Do political parties suck up to rich business people?

Answer 1

The ones who qare in government certainly do. Rupert Murdoch chooses who will govern the UK.

Answer 2

Who doesn't? Even the Bible says money answers all things. Rich people are able to create groups that will make sure their voice is heard on any issue of interest. They can pay lobbyist to serve their interest in legislative houses across the country. Crooked and desperate rich people are known to bribe and pay their way to get issues that concern them addressed by politicians.

Politics a pay for play game, I donate and pay for your campaign and election and you make sure to push my agenda when you get into office. This system is a little more subtle in the developed world. It is however less subtle in less developed countries where rich people who have financed election campaigns demand huge returns for their investments. This usually come in the award of government contracts that are never carried out or lucrative positions in government for one of their stooges.

Rich people like everyone else, as they pay to make political parties win election, they demand favors in return.

Answer 3

Political parties ARE rich, and suck.

Answer 4

Yes. Sucking up to the rich social parasites pays more than sucking up to the poor social parasites.

No, how can you ask such a question,

Blair has not made too much money in his share dealings in Kingspan plc etc.

Tesco has not grown out of control, Sainsbury's has not prospered.

Barclays Bank earned their £7.3 Billion PROFIT

Blair has his own money from Iraqi Oil he is a self made man.

What a ridiculous question, shame on you.

There is a tendency toward this behavior because these folks are their cash cows. Any endeavor requires monetary funding regardless of how altruistic the motivation and goals are.

Answer 8

I wouldnt ! I would be more likely to despise them, since so many suffer for their lack of REAL working abilities ! And the expense of the rest of humanity at their hands,,like africa, mexico, so. america,,china people, for their sweatshops,.,,etc.

Answer 9

Rich parties as you put it practically own them. The politicians are lackeys who get paid to do their bidding.

Answer 10

that's obvious, how else would they gain financial support. Think of all the oil companies, and tobacco companies who have Bush as a business partner.
