QUOTE (user23 @ Jan 17 2012, 10:11 PM)  Perhaps he's gone AWOL as his leader now seems to support the Coalition's cuts? Indeed, if I was not confused before with their multi-millionaire former leader, I am now totally confused as to what the Labour Party is about! |

QUOTE (NWNREADER @ Jan 17 2012, 10:44 PM) Did you also read the last few sentences? Did you see the date of the article? Dated before Cameron senior died. Are you seriously suggesting that Cameron is NOT a multi-millionaire? |

I don't know, and I doubt you do. He comes from a long family line of (apparently) successful businessmen so I am sure the family shares some of the accumulated benefit of that.
At least, if he is personally wealthy, it does not arise purely because of his political position. That is different, in met view, to (for example) at least one past socialist Prime Minister. Even the current leader of the Opposition is alleged to have benefited from family nimbleness in financial affairs Is there a 'wealth' criteria? |

I think the implication is some members of parliament could do the job for free. The article also suggests that Cameron has 'played' the system as other MPs have in the past. Under the scheme of things, it is something I cannot get too excited about. What we do have, and it is something we have had since the beginning, are MPs making judgements that in most cases, don't adversely affect them. I think we need to understand that MPs have limited power in a global market.
