HOW is it that parliamentary government and political parties have been around since the 18th century, they still have not got a simple, crystal clear, workable system for political party donations in place?
I feel the electorate is entitled to ask "do we get value for money" when, after three centuries, party donations are in such a shambles and so open to abuse and misuse.
If the electorate operated its finances like that, the nation as we know it would not exist.
