That bit I agree with.
I would never ever make a thread condemning any party leader on this issue, also I really believe that party leaders often haven't a clue what is actually going on as to their party a lot of the time anyway.

There is to be fair also some very nasty indeed anti Labour and particularly personally directed attacks on here as to Ed Miliband.
I never judge anyone on appearance, I doubt looking back Sir Alec Douglas Home, Harold MacMillan or even Clement Attlee would have seemed greatly photogenic as to appearance.
All were dedicated politicians and really good leaders however,I would say from all I have read as to them and seen on old newsreel etc;

I dislike intensely David Cameron for what he has done with power, not for how he looks, talks and eats.
I dislike the politician, not the man.

I'll answer that very easily, it wouldn't read the same at all... due to the difference in the number, amounts involved and reasoning behind the donations.

Are there any predictable histrionics or outrageous statements that have particularly offended you?
