| The evolution of the financing scandal round ruling Labor Party It is going for 2 years (!) as our British people are witnessing the evolution of the financing scandal round ruling Labor Party. As far back as March 2006, information about secret denotations, offered to Labor Party by some rich individuals in exchange for seats in the House of Lords of our Parliament, leaked out on pages of most British newspapers. Certainly nobody in this country can say that the topic of the germ of millions on the party cash account is a new one for the political landscape of the UK. But the matter is that just Labour have promised their constituents to make their party policy “whiter than white” and even adopted the relevant law, due to which the names of private individuals, who donate the party over 5 thousand pounds sterling, should publicly announced, as well as their credits are allowed only on commercial terms.
But as it has turned out recently, this law continues to be violated. And the names of the ruling Labor Party’s creditors can still be disclosed. As a result of it Secretary-General of the Labor Party, Peter Watt, had to announce his retirement. It’s become known about dubious denotations to the party, made by one businessman through several front men. Then it has leaked out that the anonymous grants to the party with a total value of nearly 400 thousand pounds were made by one of established clients of Labour, David Abrahams.
Well, it is absolutely clear now that these contributions fall short of accepted law. And while the police investigation of this case quickly gains momentum, all Britons debate how soon the turn will come to our present premier G. Brown. In November 2006 (when he was the Chancellor of the Exchequer and had to give written testimony in the “case of the titles”) he said that he could not be responsible for filling the party cashier, because he was responsible only for the financial situation of the state. I wonder how he will wriggle out now… |
