O/T DDay for Brexit..well sort of...

Shut down the lobbying industry would be a start exile .

Ban MP's from having vested interests in company's would be another .

And being 'sponsored' by and accepting money from Trade Unions?

As Roly pointed out last week, we certainly live in interesting times.

Labour has no issue with the Withdrawal Agreement (insofar as it is possible to tell), but voted against it when it was put forward on a standalone basis last Friday.

MPs essentially falling out over the Political Declaration, even though its contents can bind neither the EU nor the government.

Parliament moving towards incorporating a commitment to a Customs Union arrangement into the (non binding) Political Declaration with no idea of the 'price' that the EU will demand for it.

Utterly bonkers.

What a country without payola ?
That will never do
Seeing as you have all the answers just how much does the Labour party receive from TU's & how much does the Tory party receive from sponsorship
We all know who the wealthiest party is so educate us on just how much

I have no idea, Exile and don't understand the relevance of your questions.

Look the answers up if you really want to know. You clearly have internet access.

But you speak with such authority on these matters I felt sure you would know & would put some flesh on the bones of your assertions without much effort
The amounts received are highly relevant for as you know full well money talks & the more you have the bigger voice you have or has that simple truth passed you by
For further evidence just look at the vested interests of Parliament & why we can make little progress on Brexit
75% remainers with many with their snouts in the trough

... executed for treason just like the treasonous MP's should be

Are you being hyperbolic here? I suggest you think before you post as some of your stuff is bordering on incitement to violence.

Yes, some soldiers know how to get on the internet and they can be quite impressionable

2017 election year total spend was:

Tories £19 million
Labour £11 million
Lib Dems £6
Greens £300k

That's fair isn't it? What's wrong with that? A proper democracy.

It's sad to see that once again as so often in the past the Northern working class are dancing to the tunes of the Old Etonian pipers.
