of economic thought within the party.

Good good. As long as they're better at it.

 

Do any of the banks donate to the Tories?

Good point further in the article:

 

'But so-called “Dodgy Dave” was still the number one choice of politician to manage respondents’ financial affairs, winning 36 per cent of the vote compared with Jeremy Corbyn and Nicola Sturgeon, both at 19 per cent.

 

Labour voters are less loyal to their leader than their Conservative counterparts, with 42 per cent saying they would trust Mr Corbyn to manage their financial affairs, compared to 71 per cent of Conservative voters who would entrust their accounts to Mr Cameron.'
