I1L2T3 10 #241 Posted April 14, 2016 Are those two parties both The Labour Party? https://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/2015/03/24/list-of-labour-cash-donors-non-trade-union/ 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.

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.'
