Other Labour leaders have done so with the DUC.
As for the 'bribe' - the DUC are supporting and working with Government - it is an alliance - therefore they are entitled to some kind of consideration when money is allocated.

That isn't what happened. They wouldn't work with the government until the government agreed to the extra money. That is a bribe. They were PAID OFF to form an alliance as they were deliberately holding out. Stop pretending otherwise.
Also stop calling them the DUC it makes me giggle. Quack.
