The Rule of Law

Posted by Jeff Rees on March 20, 2007 9:17 PM | 

For several years now, Québec has had a law that ensures control of the financing, and sources of income and expenses of political parties. Only a physical person may contribute to the financing of political parties. Authorized contributions are small and may not exceed a maximum annual amount.

Again and again corrupt British practice in the funding of political parties has led to a loss of confidence in the political process by the people. Perhaps one of the first Welsh laws passed in the Senedd should be one to control who contributes and how much, to political parties in Wales. The Quebec model is worthy of consideration as Big Union and Big Business money is of to great an influence.
