The findings about Reform’s funding come as the UN General Secretary calls for a fossil fuel advertising ban to “directly confront those in the fossil fuel industry who have shown relentless zeal for obstructing progress.”
Why do political parties even receive donations? It doesn't make sense to me that this is even a thing. It's just open corruption.
How else would they be funded?
I am always amused at how normalized it has become that political leaders need to advertise themselves as if they are a bottle of coke or some other brand.
We don't pick leaders anymore, we pick brands so of course they need vast sums of money because how else does one push brand awareness and convince people they need to choose a brand.
I had assumed they were, it's just a surprise that the tobacco industry isn't lobbing them cash too.
