Hello Im Russell Brand Im Host Of The Trews

I’m here with George Mumbai Oh I said it right I know Mom Bo and we’re talking about party funding and the death of Representative politics. Why is it that all of us want stuff and that stuff never happened but Todd we’ve got democracy say we don’t want these privatized they are privatized anyway so you’re gonna help us understand this are you George yeah well. Basically. The idea is that we live in what’s called a democracy, but is owned effectively by the people who provide the money and and we have this completely unreformed political funding system. So basically you can vote you can protest.

You Can Do All The Things

which in an ordinary representative democracy. You do but nothing ever happens. Nothing changes in that right direction or it does with extreme difficulty because basically the parties have beholden to the people who are providing them with their election funding who should pay for our politics for days. Labor’s been criticized for taking cash from the trade unions but today Ed Miliband tent is far on the Conservatives claiming they’d received millions from city bankers. The result was a wall of noise as soon as I see like this chamber.

I Start To Think This Dont Look

like I once was taking a seed and I looked at when when it first came on at Indiana. For this don’t look like how things should be run. I want party funding reform he doesn’t I’m proud that we have links with ordinary working people. He’s bankrolled by a few millionaires the party of the people. The party of privilege the fact is that what is going on in there is not actually where power happens that that’s that’s just Penta mine is a pen and it’s a whole lot of shouting boorish idiots, some of whom do possess some handle on power but the real work goes on elsewhere, so this is a fast the real stuff happens elsewhere in rooms in relationship.

Its A Lobbying.

It’s and and particularly it is the handing over of money Now There are people who are giving hundreds of thousands of pounds to the Tory party that their bankers hedge fund managers, their oligarchs doing it through UK companies. I mean there’s Russian Oligarchs who appear to be giving money to UK companies lobbying companies who then giving it to the government. You know you are beholding to those people you can’t win an election without them. You need their millions if you’re going to win the next election and so everything you do there in the back of your mind so money should be taken out of politics In the budget.

The Chancellor Gave Hedge Funds A Hundred And

forty-five million pound tax car. Can the Prime Minister tell us was it just a coincidence. I just don’t want my life run by this I think get. This I think get money out politics and get this running things? I mean the problem is you know even he’s compromised they’re all compromised by the funding system. I am willing as I’ve said before to have a 5000 pound limit on donations from trade unions, businesses and individuals is he willing to do that because even a 4,000 pound limit.

I Mean Most People In The

country could never I mean if they had 5,000 would give it to the five grand Mmm could I give it to a blumin The last causes give it to but of course, if you’re a business. You know you’ve got millions of pounds 5,000 pounds. There’s nothing so even that’s too much. So Miliband won’t bite the bullet on this what he’s proposing is pathetic. It’s just pathetic it hardly touches the problem because actually you just got to.

To Get All The Money Out Of It

You’ve got to get all the corporate money. All the private money out of it, except for what almost everyone can afford or it should be like a 30 quid membership fee that’s the only only private monument should be. This is of a functional idea that we could popularize and push for and they would radically transform politics because the influence of money is one of the most corrosive and corrupt aspects of our modern political eyes. It would drag them away from the billionaires and from the corporations and it would but at the same time it would force them to reconnect with the people who ought to be their party members, but the only way that they could then survive. At the next election is to have as many members as possible so they’ve got to then change their policies so they actually appeal to the ordinary people rather than to big business, but Labour was still the party of the Union’s.

The Prime Minister Said And The

loosening of financial links changed. Nothing will the unions still have the biggest vote at the conference. Yes will they still be able to determine the party’s policy Yes will they still have the decisive vote in voting to the neighbour leader Yeah like him growling like that now I’ve been given a window into what it’s like the moment before he ejaculate is the only lock stock and block vote He gets so heated about this you know you’d never see him that heated in other circumstances. You know normally he goes around with this sort of covered in Vaseline and completely calm the rest of his face scarcely moves, but no he’s gone. Brett he’s furious He’s he’s steam Sound sense because this is the heart of it because because it touches the most sensitive spot in the whole of political life, which is where the money is coming from and who’s actually pulling this money in politics is the perineum of British politics.

Its The Delicate Hinterland Between The Genitals And

the anus and when you touch David Cameron. There he goes very red, so how are the parties funded. Over the last year. The Tories receive donations of 13 million pounds, more than a million from one city banker alone Labour got more than 12 million pounds. Two-thirds of which came from the unions.

The Lib Dems Got 2.

7 million when something like this. Jules typically like they talk about it air it for a while and then find ways of seeming to have moved, but actually if done nothing where there are some loopholes and backdoors where people can continue to enforce the same political dynamic is actually it’s been going on for four decades for over a century and they keep having the Commission‘s and reports and investigations into what needs to be done and nothing changes Yuto ever when you told me but that UK had previously been proposed under some other name it makes you realize. I was just some sort of cyclical mechanism, and this is just an echo chamber of nothingness.

The Same Corrupt Forces Which Have Operated

in politics are still here in it’s gonna be a democracy and and you know the the Democratic will of the people just is not does not get represented in. This place there is a big difference between donations to the Conservative party, It shouldn’t be allowed to be on the telly In his anger. He’s forgotten to try to be normal donations to the Labour Party buy votes at your conference by candidates and UK in this house and pay for the votes that gave him his job. They paid that money they bought their votes.

They Put Him In His Place And That

hasn’t changed a thing so what should we do in conclusion. George well we’ve just you know until we grasp this until we actually start getting really as angry as he’s getting but the other way around about the funding system. Nothing in politics is going to change because it will continue to be bought it we’re just we you know we can go out in our millions to protest we can make the case. For all the policies that we want but one the the big guys have still got their hands on the purse strings.

They Will Play These People Like

puppets where should we go to learn more about this issue in this country unlock democracy would be where I’d start that’s where we should go because as long as the political process is ultimately controlled by donations and other aspects of financial and corporate relations between politicians we have no power no facts. I’m true news True news Nose is a tool that is appeals to folio until Inga scared and confused chose is like the nose if the nose were through. I want some trolls let’s have some trolls.
