Summary
People who give big donations to political parties expect to gain a big influence on the policy. For instance, they want to get permission about changing a few laws by giving a lot of money. If you extend quite a bit of money instead of 5 pounds, you would expect them to give more notice of you. Stuart wheeler said: “Obviously a party is going to take more notice of somebody who might give them lots of money than somebody who won't, but that would be the same in any walk of life”. The opinion of this issue was asked to Dame Denise Platt, one member of the committee. She said: “It's just that a rich person is going to have his or her views heard ... But they shouldn't change their [the politician's] policy if they don't agree with it”.
Response
It’s a normal reaction to adjust things related to the party in exchange for a big pile of money. I’m against this possibility, because every person has the right to be treated equally by the party, no matter their bank account. It’s not the right thought that you can reach everything with money. I agree with Dame Denise Platt that the party only should change their policy if they agree with it.
I think it's wrong because this makes it easier for people to bribe politicians. The article is right that the politicians shouldn't change the policy unless they agree with what is being proposed. But I think it's pretty obvious that this is not how things work in practice. People will probably change their policy for a large sum of cash no matter what.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI agree with you because it is not far that people who have a lot of money would be able to influence the politicians by donating a lot of money. I think it is a good thing that they give money to political parties, but only because they already support the partie and not with the intention to change their policy.
