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.
