Lib Dems Have Donation Scandals Too!
Labour have had a few. The Conservatives too. But now it’s the Lib Dems turn to have another* donation ’scandal’.
The Lib Dems always claim to be less corrupt than anyone else, yet this just proves what is more likely is that because no-one really cares, they just get caught less. And now for them to get a little of their own medicine, with calls for an inquiry.
They are at least as bad as everyone else.
British politics may not be whiter than white, but it is at least better than most others. Of course we want - and should want - it to be whiter than white, but that will only be achieved through a requirement for as good as complete transparency over party funding and diligent journalists keeping a tab on politicians of all parties.
What will be interesting about this is how new leader Nick Clegg reacts to and deals with it.
* Remember Michael Brown’s £2.4m, anyone?
