Hmm, rushed policy ideas from David Cameron usually are totally destined to fail or end up needing to be massively looked at again or have a 'listening' exercise, I expect that will be the case again with this policy.
He is really going to need 'all' the Lib Dems on board for this one I think and it would surprise me if he has the time,whether it is a good idea or not.

Odd that for over 3 years now he has done absolutely nothing as to this until now.

There's a fair few others from the other side that maybe should be on the bill too then in my view.
He may find he is opening a can of worms here that will backfire on him as he usually ends up doing.

They make it sound like trying to make the Labour/Unions alliance more transparent has only just occurred to the Conservatives. Last time they tried to cap donations Labour squealed and squealed...

Its better than nothing

It will surprise me if he succeeds in getting agreement to get it all through.
By the time it has been watered down and amended,I doubt much will remain from whatever original content this idea contained.

He has not really a good track record on getting what he calls major reforms passed with ease.

Ask yourself a question.... who do unions benefit?
Typical tories trying to spin it.... :idc:

Over 80 lobbyists banned from Parliament.

From Radio 5 Live

There was a Coronation Street Lobbyist Group
visting MP's.

Fecking New Labour made all this worse
