Blown
Is anyone
else in the banking system going to resign due to having appointed senior staff
with a cocaine problem?
It is no
joke to say that that explains a very great deal.
There'll be many, many more scandals like this-from both Labour and the Tories.
"Cash-for-peerages" and now "cash-from-cokeheads".
The central problem that both parties have no choice but to whore themselves out to the highest bidder (trade union barons, cokeheads and hedge funds).
Because they cannot raise money from normal people.
They can't even get many people to turn up and vote for either of them any more.
The "None of the Above" Party is bigger than either Labour or the Tories.
Trade unions are normal people. It is their enemies, in the Blairite remnant and in the Coalition, or are wildly untypical economically, socially, culturally and politically.
Trade unions are indeed composed of normal people.
But Len Mcluskey himself warned that, if their members had to opt in to donating to Labour, fewer than 10% would willingly do so.
Labour, like the Tories, relies on corrupt expenses-fiddling bankers, dodgy union barons and cokeheads because no normal person would give them a penny.
If Ed is serious about getting rid of the political levy, and asking union members to "opt in" then his revenues will collapse...and he'll have to rely even more on dodgy bankers.
Believe me, those scandals are going to keep growing.
As is the rising voter apathy recorded in the ballooning number of people who refuse to vote.
These parties speak for nobody-as the polls of the North show, Labour doesn't even speak for its most tribal voters.
That is a rapidly changing situation as the sheer ghastliness of this Government becomes more and more apparent. Even leaving aside McCluskey's tactical reasons for making the original claim.
