Paid-For Politics?

How corrupt is our politics? Is a £5 million gift from a supporter to a politician - when he wasn't an MP - anyone's business but his own? Is it fine for a sitting MP to accept free gifts from a betting company, provided it's all declared? Does it matter if a minister who awarded a contract to a company, joins that company's board, once he's left office? Dan Hough, Professor of Politics at Sussex University, talks to Phil and R.oger about corruption among those in power, and how our system compares to the rest of the world. Hosted on Acast.
