I'm surprised it's as little as 10%
- I'm mortified the politicians are that cheap
- This is what's revealed
It’s not just the “dark money” donations to Westminster but the sheer size of the lobby group influencers and other state agents. Whenever there’s an “expert” put on tv or radio on a topic, I notice they come from a number of (usually US-funded) think tanks.
"dubious sources" it's russia.
- They’re all at it, not just Russians. Notice how mamy Americans are active in Westminster politics.
Foreign agent registration laws not being enforced?!

hmm
