Labour forces SNP cash drive climbdown
Only those people holding British passports are to be allowed to contribute cash
to the SNP to help them fight the election in May this year.
Although this seems at first sight a sensible measure to exclude
foreign influences creeping into the electoral system, we should remember
the money that multinationals and foreign governments have given to
both TORY and LABOUR parties over the years.
Thatcher and the Saudi government after the gulf war, Thatcher and the
ill fated dam project.
Labour simply wants to starve the SNP of funds making it incapable of fighting the
election.
Of course Labour continues to suck money from Unions.
How democratic.
