Political donations ensure that interests of the super-rich are writ large in govt policies. Capital gains & dividends are taxed at lower marginal rates than wages. No NIC is levied. Income of private equity bosses taxed as capital gains. Bribery pays but normal people can't play the game.

We need to get serious about tackling corruption through political donations

The government's reforms are welcome but they won't end political corruption
