Mind Your Own Business

It is no concern of the Tax Dodgers' Alliance, the only discernible function of which is to secure positions generously remunerated by the taxpayers whose number its members go to such great lengths to avoid joining, how much trade unions pay their leaders.

The members get to vote on that, as they do on the funding of the Labour Party, to which no individual trade unionist is obliged to contribute one penny.

Do shareholders get to vote on the pay of those at the top of the companies that fund the Conservative Party and the Tax Dodgers' Alliance? Do shareholders get to vote on those donations, or to opt out of them, never mind having to opt into them in order to participate?

I'll give you a clue: I already know the answers to those questions.
