Who'd have thought that a bill to constrain corporate donations to political parties in the UK contains many loopholes that would make it largely ineffective.... I wonder why that is?

Just more declaratory politics pretending to do something about the creeping corruption of our democracy but actually doing little to stop the political class sucking on the corporate tit (as it were).

Another policy area where the Greens are more robust than the mainstream!

Ban corporate donations to UK political parties to protect elections, says thinktank

CenTax warns bill under debate in parliament has ‘easily exploitable’ loopholes and will not prevent foreign interference

The Guardian
@ChrisMayLA6 Politicians that do not deliver for citizens likely have no other option than to start sucking up. The question then is: to whom, and why would it be called 'up', instead of ' selling out'.
@ChrisMayLA6 Sorting that out would contribute to a clear definition of an useful idiot.

@ChrisMayLA6 And fascism highly resembles selling out under the guise of hierarchy.

Fascism as a cognitive dissonance coping mechanism for perceived and or actual failure.
