Never mind receiving the £14m loan - how does a politcal party pay it back???
Given a political party has no income other than donations & loans, how do they pay this £14m back?
More loans? ;) :D Or do the 'lenders' just forget about it over time, and in reality, it's a donation (ie, in through the back door). |
I believe they consolidate all their existing loans into one manageable monthly payment. They even had enough left over for a holiday to Greece!

I was thinking the very same thing this morning.
Loans are probably written off as bad debts :Suspiciou . Even more interesting - how is the loan to be paid back if you forgot to mention to the Treasurer that the loans have been taken :Suspiciou :Suspiciou :Suspiciou :Suspiciou |
More stealth taxes?... :rolleyes: Im sure they'll find a way of laundering some MP's expenses or something to pay off the partys debts. This NL after all.

Also Labour do not have the resources to pay back the loans for very long if at all. According to the ex head of a Labour party funding committee on R5 live yesterday. I understand Labour are going to look into changing the way things are done, well only because they where caught again with the pants down! Whilst maybe not illegal certianly immoral - Labour, the party who where going to do away with sleaze, didin't Blair make that pledge along with a lot of others to get ellected all those years ago - Pull the other one Tone - ya days are numbered! Only a few weeks ago there was the scandal of unfit people being allowed to teach in our schools and we only found out about it because of the press/Police. We have people on probation killing and raping as they like - Probation Labours the answer to overcrowding in prisons! |
i heard on the radio this morning that the conservatives have refused to tell how many/much they got in loans as well
so lets not get any any high horses, there all as bad as one another :) |

Cherie goes off and gives a couple of lectures......

BBC News :
According to press reports, Labour had to turn to individual lenders because its bankers were unwilling to give it a larger overdraft. |

Their main problem is that they are demonised by the media (especially by the Blair Broadingcasting Corperation- BBC), and clearly they do have some undesirables in their ranks. It seems many of their policies are EXACTLY what hard working Britans want. |
One businessman made such a loan(according to the papers).
His company was lucky enough to win £1billion of government contracts.I'm pleased it worked out for him. |

The story that made me chuckle today, was one of the suggestions to abolish the loans/donations system, and start charging £3 per vote - from the voter!!! :D
Don't know whether or not it is true, but HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Dan :D |
If you give a car dealer 10k and he gives you a car its not a loan.
If you give the governemt 100k and he gives you a peerage.................... :) |

If you swap the word loan for backhander and think of it more of an investment and then enjoy the benefits of peerage or like said before the nice big juicy contracts rolling in the door!!
Politicians there all rotten to the core:mad: |
been thinking about this-you 'loan' them 1 million quid-u become a lord then-how much does a lordship pay in wages? then u have a cast iron pension plan! plus all ur other little expenses etc-must certainly be making more back per annum then u could ever hope for by sticking money in bank or even in stock market! seems a sound investment-if i win lottery i think i will earmark a million for a lordship :D
